I can relate at the bolded. I appreciate peace of mind when I sold a bus I gave a driver to use for transport.
I try to put closure and move on quick. Life is complicated already.

Fail Fast. Fail Forward.

Congratulations sir. It's advisable to have another alternate source of power to complement the solar system and include it in the planning.
I wish I could advise on the wind turbine from personal experience but the guy that did my wind turbine couldn't get it to work even though it has been mounted.
Raining season would make solar charging very slow with the battery draining to very low level that won't make it last except you want to use phcn or generator to be complementing it.

Thanks gbadexy.. I intend using it for the first 2 years with generator as back up, before switching to local power. I never paint the house sef

By God's grace,I intend moving into my kobo kobo house in few weeks,as my rent will be due. But with the aim of going green with solar inverter, please advice on best to purchase.

Congratulations.

Consider a hybrid inverter. It’ll help you hook up solar panels, as well as a generator and/or NEPA. It’s the best of both worlds.

Good luck.

The charge controller on the turbine isn't charging although the turbine supplies voltage. I'm suspecting the technician didn't get the connection well. We both thought the three wires from the turbine was live, neutral and earth instead of three phase and he used a two wire cable with a kind of aluminum shield and he used that as the third connection.
I will get that sorted hopefully in the coming days if the turbine isn't damaged already.
My observation so far, wind system can't be used alone. The wind isn't constant. Although it would be charging all through at intervals. Some times fast, sometimes slow and other times not charging but overall charges would be supplied. It would also work during rain and at night.
My premise is based on the movement of the blade.
Solar too doesn't charge consistently too though. It rises and drops even on sunny days but the main thing is that the cumulative supply charges the battery fully.

Ready, kindly reply your chat.

Ok sir. Hopefully if my wind turbine works soonest before you get the solar system, I would give update on the challenge and benefit to help you make informed decision.
The solar/wind hybrid seems like a perfect match complementing each other and you may not need a generator or local power supply.
I'm banking on constant charging by both system to keep the battery usage above 50% at all times so I can get the 5 years out of the wet cell battery thus making it very cheap on the long run.

Just do a search on Jiji and set your location. It’s tough making recommendations right now.

Will they use battery to store energy? I’m more worried about battery life than the setup itself.

Yes sir. Battery should do well once it's not used below 50%.
Assuming sun shines non stop, then you may not change the battery for much longer than 5 years because you would just be using the power directly from the sun once the battery is full.
I'm hoping similar thing would play out with solar/wind system.
