You have done your research already and want people to confuse you.
I have worked with all these brands, they provide AC to your load, 1 to 3 are practically the same thing, 4 is a semi-pro with added features you may or may not need.
The Summary is you will get what you paid for!

Just go with what fits your Budget and what your heart chooses!

When I saw the bolded I knew the responses to expect, you can see people listing products he wasn't interested in.

Even 1m, can't get DEYE of 5kw.

@Op that amount will get you Sako 6.2kw with accessories and installation.

Then just to buy battery and panels na remain.

Well said . We'll be on the lookout for "LASTINO"

Xanderone:


This is exactly the reason behind the name. Neophytes that don't know about the various battery chemistry will hear that lithium battery is good and lasts much longer than LA, then rush to go buy "Lithium battery". And true true, na "Lithium battery" he buy, so why should it not last long.

There are many ways to increase sales of a product, but this here is one bad way to make sales - tricking ignorant buyers.

Submissions have been apt on this. A hybrid inverter in place of felicity standalone (even 7.5kva felicity hybrid inverter is still okay) and a badass 48v LFP pack within your budget is the way to go. The moment I saw 2 tubular batteries in tbe lineup from your installer, I just made up my mind about him

Na spirikoko installer grin grin grin, maybe him go turn 2 batteries to 4 batteries.

Same type of installer go tell you say no need for audit, your inverter can power heaven and earth.

He's number 5 called for the responses to other brands. He's gotten responses, he should make do with what he's budget can take...

Good day people, I intend to install a 5/6kva hybrid inverter. I have attached the quotation received from my installer. Just wanted to get remark about the adequacy and reasonableness of this quotation from knowledgeable folks and experts in the house. I welcome any advice, suggestions, comments.
Is it advisable to combine a particular brand of inverter (eg GOspower) with a totally different brand of lithium battery (MARSTEK)? While my installer quoted 1.7M for the battery, I did some research and found the contact of the main dealer of the battery in Nigeria. I could get it for 1.2M directly from their office in Ogba. However, the hybrid inverter of the same brand (MARSTEK) cost 1.2M and they're not willing to reduce the price. They advise buying their inverter and battery together but completely optional with a caveat though - that combining my battery with a different brand of the inverter voids my warranty (10 years), as they cannot vouch for the performance of the inverter I would use if it's not from them or one of brands they've tested. They sent me a list of other brands that their battery is compatible with, however, the prices are ridiculously high compared to theirs.

Is it worth taking the risk to go ahead with the quotation given to me by my installer? I don't just think I want to buy an inverter of over 1.2M. It's a lot mehn.

Your installer is on point, he is taking full responsibility for sourcing and warranty claims, that is not an easy task.. do it yourself to gain experience anyway!

Since you are a Semi DIY, Buy the inverter and batteries from them, but you are on your own you will have to liaise with Marstek if anything goes wrong.

And let the installer do his installation job if he is still willing to.

You can combine inverters and batteries of any brand with no issue, A batteries Manufacturer should not use that as an excuse to void the warranty, it is a bad sign. You should be fine if you maintain their recommended charge and Discharge profile.

they should have gone ahead to tell you that your load also may void your warranty cheesy

Thank you for your comments. You're right about the installer taking the warranty up in case anything happens but that doesn't justify unnecessary mark up in the price. Increase in the price, fair enough but let it be reasonable. Honestly, money is not easy to come by these days. It's hard to cough out this much and I'm sure you understand. I want to optimize where I can and where possible and feasible with sacrificing quality. I am open to a win-win option that works fine for myself and the installer but he doesn't want to bulge on the prices, hence, the need to procure the materials myself.

Buy battery from Felicity or Sako.

Or buy from Valto or Isangjohnson. Best wh/# on the market rn.

Use the money you saved from the battery to buy more panels. 1800w is nice but in six months you'll be wishing you bought more panels, trust me.

Alright, just as posted earlier today you can go for the setup below:
Almost Double the Panel Size for the same amount: 5KW Inverter, 5KWH Batteries and 3,330W Panels

LFP batteries at least 5KWH 48V for a start, 1.2M Marstek you already source.
Hybrid inverter SAKO/WELION 5KW 48V with MPPT at 500K max.
Solar Panels 6 units of Jinko 555watts, 960K
Accessories and installation about 440k
To make 3.1M total

Thank you . What's the downside of installing 1800W in 6 month? Not an expert but asking out of curiosity

Panels are never enough. There'll always be the burning urge to increase your panel array.

Also, in this rainy season, 1800w really won't give you optimal service. I installed a 1740w array months ago and I'm already thinking of expanding it.

I got a 22U rack over the weekend for about 275k (which seem to be the common price in computer village lagos) an 18U should be slightly cheaper. I would find the contact of the seller and post it.

Be careful with the various batteries in the market.
Most people are out to sell without minding what happens thereafter
Many relationships broken just because of bad batteries

Let the experience of dealers with good referall be your insurance even if its a little costlier.

Good morning experts in the house

Let me get straight to it

Want to replace my 4 tubular batteries with a Lithium alternative (Open budget) .. tired of trenches backup lol

Please help give suggestions to the 4 best brands to buy and recommended kW ( have a 5kva Growatt setup with 4,600w PV jinko panels)

Please put in consideration I want to run a 1.5hp inverter AC along with my load (which averages 800w all through the day and the occasional bursts of 3,000w due to heavy load appliances for 20 mins)

Cheers guys and thanks in advance!

See many load wey he get na grin

Anyway, I'd say a 10kwh battery should be just about enough. Maybe 15kwh if finances allow, though he'd probably need to increase his pv array to around 6kw.

I think what mostly determines pv array needed is your daily energy consumption......I don't see someone needing more than 6kw pv panels if your average daily energy consumption is 10kwh. Even 4.5kw pv is ok. I might be wrong
