All inverters I have for personal use in recent times are PSW purchased from AliExpress. And yes, they all have low no-load consumption. There is this particular brand from a seller where I have purchased 4 units (3 units 4000w peak and 1 unit 1000w peak). Delivery is usually in 2 weeks with UPS shipping.

One of the 4000w peak failed after the third day apparently because the yeye man did all sorts of experimenting with and abusing the inverter - against technical advice - including placing a pressing iron on it. I complained to the seller (I avoided the abuse part) and he offered to send a replacement at half the price, since I complained it would be impossible to ship the faulty one back to him.

One of the 4000w have been in operation for 1 year, 1000w in operation for 10 months and the latest 4000w has served for 1 month.


Please can you share the link to or picture of the 4000w inverter? Do you run your refrigerator with it?

All the installs that use that 24v/4000w peak inverter (with the exception of the 1000w peak that is for only TV, fan, gotv and phone charging) all have deep freezers placed on it and sometimes simultaneously with washing machine when the sun is high up. One has 200w deep freezer, 80watts deep freezer and 65watts refrigerator on it simultaneously and occasionally 800 watts photocopier machine is added when printing job is to be done.

The dude that spoilt his own with presumably pressing iron initially did fine with 700watts pumping machine on his own (that guy still vexes me till today because I had to pay for the replacement from my pocket). He still spoilt my 500w I loaned him as stop gap while awaiting a replacement inverter. Up till today he didn't even bother to ask how I was able to get a replacement. I'll be waiting for him when he needs maintenance to be done on his system. That is when he will see the other side of me. Mind you, I'm not into installation business so my job for him was pro bono, as per street neighbour. I only asked that he pay the installer that climbed the roof. Having a reputation to protect was the reason I decided to get him the replacement. I don't want anybody telling street people that I got him defective items.

Suffice to say that there is this other brand of 12v/2000w peak inverter from another AliExpress seller that has been faithful for two years. I couldn't get that same inverter again, that was why I settled for the new types of 24v/4000w peak from another seller.

The highest I paid for duty charges is 4k+ naira for the 4000w peak inverter. The 1000w peak was duty free, I think.

Will you be Top balancing the cells in parallel before you assemble them? I would advise you do so.
Just finished a similar build with EVE cells 24v 280AH and overkill BMS
It was an experimental build/ DYI hands on for a quick replacement of dead lead acid batteries.
Was almost going for the Felicity lithium that has been heavily advertised here but thought otherwise as the reviews was not so favorable.
In hindsight, the 24v 280AH build cost about 620k
(could have been far less if I had opted for the 3 months sea shipment as against 3 weeks air freight and also choice of BMS) as against 450k for the 24v 200AH( ) Felicity lithium battery

This problem already arose on my last transaction with the seller. I complained to him and he suggested a way out. He provided a link in his store where you can pay for 1usd items. So you can select as many items as possible to make up to 100 USD per card. By the time I'd made payments in two batches of 100usd each, it now remained around 81usd to balance. He then asked me to click "pay for item" on the inverter but that i should not pay so that it goes to the "unpaid" folder on my profile. He then arranged a limited time to reduce (alter) the price of the item while it was in my "unpaid" folder to reflect the remaining balance. In less than one hour of him reducing the price, I paid otherwise once the limited duration elapses the price goes back up and the price adjustment arrangement will have to be repeated again.

To keep to this limited time, you have to constantly check on the price item in the "unpaid" folder and also the AliExpress chat messages inbox between you and the seller to know when he/she informs you when he effects the price adjustment.

It actually says there: 4 pieces per lot. That's a batch of four pieces of 280ah at 201 thousand naira. And it says the shipping to Nigeria is Free shipping.

In fact, I have already added it to my cart. I'll read reviews and check out the seller's history and ratings later.

That is a cheap deal compared to 200 thousand naira for 100ah of 4 cells that we get it from our guys that are resellers/assemblers in Nigeria.

Which brings about that 201 thousand naira question: Is it grade A cells? That offer is mouth watering I must confess, but omo, except AE can arbitrate for me to get refunded my full money in the event I file dispute of being sent non grade A cells will I comfortably take that offer.

Thanks for this. I have always wondered what else could serve as a cheaper and readily available alternative.



Bro I won't lie o. In an installation I did for personal use, after the second trip up the ladder with a 330w panel, I was panting and a little exhausted. My own weight is a couple of kg above twice the weight of the 450w. grin

I have decided that in any other personal installs going forward, I will hire the services of professional climbers and probably heavyset type that will do that wahala of carrying it to the roof.

is there an efficient way of getting the panels to the roof?

Yes, all without inbuilt charger. I believe that's one of the reasons for the low no load consumption. I believe the rule is the more the in-built add on circuitry, the more the idle comsumption.

I may have to get one of this too as a backup.

Backups are really important, a hybrid felicity's CC part failed and it has been sent back to them for over 3 months now without any hope of getting it back anytime soon.
