Listers don't make that much noise. Besides, I can't use because of noise and spend more than 1million. It's not worth it, we live with noise everyday of our life's. Cars, horns, fan noise, ac noise, customers talking etc even neighbours running generators. Nah

inverter is far better than gen .. after buying gen you will buy fuel also servicing

My dear, with 2 a.cs and desktops, just go for a gen set.

Especially if you dont have constant power around you (which apparently is the case) because from time to time, your battery will need to be charged.

I know several people around me here who have solar panels/inverters that regularly run gen sets and that has been a deal breaker for me.

Solar/inverters are however good when you're in a place that has constant sunlight and constant power

To get an invert that will carry 2 inverter 1hp AC unit(regular AC will need even more batteries for inverter) , u will budget more that one million to 1.5m. It's better to go for a small diesel gen that can comfortably carry that load if your budget is not high, but if u can afford it, inverter especially with solar is a far better option. No maintenance or running cost once it's installed and it can serve more than 3 to 5years or even more if properly used(never exceeding its max output)

Hmmmm. For two AC, I will not advise inverter because it will require much more money. Get a Gen. Even the Gen you should be care for a 12kva for that price.

I doubt 3 million solar set up can power 2 acs.

Home solar setups are not made of power hug appliances like AC.

Inverter is the best but you have to pay the price of using AC by buying fuel.

25litres or diesel cost around 5k

Or can’t you leave Ac out of context and get fans instead. Diesel money fit bankrupt you

if like 10-20k can last a whole week using diesel, then it's the best for me, since I make more than 200k every week.

inverter that will power 2 air conditions am afraid NO. Cos any set up that will power 2 Ac's must have at least 2kwp. Setting up 2kwp with charge controller and cabling alone will gulp 500k then at least u need like 48vdc inverter which will require 4 batteries. Cheap good batteries alone will also gulp another 500k, then inverter machine itself will drain around 200k (pocket friendly one o), all these charges are excluding installation fee, small small miscellaneous o.

if going the inverter route, a 10kva inverter will power your acs effortlessly, with about 5kw panels, and a 400ah lithium battery bank, budget is around 3m. But at least 6yrs guaranteed
