Still suggests he goes 6mm at least. especially since he's got plans for upGrades soon. Cost difference between 4mm and 6mm cables no far.

As for suggesting Hybrid inverter, I leave it to @Trafford to decide based on all the plenty talks we don yarn for here.

He didn't state his location as I requested earlier, costs tend to differ based on location.

Also cost of workManship ought be stated. And with that, we need know if his house is a bungalow, or storeyed building and if a storeyed building, on what floor he lives on, and how many storeys. Thisnggs such as this dey follow determine cable length and thickness + workManShip
Location is in Uyo and it’s a one storey building. I live upstairs. I’m looking at hybrid so as to take away cost of charge controller

@Trafford yes with 2m you can do just fine. I live in a 3 bedroom flat and here's my set up;

24v 4.2kva Haisic hybrid Inverter 340k, even lesser on Jumia.
24v 8.2kwh lithium battery from Mr. Reed 920k
6 530w Jinko Panels @ roughly 600k ish

My loads are the typical stuff you can find in a home and I use all of them, not at the same time though. They include;

3tvs all 55 inches
Water heater
Washing machine
Microwave oven
0.75hp submersible
3 ACS including 1 1.5hp
2 freezers e.t.c

My 24v system serves me perfectly and with 2m you can achieve almost everything, but if you plan on bigger upgrades tomorrow, it's best to go all out for a 48v system.
Thank you. I will work with this and do the 48v as advised. I'm new to this solar work and want to get it right from onset

The price of the inverter and external CC will get you a 48v Growatt 6kw inverter that will carry those panels without stress
Okay thank you

how about getting an idea of battery costs from those in here among us who are in that line of business.

Also, that brand feliCity is an average brand. They all mustn't come from same brand.

You could just get the prices first, then compare them against what you getting elsewhere.

Also let them break down the prices for you so we know which actually is CHEAPer or not. Just saying 2.5m covers this and this and that ain't helpful.
(1) 5kwh lithium battery 1m

5pieces of 600w Jinko panel 100k ×10=500k

5kva 24v non hybrid inverter =480k

100ah MPPT Change controller=210k

6mm cable wire 3800 × 25m = 95k

AC breaker= 10k

DC breaker=12k

Breaker box = 8k

Panel rack =24k

Above is the quote I got. He is using felicity. I don’t intend to use light to charge it as I want to slowly leave grid as cost of band A is becoming unbearable. There is 5 TVs in the house one 42 LCD, and the rest are 42 led, and 65 led in the sitting room. I have inverter ACs and freezer but I don’t intend to use it with the package yet unless maybe during the day or when I have upgraded. I still want to be using a bit of grid to mix up in the interim until full up is done with time. Yes next year is close but not early next year as it will later end. Just as you stated, fees and the likes definitely waiting as well. So i just want to get this to help reduce cost of grid, while I plan to phase it off completely.

Thanks for your input.

For battery I'd suggest you maybe read back a few pages or go on tiktok and search DIYWITHRAY, particularly his battery capacity test videos.

Most popular brands are notorious for malpractice in actual capacity. Please try and watch the videos. You'll understand what I am trying not to say 😂
Wow, so I should avoid felicity and cworth and the likes

Since u will be charging with grid for now, I would suggest u get sako,cworth or an advanced brand like deye 6kw 48v hybrid inverter and a 5kwh lithium battery like Sako, Deriy or reach out to valto if u would like to go diy route
Thank you. I have upgraded budget to 2.5m so as to include solar panel. I am being offered 5kva hybrid inverter and 5kwh battery. Both felicity, with 6 500w solar panel. Is that a good deal?

List the load u intend powering with the system to ease recommendations n experts input
Everything in the house, like TVs and blending machine, then also fan and lightings. No pumping machine and no AC for now until next year when I start upgrading
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Trafford(m): 9:12pm On Oct 25, 2025
Good evening house. I am quite new to this solar journey and I want to get a solar panel, inverter and battery. It is for a four bedroom apartment. I have plan to upgrade as time goes by, probably adding more solar panel and also battery( though I don’t want tabular battery) . I am on band A, and I don’t mind using Nepa along with it in the initial stage until I fully upgrade. Please what will you recommend for a budget of 2m. Thanks all
