If I may ask sir, what type of inverter is that?
The dynamic dollar rate may still get you on the way, if you're not also buying other items on time Lol.

It's a Solar inverter (not hybrid tho)

AinsSama:
Current load is 1.5HP AC - the power saving type, 240W Gaming Laptop, 100W 50" TV, over 20 15-30W light bulbs, water heater.
Additional TVs may be added in the near future, at least 2 DC standing fans, and possibility to add, 1 or 2 more ACs. Electricity is fine for now but certainly not sufficient hence the few batteries and poor but cheaper battery choice

Load will increase drastically by next year by 100%. It's more of a futuristic planning with limited budget for now.

Current battery totals about 10kwhr. It's a temporary solution b4 an upgrade to LiFePo4 pack hopefully. Already saved your contact for that purpose.

What are the specs of the charge controller and also the name/maker?

You will see the specs on the container or inside the manual.

Seen it and updated

Why do you ask?

isangjohnson:
Sir, I advice you take your time and plan well by consulting widely. Solar is not about throwing money about but rather making every money you spend count.
If you're not on budget and you intend to enjoy energy independent, then plan for 10kw inverter, over 3m 28kwh Lfp battery, huge pv and other accessories.
But if you're on budget as electricity is good in your area, 14kwh Lfp battery, 5kw inverter, about 4kw pv and accessories will solve the listed problem only if you can have a handle on your inductive loads and other loads adjustment.
You may do proper audit by designing your loads... Give time for individual loads to turn on and off.
My newbie advice..... Cheer

Already got the 10kva cos prices keep going up. Was advised to get it now before things really get out of hand

Maker is Sunfield. Same manufacturer as the panels.

earthrealm:
your plan is serious flawed, only 4 batteries on a 10kva non hybrid inverter?... the no load consumption of the inverter alone will run down 2 batteries in a day...so technically what you have is just 2 batts?....n this ur upgrade plane...being leadacid batt u went and bought...so u now intend to be adding batteries to the 4 batteries u have already-- another fatal flaw...

if you have big loads, you shud hv a corresponding deep budget to go with it, if not...it will end in disaster. 16 batteries is the minimum you shud have if you are going for 10kva inverter....if not just get a 2kva or 3kva 48v inverter simple. alternatively you shud hv bought a lithium pack, say 14 to 20kwh, then when funds come..you can add another.

lastly, how did u arrive at the conclusion that you need a 10kva inverter

Hello house. So I got interested in getting a high wattage solar inverter due to my future needs/load - a 10kva 48V one. I don't want to buy anything less due to the natural tendency to keep upgrading. Current budget will be able to make that possible along with a maximum of 4 350W panels and 4 12V 250Ah deep cycle gel batteries (already got the panels, batteries and inverter) along with a 100A MPPT charge controller. Couldn't afford the lithium ones for now.

Problem is I don't know the voltage of the panels so I'm confused on what arrangement to go with for a start. Series or parallel? Especially knowing I'll be adding to those panels with time. From what I've read so far on the thread, I deduced the batteries should be connected in series to get that 48V.

PS: I'm not DIYing, but hiring some engineers who have just a little bit of experience in solar installations. Hence the questions.
