Solar kits are marketed as the perfect solution to get you up and running quickly, but they’re often pre-packaged with components that you don’t need - or might not work for your exact use case. They feature random component sizes and cable lengths, meaning you’re stuck with equipment that’s overkill for your situation or doesn't work for you. This results in waste - of time, money, and the environment.

If you overestimate your needs and purchase a larger system than necessary, you may end up paying for equipment you’ll never use. On the flip side, if you underestimate your needs, you might find yourself constantly upgrading your system just to keep things running smoothly.

While some people may turn to a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach in an effort to save money—(and because it can be fun) - off-grid solar design involves a lot of technical knowledge. Everything from determining the right panel sizes to configuring your battery bank, wire thickness, circuit breakers, inverter, and wiring properly. Even a small mistake can lead to inefficient energy production, costly repairs, or, worse, safety hazards.

It's easy to buy incorrect or unnecessary components or end up with a setup that’s inefficient, underpowered for your use case, or simply doesn’t work.

Engineers and solar installation companies charge premium rates for their time, expertise, and the custom solutions they provide. You’re paying highly qualified individuals to read component manuals, do solar calculations, estimate voltage drops, calculate which combination of panels would fit on your roof, and consider a variety of other factors—that aren’t rocket science—but take time and knowledge.

If money is no obstacle - go for it! At LUX Solar, we just think there is a better way.

We agree that knowledge is crucial to off-grid solar, we just think it can be packaged up and shared with the world in a much better way. That's why we developed AnyKit, which uses the knoweldge of a solar expert to consider all relevant factors to create the perfect kit.

LUX Anykit allows you to take control of your solar system with automated, customizable off-grid electrical design tools that let you create a system that fits your exact needs. We have embedded all of the knowledge an experienced and skilled solar engineer has into an application that calculates all the details you need.

The system automatically optimizes the electrical efficiency of your setup to give you the maximum energy output for the lowest cost.

Optionally, our friendly LUX Solar team can even pre-wire it for you so it’s ready to “Plug & Play.”
