An 8kW solar power system supports a large home or busy shop with comfortable margin. Three Sungold Power options are in stock from $5,518, all 48VDC off-grid kits with 120/240V output and LiFePO4 storage. Their split-phase output runs both standard outlets and 240V loads like pumps and dryers. The main decision is how much battery you want alongside the 8,000W inverter, since capacity sets overnight runtime. Review the included panels and battery sizes in each listing, then call or email for help sizing against your electric bill.

8kW Solar System Kits: Split-Phase Power for a Whole Home

An 8kW solar system is the step where 240V arrives. Every kit here is built around an 8,000W 48V inverter with 120V/240V split-phase output, which is what a well pump, an electric dryer, a central air handler or a 240V workshop tool needs. Paired with 10 to 20kWh of LiFePO4 storage and a 3,300W to 5,400W array, these packages are sized for a full-time off-grid house or a home that wants to ride out multi-day outages.

The collection holds four Sungold Power packages. The 8kw solar system price runs from $5,518 for the SGR-8K10E with 10.24kWh and eight 415W panels, through $6,979 for the SGK-8MAX with a 5,400W array, to $8,880 for the SGM-8K20 with 20.48kWh of battery. A fourth option, the 14.3kWh Complete 48V Power System without panels, is sold out at $5,899.

Not sure 8kW is the right size? Our guide what size solar system do I need turns your monthly kWh into array kW and panel count, and explains why a kit's 8,000W inverter rating is not the same as its panel wattage.

How to choose an 8kW solar kit

  • Storage for your nights and cloudy days. The Sungold Power SGR-8K10E with 10.24kWh carries a home's essentials overnight. The Sungold Power SGM-8K20 with 20.48kWh doubles that with four 5.12kWh modules, which is the difference between rationing on a rainy day and not noticing it.
  • Array size for your winter. Eight 415W panels make 3,320W; twelve 450W panels make 5,400W. The Sungold Power SGK-8MAX with 5,400W of panels is the kit for northern states or shaded lots, where December sun hours are short and a bigger array refills the same 10.24kWh in fewer hours.
  • Loads that overlap. An 8kw inverter runs a 240V well pump alongside a refrigerator, washer and lights; Sungold lists the SGM-8K20 for washers, refrigerators and water pumps. Central air plus an electric range at the same time is a 10kW conversation.
  • Panels included or your own. The sold-out Complete 48V Power System pairs the 8,000W inverter with a 14.3kWh Rhino 2 battery, wall charger, 300A fuse kit and bus bars, but no panels. It fits owners who already have an array on the roof.
  • Monitoring. The SGK-8MAX battery is Bluetooth-enabled, so you can check state of charge from a phone; the other kits report through the inverter display.

Sizing tips

  • Start with the Solar Kit Calculator. Enter every appliance and your ZIP code; it returns the battery, inverter and array size your sun hours require, and tells you which of these three kits lands closest.
  • Decide on storage first, panels second. Adding panels to an 8kw solar kit later is a simple job; adding battery modules means matching the model already installed, so buy the 20.48kWh kit now if you know you will need it.
  • Both inverter MPPT inputs should be used. The SGM-8K20 and SGK-8MAX are dual-MPPT; split the array into two strings on different roof faces so morning and afternoon production both count.
  • Plan the battery location. Four 5.12kWh modules and an inverter want a dry, cool wall in a garage or utility room, out of freezing temperatures.
  • Budget for the electrician and permit. An 8,000W split-phase system feeding a house panel is a permitted installation in most jurisdictions; we can supply spec sheets for the inspector.

Frequently asked questions

Is an 8kW solar system kit enough to go fully off grid? For a modest home with propane or wood heat and a gas range, yes. The SGM-8K20's 20.48kWh and 4,980W array cover a typical family's daily use with reserve; homes with electric heat need more storage and array than any single kit here.

What is the difference between the SGR-8K10E and SGK-8MAX? Same 8,000W inverter class and 10.24kWh of battery; the 8MAX adds four more panels and steps each up to 450W for 5,400W total, plus a Bluetooth-enabled battery. The $1,461 difference buys roughly 60% more solar.

Can I run a 240V well pump? Yes. Split-phase 120V/240V output is standard on every kit in this collection, unlike the 120V-only 5kW packages.

Kits ship free to the mainland US from Sungold Power's partner warehouse, usually within a few business days, with 30-day returns. Call us with your load list and we will confirm which 8kW package matches it.
