Probably old models.
But these are huge..

1hp is not 745w in real life oo
0.5hp is doing 792w i.e 66A at 12v.
True, my 1HP AC power fluctuates between 250w to 1100w depending on set temperature, mode, or ambient temperature. But I notice it is an average of 400w most of the time. LG Dual Inverter did a wonderful energy saving AC here.

1100w for a 1 HP AC? And an inverter AC? How?

True old models. So newer models consume less?

my batteries all 100% filled today despite the heavy down pour. As at 9:45am, was reading 1-watt from one of my setUps but at the moment, all filled up. We don conquer today. Better days ahead though redundancy at standBy

Please, I need a recommendations on the type of 3.2-3.5kva inverter to buy? I almost buy a smarten inverter 3.2kva but on researching I learnt it can work with lithium battery......I want to use 2 tubular batteries for now but will later upgrade to lithium battery as there is no funds for now?...
Please it urgent before I spend the money
Cworth 4kva hybrid has been working well where I installed them.

Redundancy is not free or cheap. Ordinary solar is stressful, talk more of redundancy.

May be an efficient device of true 1hp will be 745w. Probably not in this country bc an energy efficient device required advance technology.

Till now no 0.5hp Ac that I know.

what's your battery capacity?

Don't forget, not every One's battery bank started from 0% today or have similar power draw

The SIMPLE trick there is
1. overSize your solar panels
2. Optimize your loads and usage

without stating your maximum budget, we just might end up just wasting our time

Please, who have any reviews on must inverters?

Avoid them. For instance, their 80A rated ones could struggle on 60A with the Cooling Fan blowing nonStop.

mayBe tell us your budget so we know where to steer you. Also if you must buy them, ensure you buy like 80A or 100A when you need 60A

Now itemize these appliances with their watt ratings and also how often you intends running them
e.g

Pumping machine should be run during the day under healthy sunLight.

We need know if your TV is LED, or LCD, or plasMa, or etc and it's wattage.

Also your pumping machine, is it 0.5 or 0.75, or 1Hp or higher and how many hours it gets used per run.

Same with your washing machines.

of course these likely ain't all your loads. Probably those you think matters more.

Then don't forget reminding us your max budget and what solar things (if any) you currently own

Person wey go use the phrase (to be used anytime I want to wash) need get enough funds for battery else jejely just run am for day time

Same with your Freezer, Run between the hours of 9am to 4pm and switch it off and tell your houseHold to reduce how they open it so it doesn't defrost anyHow

Also your pumping machine should only be run during the Day.

This your "Budget is like 1.2M" na something else in today's economy BUT make we see wetin we fit cook out of am
