The Chinese Inverters give better support than this Homaya from my experience.

My Schneider Homaya inverter that I didn't enjoy for up to 3 months is still with them almost one year now

First they were giving stories,

Now they aren't replying to emails or support tickets.

When I have time I would take it up.

@jonescosmos

opps, I must have missed this question.

I would go for Growatt SPF 5000 ES anytime and over. The truth is Schneider Electric Homaya Pro S4000 Inverter is Transformer based.
From my experience with Transformer based inverters, they are not perfect at Battery Management or Battery Saving. Some are not very Intelligent also.
The only advantage I may have spotted is that Transformer based are better to handle inductive loads than the Transformerless.

Side by side key points has been listed as the PROS and CONS of both designs.

Transformer-based

PROS


Due to the complexity in their designs, transformer inverters are built with electrical isolation between DC and AC circuits which lowers the risk of shock and surges.
They are rugged and suitable for inductive load.

CONS

Transformer inverters require extra components which comes at an extra cost, making them more expensive than transformerless inverters.
They are usually bulky and take up more space.

Transformerless

PROS


Transformerless inverters are much lighter and compact compared to the transformer-based inverters.
With Transformerless inverters energy losses are avoided as well as extra components costs, making it more affordable.
Transformerless inverters use electronic (rather than mechanical) switching, thereby reducing the amount of heat generated by the inverter.

CONS

Transformerless inverters are more prone to surges and shocks because they are less complex in design. Although, some inverters come with inbuilt surge protectors to avert that, it is advisable to use external surge protectors for safety purposes.

Finally, THE CHOICE IS ACTUALLY YOURS

Please resist the urge. E get why.

They provide support via their vendors on ground, they don't have service centers, so they don't repair, vendors can only claim warrantee and parts will be dispatched to them. You as a buyer bought the item after it has been on vendor's shelf for half a year, you bring it in for a fix after ten months, vendors warrantee with the manufacturer ended six months ago.

Now you understand why some vendors will stop replying your emails and calls and the postings will last almost forever until you tire out and move with your life.

Sorry for your experience my brother. Please take it up oo. Imagine swallowing 1.2mil in broad daylight and still refusing to offer support. This is a timely advice and I'll avoid the inverter like a plague. Many thanks for your contribution

Oh wow. This actually makes sense. I understand why some situations usually lead to serious fights. And to the company, they have made their money and vendors don't wanna be at the losing end either...

I was also considering it because of the big name - Schneider. I never knew I was better off with even Andre Onana inverter grin
Anybody who avoids honouring warranty is a thief. Let's not sugarcoat it.

That guy made us proud today, FA Cup na still something.

What's the essence of selling something you can't vouch (Warranty) for?

1yr Warranty is nothing.

If you're buying inverter or battery bank, minimum should be 3yrs, money no be water since past administration.

Go for SAKO Inverter.

Congratulations on winning the FA cup boss👏🏾

SAKO has seriously caught my attention lately. Do you know anything about their support services? It looks very solid and affordable but the problem now is that I don't know if it's part of the chop and clean mouth crew like my man Wesley Fofana Sneijder grin

Money is extremely hard to come by and throwing millions into the atlantic ocean is definitely not part of anyone's agenda in this great tinubulation

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by durodee(m): 9:35pm On May 25
The Monbats were in service for about 3years+. The first two years in my house under monitored use and the later part used for business and well abused. The were replaced in my house by my first set of lithium in 2020. The lithium pack was bought USED from someone here on Nairaland who just coupled his own. I changed the BMS to Bluetooth enabled BMS not too long ago so I can monitor the cells

I have bought four packs in all from him over the years. Transactions were unpressured and he responded to the issues with one of the packs as professionally as possible. Sometime he will be offline for days, placing a normal call or text message will make him check his whatsapp.
We all have our peculiarities and while he is the best person to explain his actions in this case, "quick-grab-money " attitude is not one of his vices!.
Is it possible he is on site outside network area?
