Compact Tiny House Solar Kit

100UP’s Small Compact system is a ground-mounted off-grid solar kit designed for tiny houses, featuring 1.4kW solar panels and a 5kWh or 8kWh battery bank. Prewired and free-standing, it assembles in four hours with two people handling the frame and an electrician completing connections. The system powers essentials like lighting, refrigeration, and small appliances, with expandable options via extension blocks and additional batteries.

BEST FOR

Ideal for tiny house owners needing a reliable primary power source, small off grid dwellings where roof mounting is not practical, and hands on owner builders who want to complete most of the installation themselves. It’s also well suited to properties where the system may need to be relocated in the future, or for buyers who prefer to start with a manageable system and expand capacity over time.

Summary

100up's compact backup off-grid solar: 1.4kW solar (3 panels), 5 or 8kWh Sigenergy battery, 5-6kW Sigenergy inverter, mounted on a galvanised steel frame. Easy to deploy as a backup or tiny-house solution. 2,500-13,500.

Three panels. One battery. Up to four hours to set up.

The Small Compact system is 100UP’s ground-mounted off-grid kit built specifically for tiny houses and small off-grid dwellings. Free-standing, prewired, and designed to go up without heavy machinery. Two people can assemble the frame. An electrician needs an hour or two for the final connections, that’s it.

It runs on 1.4kW of solar and either a 5kWh or 8kWh Sigenergy battery bank. Enough for lighting, fridge, device charging, and small appliances. And if your needs grow, it expands. Also includes a switchboard and bracket system. This allows you to mount the switchboard and battery on the frame. Extra panels via 3-panel extension blocks, extra batteries whenever you’re ready.

The frame is portable too so it can relocate if your tiny house moves. Permanently installed or picked up and shifted. The system works as a Small Backup Off-Grid Solar System too .

  • System $12,500–$13,500
  • 3 Panels extension block $2,500–$3,000
