I need help and advice on solar energy. What should I know before the installation as a homeowner?

I would like advice from solar energy experts on this platform and homeowners who use solar panels. Specifically, I need guidance on whether to choose monocrystalline or polycrystalline panels. Additionally, I need advice on whether to use standard or lithium batteries and the reasons why one might be better than the other. My location is in Ibeju/Lekki, and I want a system that will last longer. My target is to install a 7.5kVA system.

I would appreciate advice from solar energy experts on this platform and homeowners who use solar panels. Specifically, I need guidance on the following:

Type of Panels: Should I choose monocrystalline or polycrystalline panels? Which type would be better for my needs in Ibeju/Lekki?

Type of Batteries: Should I opt for standard or lithium batteries? What are the advantages of one over the other?

Brands: What are the best brands for batteries, solar panels, and inverters?

My goal is to install a 5.5KVA OR 7.5kVA system that will last longer. Thank you for your advice.

My short advice:
1.
Use monocrystaline (It's more efficient I.e produces more power per square foot than Poly)
2. Lithium batteries are relatively better but pricier than other types of battery.( DoD, Dept of Discharge is like 80% better than other forms. It last longer and has better warranty)
3. Brands like Bluecarbon, Felicity, Cloud are still reliable and does have better after sales service.

It's just my token of advice Sir.

If you can't help just don't say anything.
