Solar Kits vs. Buying Components Separately: Which Saves You More Money & Hassle?

Introduction

Switching to solar power is an exciting step — but should you buy a complete solar kit or purchase each component individually? Both options can work, but the right choice depends on your budget, experience, and timeline.

At Build The Power, we stock a wide range of Complete Solar Kits as well as individual panels, inverters, batteries, and charge controllers so you can build the system that suits you.

What is a Complete Solar Kit?

A solar kit bundles everything you need to start generating power:

• Solar panels

• Charge controller

• Inverter

• Battery storage (if included)

• Cables and mounting hardware

See our Complete Solar Kits Collection for ready-to-install packages.

Buying Components Separately

Buying components individually allows you to choose each part of your system — from panel brand and wattage to inverter type and battery chemistry. This is ideal for experienced installers or those with very specific requirements.

At Build The Power, we also stock a full range of Solar Panels, Power Inverters, and Battery Storage for custom builds.
