Salam to all brothers. I would be looking to install solar system for my home and have certain questions for which I need your expert guidance. My budget is around 1.1-1.2 million. Now, coming over to my specific requirements :-

1. I am a Govt employee and have to move city to city like every 2 years. What would be the ideal structure for this scenario which can be easily dismantled and packed? Would appreciate if anyone has done something similar and can guide.

2. Net metering is not an option due to frequent moving. I was thinking of going all solar during the day and max battery during night with minimal reliance on grid. My max load would be 3 inverter ACs( 1 x 1.5, 2 x 1 ton) along with home appliances and a 800W PC. That's the max load. All 3 ACs wont be used everyday. Only the 1 x 1.5 ton would be utilised mostly and additionally 1 ton will be used for a few hours only.

3. I am a staunch believer of building for the future and investing in good quality equipment once.

4. I need suggestions on what would be the best options for me as per my load. Like should I get a 8kw or 10kw inverter, a 5.1kwh battery and remaining amount for installation and plates (I can add plates later on gradually). It would be even better if i had a 10 kwh battery to make grid reliance minimal but I don't think that would be feasible in my budget (I'd be happy if I can).

5. Do suggest me exact models of inverter, battery and plates etc. I have done my due diligence but would love your expert opinions.

Lastly, feel free to DM, of you want to ask anything

I got one vendor who is asking for 150k net metering for old policy 26 Rs. I'm from lahore. I need confirmation is this thing valid or not?

2. Dyness

Assalamo Alaikum
I live in a women-only household with my mother and two younger sisters,
We have saved up money (5.5 lakh for now) to get solar installed.

We know mothing about solar installations, which ones are the best or really anything… so if soleone can guide that would be really helpful…

Also could u ans these qs

1. Which solar panels and batteries to get here in rawalpindi..
2. Or since our budget is low we shouldnt install batteries only panels ? Would that be a

ny

1. good decision?

Tell me LITERALLY anything that we should know

Just want to ask the question about the effect of high temperatures on battery life. I've got a 16kwh battery and the whole system is installed in my mumty. It just has a big window for ventilation and besides that nothing. Most of the time the temperature is really hot up there and today I touched the outer casing of the battery. It was quite hot to touch. Would this affect the longevity of my battery? If so, what should I do to lower its temperature down? Please let me know.

Is this quotation good for a 8kW hybrid solution?

Some questions

- I am planning on buying more batteries in the future, aiming to have a 15kW battery system by the end of this year

- Based on this requirement, should I be investing in a larger inverter?

- Is 610 watt panels fine or should I go for 645 ones?

I'm looking for solar panels for my 6kw setup with 8KW max PV

i found 3 main products

Longi Himo x10 640W
Aiko Stellar 3n+72 665W
Aiko Stellar 2n+78 775W

Which is overall best i need reviews about them and should i go for bigger wattage Aiko panels (space is not an issue), or should i go for latest Aiko 3N generation panel or should i stick with longi as i heard about it mostly

For example I turn on 1.5 Ton AC + 1 Ton AC = 2.5 Kwh total load. On automatic settings, the Solar contributes 2.3 Kwh, the rest 0.2 Kwh is contributed by wapda.

Similarly any given time, except peak hours (10-2), i have observed 0.15-0.2 Kwh buffer provided by Wapda.

I don't have batteries attached. The inverter is a Kwh system. I have 8 panels.

I already have a green meter with an on-grid Canadian inverter. But due to WAPDA’s sheer negligence, my green meter hasn’t been working for the last 4 months only two phases are functional and they’re refusing to fix it.

So I’m planning to install a SAJ 6KW inverter as a backup, paired with a Pytes battery. Has anyone gone this route? Should I stick with the SAJ + Pytes combo or go with something different?

Hello my budget is 200k pkr! I want to buy 6kw hybrid inverter and want to prefer ip65/66 series. So according to this which is best and have good customer care in Faisalabad?

Hi, I have inverex veryon 2 premium and it needs i.solar app for monitor the data but it doesn't have all the parameters like how much total i consumed or how much I've generated, is there any better app or a way to tap into that data stream to monitor inhouse? I've tried to Wireshark it and the data is encrypted, since it was obviously a Chinese rebrand so i expected it to be easier, i was thinking of poisoning the DNS but not sure its possible.

So is there a way I cap pair different app that have more data or even better if i can somehow put esp32 or any microchip in between to monitor inhouse as well?

Thanks

I have an 8kW solis inverter paired with nerada battery.

Battery: Nerada 48NPFC100

Inverter: S6-EH1P8K-L-PRO

The issue is that the battery doesn’t connect/show up on solis app. Even when it does connect the battery fails to show current charge/discharge. Have tried to use the Ethernet cable, That dont work too

Secondly, for heavy load when around evening time the solar production is low and AC is on, the AC instead of taking excess energy from wapda starts taking it from the battery. Due to this issue I have to go manually turn off the battery.

I have contacted several technicians and up till now, no one has been able to fix it.

If some know any good solar technician in Lahore kindly share their info with me to help a brother out.

I'm planning to install the Hybrid solar. Solis 8 kw + Dyness battery 5kw. Should I install the net billing on new rate 11Rs/ unit as well to reduce my bill to zero?

On Average my bill is around 500-600 units if I uses one AC.
