Contact Valto. He will hook you up with a 5kw battery. I bought 8 pieces of his 17kw battery for my commercial system.
I'll reach out to him and make enquiries . I appreciate.

I think you stated earlier that you are upgrading to a 48v system, so I believe only cworth (from those you mentioned) have a 48v 5kw battery. I'd have said to save money that you go for Haisic 4kw or 8kw @ 450k and 900k respectively, but none of those batteries come in 48v.

We should have mentioned earlier that the fact you are designing your system in 48v does mean their will be less stress on your inverter when those big loads come, nice decision.
Thanks so much. You have been so helpful. Maybe I'm an overthinker but I'm not one to allow installers make decisions for me , I try to do my research and ask questions to the best of my ability. Thank you

Recommendation needed.

For big house with plenty rooms, no inductive loads of AC, heaters or pumps,.... Only fridges and freezers plus other stuffs that all in all won't pass 4kwh use...

What inverter you advice me to use between these?

Sako 11kw, Gospower 12kw, Cworth 12kw - all high frequency
Or felicity IVPM 10kva transformer based.

Need quality assurance for many years usage.

Help me with suggestion pls.
I would parallel two Growatt 5000ES.

If you are going for this, no let am pass srne or Growatt ooooo... I for add uncle deye and sister Tbb power but the budget be somehow ... If not jejely go buy your LF inverter ooo... Or get fireman the hybrid transformer own... Enjoy ✌️

Collione:
I really appreciate this feedback. I guess I'll stop overthinking it and get a HF inverter
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Haykay2001: 1:02pm On Jul 10, 2025
Oh.. Did not even see this before making my above comment.. Kindly enjoy ✌️

Collione:
At this point I'll pick the felicity the installer quoted since it's popular and within my budget. When it comes to 5kwh batteries which is preferable. Fireman, cworth or felicity. I heard some negative reviews about felicity brand but I want to be sure

Final Setup

6kw Deye Offgrid
14kW Panels (3x605w JA Solar, 12x440w Jinko, 10x500w Cworth)
Victron 150/70 Charge controller
26.5kw Deriy Lithium and Cworth Lithium in Parallel with Busbar
Victron Smart shunt 300A
Junktek 100A shunt
Raspberry Pi 5 (running Solar Assistant)
Orange Pi 3 (running Solar Assistant)
Windows NUC (running Home Assistant)
Starlink for home internet
GLi.net router

Programmed Home Assistant using YAML for various automation, and created sensors from mqtt stream from SA. Influxdb for database. It also shows live individual power consumption of each devices in the house through smart plugs HA integration and custom auto-entites.

Since we going all in on renewable energy, gas hobs were replaced with ‘real’ induction cooker (max 3000w on highest settings with all 4 burners on, enamel cast iron pots).

Average daily load 30kW (Home Assistant programmed to do load management automatically, with pv forecast, so 3 AC, Induction hob, water heater, microwave , airfryer etc, every device is connected and will never exceed the 6000W rating of the inverter)

100 percent off grid, ie Island mode, no physical connection to grid. The wife is happy, I’m happy.

If you need any guidance on home assistant coding for your set up, you can private message me.
Bro where did you get your Deye Inverter and how much did you get it
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by easyyoke: 1:08pm On Jul 10, 2025
Any Deye Inverter seller in the house?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Haykay2001: 2:01pm On Jul 10, 2025
Make sense.. Or he should look for the 6kva own x2 although its scarce now sah and the ones who hv them are selling it high.. Advantage of 4mmpt input..

cworth is very good I just installed it and I must say I'm enjoying it so nay sayers are wrong
Cworth inverters give me value for money, and their after sales support is remarkable.

Used it for single and three phase installations, and once one developed a problem they replaced it with a brand new one.

Lol.... Not sure if it is a bug from JK, but that was how my own started, now by evening it will just go to 0% even though I am sure the bank still has power, so I generally just ignore it.

The only other suspicion I have for its cause is that I know that one of the cells inside is failing, maybe that is what mine is reacting to, but na em know.
What brand is this, and how long has it been in service?

Please I need real users of regular energy efficient microwave and air fryer.
Recommendations pls.
Energy efficient and Airfryer/Microwave does not really go together in thesame sentence. I use Hisense 6Ltr. Airfryer. Consumption is between 1200 and 1500W. The surge startup power can go as high as 2400W but the regular power draw is 1200-1500W. As for Microwave, you can do the small 700W 20liter versions but unfortunately they take time to heat up your food plus you may not see the inverter version(the ones that start up without a surge). And in 2025, if you are buying any electronics, once there is an inverter version of it, it is better you go for the inverter version. LG has many inverter microwave but their power consumption is still between 1100W and 2000W depending on the Liter you buy.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by easyyoke: 12:41am On Jul 11, 2025
HeavenlyBang:
No. Microwaves and air fryers have no surge.

Ultimately larger air fryers will have higher power draw, since their heating elements will also be larger. I have a 4L one that only pulls about 1.35kw.
Airfryers surge sir. My Hisense starts with 2400W then drops to 1200/1300/1400W. Thesame thing with Non-inverter microwaves. THEY SURGE ooooooo

You said No AC, no Heat Pumps, just Fridge Freezer and other regular appliances that wont pass 4KW… So why are you looking at 11KW and 12KW inverters. Have you heard of something called idle power consumption of inverters before? The bigger your inverter, the higher the idle power consumption(meaning you will waste more of your battery). If your load is not more than 4KW, just buy Growatt SPF 5000ES from Fouani. If your load increases above 4000W in the future, you can buy a second SPF5000 as it allows you to do parallel connection

My airfryer don't surge. Just the usual heating element start and stop duration which varies based on set temperature. The higher the set temperature, the higher the frequency of heating element being on than off.
