Solar system for a shop with overnight backup power
A solar system sized for a shop that carries the fridge, lights and till through a full night without grid power. Built around the Huawei MJS SUN2000-6K-LB0, with LUNA2000-15-S0 — Huawei MJS quotes the rest on WhatsApp.
That's a 6 kW inverter, 15 kWh of battery storage and 11 panels working together.
How we sized it
This system is built to handle 5.6 kW at once. Appliances like compressors and pumps briefly draw far more than their running power the moment they switch on — so we size for that peak moment, not just the average, which is what keeps the inverter from tripping when a few things start up together. And the 6 kW inverter carries comfortable headroom above that peak.
Day to day, that's about 25.2 kWh of use — the number the Huawei MJS bundle above is built to cover.
We set aside about 8.4 kWh for that window; the LUNA2000-15-S0 we've picked gives you 15 kWh installed, so the essentials keep running through the cut.
The array works out to 5.5 kWp — 11 panels across roughly 29 m² of roof, which Huawei MJS quotes for you on WhatsApp — assuming the strong, fairly steady sunshine typical of our main markets (about 5.7 peak sun hours a day). Your own roof may do a little better or worse depending on shading and the season.
Frequently asked questions
A small retail shop, two ACs and a till running all day. It's sized to handle up to 5.6 kW at once — enough for whichever appliance switches on hardest.
It's sized to set aside about 8.4 kWh for that window — about 8 hours at this home's average rate of use.
11 panels, about 5.5 kWp, filling roughly 29 m² of roof.
Yes — inverters, batteries and panel arrays in this range are modular, so you can add more battery modules or extra panels later, starting from this 5.6 kW / 5.5 kWp baseline.
