Real-World Applications: Where Does a 5 kWh System Shine?

Let''s break down how these systems solve everyday problems:

1. Camping & RV Adventures

A 5 kWh setup can power essentials for 2-3 days: Example: A family of four used a single panel to run lights, a mini-fridge, and charge devices during a weekend trip to Yellowstone.

2. Emergency Backup Power

When storms knock out grids, these systems keep critical devices running. Data shows 78% of solar users report improved emergency preparedness.

Device	Runtime (5 kWh System)
CPAP Machine	50+ hours
Wi-Fi Router	120 hours
LED Lights	300+ hours

Choosing Your System: 3 Must-Check Features
