Solar system for a villa with evening backup power

A solar system for a large villa that keeps every AC, the freezer and the pump running through a few hours of evening power cuts. Built around the LONGi Solar 20 × Hi-MO X10 Guardian LR7-60HVHL 550W — LONGi Solar quotes the rest on WhatsApp.

That's a 12 kW inverter, 10.2 kWh of battery storage and 20 panels working together.

How we sized it

This system is built to handle 11.7 kW at once. Appliances like compressors and pumps briefly draw far more than their running power the moment they switch on — so we size for that peak moment, not just the average, which is what keeps the inverter from tripping when a few things start up together. And the 12 kW inverter carries comfortable headroom above that peak.

Day to day, that's about 49.5 kWh of use — the number the LONGi Solar bundle above is built to cover.

We set aside about 8.3 kWh for that window; the smallest right-sized setup gives you 10.2 kWh installed, so the essentials keep running through the cut — LONGi Solar quotes the exact battery for you on WhatsApp.

The array works out to 10.9 kWp — 20 panels of the Hi-MO X10 Guardian LR7-60HVHL 550W across roughly 52 m² of roof — assuming the strong, fairly steady sunshine typical of our main markets (about 5.7 peak sun hours a day). Your own roof may do a little better or worse depending on shading and the season.

Frequently asked questions

What can this system power?

4+ bedrooms, four ACs plus a freezer and a pump, a large household running everything. It's sized to handle up to 11.7 kW at once — enough for whichever appliance switches on hardest.

How long does the backup last?

It's sized to set aside about 8.3 kWh for that window — about 4 hours at this home's average rate of use.

How many solar panels does it need?

20 panels, about 10.9 kWp, filling roughly 52 m² of roof.

Can I expand this system later?

Yes — inverters, batteries and panel arrays in this range are modular, so you can add more battery modules or extra panels later, starting from this 11.7 kW / 10.9 kWp baseline.
