Define the Job
Is the system for home solar, battery backup, pump power, pool equipment, EV charging, ranch loads, workshop power, or critical-load protection?
About SunKits.com
Solar Kit Education by ABC Solar
SunKits.com exists to make solar kit planning clearer, safer, and more honest. The site is built around one practical rule: start with the load, then design the kit.
Why this site exists
The Word “Kit” Needed Adult Supervision
Solar kits can be helpful when they organize a project. They become risky when they make serious electrical work sound like a casual weekend shortcut.
SunKits.com was created to explain the questions that should come before equipment shopping: what are you powering, how much power does it use, does it have startup surge, how long must it run, what happens at night, where will batteries go, what does the utility require, and what must be permitted and inspected?
The goal is not to make solar more complicated. The goal is to make the right complications visible before money is spent and before equipment is installed.
The SunKits approach
Load First. Kit Second.
The same principle appears across every page of this site.
List the Loads
Solar planning should begin with the real equipment: volts, amps, watts, runtime, startup surge, schedule, and priority.
Respect Runtime
Battery backup is not magic. Runtime depends on what is connected, how long it runs, and whether solar can recharge the system.
Design the System
Panels, batteries, inverters, breakers, wire, conduit, disconnects, labels, and monitoring must match the job.
Permit the Work
Solar kits are not permit shortcuts. Drawings, inspections, utility approval, and fire-code review may be required.
Install Safely
Real solar and battery systems need qualified licensed installation, proper commissioning, clear labeling, and serviceable equipment placement.
SunKits.com Is Educational
SunKits.com provides general educational information about solar kit planning. It does not provide site-specific engineering, electrical design, legal advice, construction drawings, permit approval, utility approval, product certification, or installation authorization.
Solar kits, batteries, pumps, EV charging, pool equipment, hybrid inverters, backup circuits, and remote power systems require proper design, permitting, utility approval where applicable, licensed installation, inspection, fire-code review, and code compliance.

ABC Solar role
Built From Field Experience
SunKits.com is brought to you by ABC Solar Incorporated.
ABC Solar’s practical field perspective shapes the site: the equipment matters, but the installation conditions matter too. Roofs, main panels, batteries, pumps, utility forms, clearances, labels, inspectors, and real customer loads all affect whether a solar project succeeds.
The site is designed to help property owners arrive at the solar conversation better prepared.
What we explain
The SunKits.com Topic Map
Each topic begins with the load and works toward safe system planning.
Home Solar
Rooftop solar, batteries, utility rules, main panels, backup goals, and future-ready home energy planning.
Battery Backup
Critical loads, runtime, inverter limits, battery placement, discharge, recharge, clearances, and safety.
Pump & Water
Well pumps, booster pumps, pressure, water storage, startup surge, controls, and water-system realities.
Pool Equipment
Pool pumps, lights, controls, runtime, wet-location safety, schedules, and battery expectations.
EV Charging
Charger size, daily miles, panel capacity, charging schedule, solar, batteries, and permit requirements.
Ranch & Remote
Wells, gates, barns, sheds, freezers, communications, distance, trenching, batteries, and maintenance.
Kit Sizing
Watts, amps, volts, surge, runtime, kilowatt-hours, solar recharge, and honest expectations.
Permits & Safety
Drawings, labels, disconnects, inspections, utility approval, fire-code review, and licensed installation.
Why manga characters?
Because Solar Mistakes Need Names
The manga characters make technical lessons easier to remember.
Load Monster represents the unmeasured demand that eats batteries. Permit Goblin represents the code path that cannot be ignored. Madame Peak Rate represents the expensive utility clock. Briggs the Battery Beast represents stored energy. Professor Sol-Ark represents the hybrid inverter brain. Solar Sensei keeps the design honest.
The jokes are playful. The lessons are serious.
Solar Sensei’s Rule
“Panels are the promise. Batteries are the patience. Inverters are the brain. Loads are the truth. Permits are reality asking for a signature.”

The ABC Solar connection
Contact a Real Solar Contractor Before the Box Becomes a Problem
The better the load list, bill history, site photos, and project goals, the better the solar conversation becomes.
Before buying equipment, gather the basics: utility bill, electrical panel photos, roof or site photos, equipment nameplates, pump data, EV charging goals, pool equipment details, and blackout expectations.
Useful starting materials
- Recent utility bill
- Main panel photo
- Meter photo
- Roof or equipment-area photos
- Battery or inverter location idea
- Load list and backup priorities
- Pump, pool, EV, or workshop nameplates
