Base Kit 3 - Tiny House 2160W Off Grid Solar Power System

Tiny House Base Kit #3 - Large
 2160 Watt Solar Power System for Tiny Houses

This 2160 Watt Tiny House Kit includes 6 solar panels (the image to the right is just a representative image of a solar-powered tiny home using 3 panels). A solar-powered Tiny House is the next best thing to having a Tiny House! altE has designed 3 Solar Power System Base Kits - Small, Medium, and Large - depending on the size and power needs of your tiny home.

So where should you begin?

How much power will I get from this system on average, each month?
