Solar panels for home: which configuration we install in 2026
Customers order solar panels for home after surviving the 2022-25 winters on a diesel generator or long scheduled blackouts and deciding not to do that again. A typical customer this year: a one- or two-story house of 100-200 m² in Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro or Odesa region. Consumption is 4000-8000 kWh/year (water heater, AC, fridge, two laptops, gas boiler with a circulation pump). For this profile we install a 5-8 kW PV system.
The baseline kit a customer most often leaves with: 9-11 panels Veichi VCS-144H 555 W, a 5 kW hybrid inverter (Veichi SISV or Deye SUN-5K), a 5-10 kWh LiFePO4 battery. Total array 5-6 kW peak. Generates 5500-6800 kWh/year in Ukraine (1000-1200 kWh per 1 kW installed). That covers 70-90% of household consumption and rides out a 6-8 hour blackout on the battery without discomfort.
First question we ask: what kW size to take
Quick answer: size it by your electricity bill. If you pay 600-1000 UAH a month (about 200-400 kWh), a 3-4 kW system (6-8 panels of 500 W) is enough. Bills of 1500-2500 UAH (500-800 kWh) – we take 5-6 kW. Above 3000 UAH (1000+ kWh) – we look at 8-10 kW. This is the baseline math without seasonality or headroom for new loads (heat pump, EV, new AC).
What else we ask before payment. First: do you have grid connection now and what is your tariff (this decides whether to add net metering or only an offline reserve). Second: roof area, orientation, any shading. Third: heavy loads – well pump, pellet boiler, water heater, heat pump (the latter needs 2-3 kW peak headroom). Honest advice: do not size the system to the limit, because in a year or two you add a load and have to upsize the inverter. A 20-30% margin on kW is cheap now and saves headaches later. Warranty: 12/25 years on panels, 5 years on the inverter, 5-10 years on batteries. We ship from Kyiv in 1-3 days.

Solar Panel Manufacturers for Home
Veichi is a Chinese industrial equipment manufacturer specializing in frequency inverters, hybrid inverters, and solar panels. The VCS series includes three form factors: VCS-108H (390–430W, 108 half-cells), VCS-144H (530–585W, 144 half-cells), and VCS-156H (575–630W, 156 half-cells). All modules use monocrystalline silicon with PERC+ and Half-Cell technology, ensuring stable performance under partial shading. Veichi panels hold IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 certifications.
