Do you have a small off grid cabin or retreat that you’d like to run with solar power? This kit is perfect for you! Sized at 5.4kW, this kit is the ideal size for a completely off grid cabin under 800sqft. with fewer electrical loads than an average home. Compatible with 120v loads only.
Solar is easier than ever when you order a DIY Solar Kit through Practical Preppers. Our team will be by your side from the beginning to the very end. Our kits are the most DIY-friendly kits available with the all-in-one, pre-wired Sol-Ark inverters. This small, off grid do-it-yourself solar kit includes the Sol-Ark 5k-1P-N 120 volt inverter, Iron Ridge ground mount (water pipe must be procured separately), solar panels, batteries, and more! Read the full details of what’s included below.
This small off grid kit has a small battery bank, so there will be power interruptions due to prolonged inclement weather. We recommend pairing this system with a Honda 2200 EU Generator in order to avoid power interruptions. Please reach out if you have questions about pairing this kit with a backup power source.
There are many variables that affect your solar requirements. If you are unsure if this kit is right for you, please start your consultation before purchasing and we will make sure you have exactly what you need! While necessary changes can be made after purchase, this kit is non-refundable upon purchase.

DIY Solar Customer Testimonial
★★★★★
I purchased it all (DIY Solar System Equipment) from Scott Hunt, owner of Practical Preppers LLC as a complete package. He provided everything but the concrete and wire (although he did provide all of the project-specific cables for the batteries and panels which greatly simplified the build). Everything was shipped to my home via truck freight and arrived in a very timely manner… If you’re looking for any sort of alternative energy, water, or other such non-typical, self-sufficiency types of projects, I urge to you check them out. There are lots of businesses out there doing these things in what is a hot and growing industry, but going through someone who lives the life, and isn’t just tapping into a lucrative market segment, carries a big weight with me.
