Several roof sections meet above the white and grey walls of this Kingston house. Solar panels occupy part of the pitched roof, with new equipment also installed indoors. The property has five bedrooms and two bathrooms.

We completed the installation on July 24, 2026, after two days on site. Photographs show the building as a whole and an installer connecting equipment indoors. The array and two batteries serve household loads including refrigeration, lighting and air conditioning.

Bedroom cooling connects daytime and evening electricity use

Alongside the refrigerator and lights, air conditioning is an important part of this home's electrical demand. Daytime cooling can use solar generation as it becomes available. Air conditioning continuing after sunset needs energy from the batteries or another source. The rooms being cooled and the operating hours affect that evening demand.

The installation uses twelve 600W panels, a 10kW split phase inverter and two 51.2V 300Ah lithium batteries. The 7.2kWp array generates during daylight, while the batteries provide approximately 30.72kWh of combined nominal storage for later use.

During an external outage, appliances connected to the backup circuits can also draw on stored energy. In Jamaica, network restoration proceeds through stages before reaching individual supply lines. How much a household can keep running while waiting depends on its available charge and connected loads.

Following the different levels of the existing roof

The building photographs show an upper wall close to a lower pitched roof, with panels following the lower slope. The roof has to be considered in sections: higher walls and roof ridges can affect early or late sunlight on panels below. Positioning twelve panels involves the shape and orientation of this house, not a standard layout based only on bedroom count.

After two days of work, the panels, batteries and household distribution were connected, adding electricity generation to an existing roof.
