Hi all,
So I'm new to solar panels and the equipment that goes with them. I would like some advice please. I have been given a quote on a solar setup and the products they provide with this. Here is what they have suggested:
solar panel 250w x 4
Inverter 1500va Hybrid Schnerider
Luminous Tubular Battery 200ah x 2
combiner box
With those solar panels that would give me 1000w x 5 hours a day = 5000w/5 kWH which i believe would be enough to run a 80-100w fridge right?
The inverter with a given price of ~ £190 , seems a lot, more than what i wanted to spend. Having looked on a website its recommended for that amount of solar wattage but for a 24v system but i'm still debating whether to go 24 volts. I could go the same make inverter but 850w which supports a 12v system but it is only recommended for 850w solar panels. So my question is, is this a good choice, do i really need to spend this much on an inverter?
Also i just looked at the specifics, the recommended battery types for these inverters are tubular, flat plate, gel/VRLA

The other issue is the batteries he has suggested. About £210 each. They are heavy, flooded and very large. i think produced in India. I presume because these batteries are suited to the inverter.

Whats everyones advice on these, a good choice? I would prefer to go with lithium ion if i can get hold of them here.
NOTE: i live in Indonesia. Its hot & humid with sometime severe thunderstorms
