Simply put.......
Inverter size = ok
Panels= barely acceptable
Batteries= inadequate, below standard

At best your batteries should never go beyond pushing out 520w continuously and the most efficient 1hp "inverter" ACs are around 500-650w in my limited experience. As for non-inverter ACs, I haven't really experienced them on an inverter yet but its safe to say you'll be asking your system to push out upwards of 750w and I've not even brought up the initial draw.


At best you may be able to get an hour or two on a sunny day where your panels do all the work, but without sun, your batteries by themselves would sag and suffer to deal with the stress of switching on the AC let alone running it by themselves.

In short, you should have gone with Lithium batteries if you had plans to carry this kind of heavy load.

You can buy 2 more of the same batteries if you want to improve your chances of starting up the AC but if possible I'd suggest returning them and just go and invest the money on proper lithium batteries.
Thank you for your response. I'll just buy 2 additional batteries and join to this one

What’s a proper lithium battery?

Sako you need to make the correct PIN outs and its RS485.
Native network cable does not work, even their follow come cable no work, unless you customize one.
Good day.
Please do you know of any good Installer on Lagos Island that can install Sako hibrid inverters and lithium batteries properly?

The many LIFEPO4 brands most people discuss on this thread, not power stations or any rubbish like that.

If I were the OP and had his budget, I'd have contacted mrreed for his 24v 7kw battery build as its proper use is equivalent to 6 of those tubular batteries he wants to buy and will definitely be far cheaper.

It is possible. Infact I currently use 2 of such similar setups. However ensure you switch off the breaker between the cc and the panels b4 making the switch using regular change over we use for typical switch BTW grid supply and power generator engine.
Pls I really need to learn this connection

Much better off selling those two you have and going lithium.

As the rains fall in torrents and your inverter stands the risk of being affected by lightening strikes, don't forget that we got you covered with our 3000w Pure Sinewave EASun inverter.

Firstly, we have the parts readily available and a dedicated technician for its repairs. We have successfully fixed over 20 units with Zero returns and with the repaired inverter carrying same load it used to carry!

Secondly, we have recently introduced a Swap Programme where you will get your damaged inverter swapped with a working inverter immediately. This will eliminate the downtime you would have suffer if you had to wait to get your inverter repaired. Terms and Conditions apply

Below video shows the load the inverter can carry and you can follow this thread to see reviews and video testimonials from customers

Thank you so much for this.

Is there any particular weco battery model that has the 8. dip switch?

So I can download the manual and look through it.

The Sako inverter has an option for weco. Though this particular battery unit comes from must
