Small update for those thinking to go with Solar power:
Alhamdulillah, got my Solar system installed finally!
Best purchase i've made in my life!
Now for the particulars:
- 10 320W panels [Jinko Solar]
- 5KW Infini V hybrid inverter
- 4 200ah dry batteries
The setup is running my entire house without breaking a sweat:
- 2 Fridges
- 6 Fans
- 6+ lights
- Water pump / washing machine / TV, etc etc
- Has extra capacity to run an A/C too.
- In daytime, my house runs entirely on Solar (KE meter stands still lol) and extra electricity production charges the batteries.
- As sunlight goes down, the inverter intelligently manages load b/w Solar and KElectric (or Battery when loadshedding occurs), so if load is 1000w and solar production is 600w, 400w is taken from grid/battery
- At night, inverter switches load to KElectric, bypassing the battery to conserve battery charge for when loadshedding happens. When loadshedding occurs, the inverter instantaneously switches to battery...you can't even tell that the light has gone out - it's amazing!
- Yes, I can run everything on battery power too. Runtime is 7 Hours for 1000w load (60% battery capacity consumed).
For those looking to install, I used the services of Scope Engineering Services and i'd highly recommend them: SCOPE Engineering Services - Home | Facebook
They are experts and will design the system according to your needs - you can refer to my setup if you'd like. They're also installing solar systems for Bahria Town, Karachi so they're legit good.
