There is light. There is heat. You are calm.
We understand the importance of energy independence for people and their peace of mind, so we have developed the service “Assemble a solar power plant yourself”. We provide a set of solar panels, instructions and online support – you get a home power plant with your own hands.
What's included in the "build it yourself" kit
- Solar panels, quantity depends on power
- Inverter (grid/hybrid)
- Mountings for concrete roof, rails, terminals, anchors
- DC/AC cables, MC4 connectors, corrugation/channels
- Protection: DC/AC disconnectors, SPD, circuit breakers, signs
- Optional BESS (battery), EV charging
- Documentation: connection diagram, step-by-step instructions, video guide, photo-reception checklist
How to choose the power of the kit
The right power and configuration depend on the consumption scenario: what exactly needs to work during outages, how many devices are running at the same time, and what autonomy time you expect. Refer to the examples below, and you can make a detailed selection together with an engineer.
Prices for solar battery kits for self-assembly
| Consumption scenario | Power of the solar power plant | Completeness |
|---|---|---|
| Wi-Fi, laptop, router, lighting Basic reserve for work and study at home | 3 kW | 6 panels × 500 W, 3 kW inverter, mountings, cables, protection, instructions + online support |
| +electric boiler, refrigerator, TV Comfortable life without a generator | 5 kW | 10 panels × 500 W, 5 kW inverter, full set of mountings and cables, DC/AC protection, Wi-Fi monitoring |
| Whole house: lighting, appliances, heating, Wi-Fi, up to 24-hour uninterrupted power | 10 kW (+ BESS 10 kWh option) | 18-20 panels × 550 W, 10 kW hybrid inverter, protection, automation, step-by-step diagram, online engineer |
| Mini-business / Home office / workshop Cash register, refrigerators, PC, light, Wi-Fi | 15 kW (+ BESS up to 15 kWh) | 28-30 panels, hybrid inverter, full kit + BESS and EV charging option |
Tip: for a house of ~200–250 m², 9–15 kW is usually taken (a detailed selection can be made with our engineer).
How does it work?
- Choose your scenario. Tell us what you want to power – Wi-Fi, boiler, workshop or the whole house. An engineer will help you choose the optimal power and configuration and answer all your questions.
- You receive a ready-made kit. Panels, inverter, mounting, cables, protection and step-by-step instructions – all in one box, without searching for “what and where to buy”.
- Install yourself. We provide an assembly diagram, video guide and online engineer support. Installation takes 1-2 days, without complicated work or special tools.
- Start and use. You have light, warmth and peace even during outages.
- We are in touch and, if necessary, advise on any problems that arise.
Do-it-yourself vs. Professional Installation Rubicon
| Parameter | Assemble it yourself | Professional installation Rubicon |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Pay 20-25% cheaper only for the equipment | The price includes materials, design, work and settings |
| Speed | Installation yourself at your own pace, according to instructions and with online engineer support | The team completes in 1-2 days: arrival, installation, settings, testing |
| Warranty | Warranty for equipment from the manufacturer | Equipment warranty + work + post-installation audit |
| Responsibility | We are responsible for the quality of the panels and components, you are responsible for the installation | Full responsibility for the quality, safety and launch of the system |
| Options | Can be gradually expanded - add BESS, EV charging, panels | A comprehensive turnkey solution with optimization for the tariff and roof |
| Control | You study the scheme yourself, gain experience | We do everything - you get a ready-made working system |
| Safety | You rely on your own strength, knowledge and skills | A team with experience in over 50 energy projects works for you |
Conclusion:
- Choose “Do it yourself” if you want to save money and understand basic tools.
- Choose Rubicon installation if you value time, warranty and peace of mind.
