Installation packages5kW solar installation package
When day-time use is high — pools, heat pumps, large families — 5kW captures more solar per roof hour. We confirm DNO acceptance and structural capacity before booking.
Installation packages5kW solar installation package
5kW targets larger homes and higher day-time loads — multiple occupants, pools, heat pumps, or home offices. It uses more roof area and often requires formal DNO review on single-phase supplies.
BlankSolar confirms grid acceptance before install and specifies inverters with appropriate export limits. The package can be paired with 5–10 kWh battery storage to improve evening self-consumption.
Small commercial premises with similar load profiles can use the same disciplined survey and quote process.
- Higher generation for demanding homes
- DNO application support included
- Battery pairing often recommended
- Fixed scope with clear line items
Scale up savings
Greater self-consumption and export potential.
Larger arrays
Typically 12–14 modules depending on wattage. We design strings to reduce mismatch from partial shading.
Battery pairing
5kW pairs well with 5–10 kWh storage for evening use. We quote GivEnergy, Fox ESS, or SolarEdge storage options.
Commercial option
Small business premises with 5kW demand benefit from the same package discipline — survey still required.

Guides worth reading first
Plain-English explainers from our blog.
System size
Choosing a solar system size
BlankSolar installs packages from 2kW to 6kW, and larger systems where the roof and supply allow it. Size should follow the property, not a default package.
Batteries
Battery storage for UK homes
A battery lets you keep solar generation for the evening instead of exporting it straight away. Here is when it helps, and what installation involves.
Export
Smart Export Guarantee, explained
The Smart Export Guarantee pays you for surplus electricity you send to the grid. Here is how it works, and why the paperwork from your installer matters.
