What's the best affordable hybrid inverter to buy with minimum of 3.5kva 24v?
Considering you already have a good 24v(2 x 12V 220AH tubular Battery).

NB: One that has good after sales support.

Drgreatone:

That's nice. Use a 2kv12v sms inverter and it's bin doing just fine.
Had issues with the fan always on most of the time when working but recently decided to clean my anti-dust kit. Was so dusty but after cleaning ,fan just comes on occasionally.
2ndly noticed it wasnt always charging my battery well esp when input is around 200-300w (was using 3 300w panels that increasingly looks fake) but then guess thats why its hybrid. I added 2 more (fake)panels to take the pv volt over 150v and it charges better once I'm getting 350w upwards.
Hoping to get original panels to swap the fakes and see just ow well it wud perform

Thanks for this review.
I'm still in the process of deciding which budget friendly Hybrid inverter to buy. And SMS is one of them. Atleast for now.
I'd like to know, does it have monitoring app via Wifi.

Hope to hear from you.

Hello Guyz,
I just needed a professional opinion on this.
I currently have a 12V system with 1000W(4X250) PV in use for about 3years connected to 2 220AH tubular with a 60A CC.
Experience has been good but I'm thinking of upgrading to a Hybrid system. Reasons been that I want to do it in phases myself.
Base on the research in this thread i was able to drill down to the following hardwares:

SMS Hybrid Inverter 2kva/ 2000W 12V (Mppt 80A)
625W X 4 Jinko PV due to space.

However, based on my research, I'm skeptical about the inverter ability to handle the energy from the panel or go the route of upgrading to a 24V system with 120A CC with same amount of panels due to space.

My questions are:
1. Has anyone used that Inverter and whether it can stand test of time.
2. Based on the ratings I've seen for the inverter being 4000W for PV, with it be able to handle future PV addition.
3. Would you advice upgrade the system to a 24V system with 120A CC.

NB: Everything is within a budget and can't exceed but has been prioritized.

All opinions are welcome.
