Salam everyone,

I’m planning a solar setup for my house and would really appreciate some guidance from people with real experience.

My load includes:

3–4 inverter ACs (1.5 ton)

2 fridges

Microwave, fans, lights, etc

Occasionally electric stove

Right now, due to budget constraints, I’m thinking of installing:

15kW hybrid inverter

Starting with ~7kW panels

Then expanding to 14–15kW panels next year

Battery I will not install immediately, but planning to add lithium battery later (10–15 kWh).

My questions:

Which 15kW hybrid inverter is best for:

Future panel expansion

Smooth lithium battery integration later

Good after-sales in Pakistan

I’m considering brands like:

GoodWe

Fox ESS

Solis

Growatt

→ Any real-world feedback on these?

For lithium battery later:

Which brands are reliable? (Dyness, Pylontech, etc.)

Any compatibility issues I should be aware of?

Is it okay to start with 7kW panels on a 15kW inverter? Any downsides?

Anything you wish you knew before installing hybrid systems in Pakistan?

Would really appreciate honest feedback, especially from people already using similar setups 🙏

recently got a quotation for a 10kW hybrid solar system with the following details:

Solar Panels: 645W panels (approx. 26 panels total)

Inverter: 10kW Hybrid (Lux Power)

Battery: 10kWh Lithium (Nippon)

Structure: Included

Wiring & Protections: Included (DC/AC wiring, DB, breakers)

Installation & Labor: Included

💰 Total Cost: ~1,824,000 PKR

🏠 My Home Load:

2–3 × 1.5 ton inverter ACs

8–9 fans

1 refrigerator

20–30 LED lights

Iron (press)

Microwave

Other small appliances

What I Need Help With:

Is this price fair for this setup in Pakistan right now?

Is Nippon lithium battery reliable or should I go for a better brand?

Is Lux Power inverter a good option or should I upgrade (e.g., GoodWe/Sungrow)?

Should I install the system without battery first and add it later?

Anything else I should be careful about before finalizing?

🤔 My Thoughts:

645W panels seem like a good option

Not fully confident about the battery brand

Overall price feels slightly on the higher side

🙏 Looking for advice from:

People with solar experience in Pakistan

Installers / engineers

Anyone using similar systems
