I checked Veyron 2.2kw manual and it doesn’t have SUB mode, only SBU mode.

actually I was referring to 3.2 kw veyron, that's why i said it has sub mode
now you need 3.2 veyron for sub mode

[horticulturalist]

Veyron 3.2 is above 110K too 🤯. Too much increase in prices in just 1 year

dayem. That's a lot for a small setup.

got it.. but veyron 3.2 is also at 1 lac. Uh bad luck..

So nothing under 60k Rs. for ~2.5kw that can do SUB mode?

What alternative would you suggest ..?

In future I'd like to get a ~10kw net metered hybrid system but it's 2-3 years away and I know it'll cost quite a lot.

So, don't want to spend too much on my small setup right now.

At 77 Rs/watt, I calculated the cost for a 5kw system if I install it myself, comes 750k

Guys which solars panels are best? Longi or Canadian solar? I’m planning on getting a 10kw system soon. Would it be sufficient to run 4 inverter (T3) ACs + 1 fridge and 3 TVs ?

Also what’s a reliable solar inverter brand? I heard about Tesla brand, is it the true American brand or some Chinese knock off ?

Goal is to get the new 500watt panels which I believe are more space efficient as I have little space on the roof.

And what’s the average wait on installation these days ? I guess due to power crisis lately the wait times will be high for most solar installers?

System will be installed in Pindi

Buy a 5kw hybrid inverter now and add 5kw hybrid inverter later when you want to increase to 10kw

[mgalaxy3]

Buy a 5kw hybrid inverter now and add 5kw hybrid inverter later when you want to increase to 10kw

is it advisable to do it? I mean no drawbacks and 2 inverters work seamlessly?

if so what would be the best option in 5kw hybrid that can be combined with a 2nd one later.

Agar mein 10 kw ka net metering system lagaoon aur mere ghar ka regular use 5kw ka hai. To mera har month exported units import k muwable mein surplus hoon ge. Kya mein 3 months ya 6 months baad exported units k base pe IESCO se cash/bank transfer nikalwa sakta hoon as income?

See if your budget allows you to opt for a huwaei on grid inverter. It is backed by a 10 year company warranty.

I would recommend Longi or Trinasolar. Selecting a good installer is equally important. Good luck.

Edit : I wouldn't recommend a on grid inverter if you area suffers from high load shedding, hybrid is best in that scenario.

[Corollarules]

You can run both the inverters separately each in different phase or you can pair them up. From my experience keeping them independent is better.
Other than nitrox and onyx all other hybrid inverters are from same manufacturer with different brand names. So they are almost all the same.

I have a question:

Does parallel connection's amp increase function help an MPPT based inverter?

If I have 4x200watt panels, each of 24-26v, I can't connect these 4 in series as the voltage may get more than 102vDC (maximum allowed PV volts) and I worry about the inverter.

So, can I use these 4 with 2 pairs in parallel and then the pairs connected in series with the inverter?

[capsat]

base pe IESCO se cash/bank transfer nikalwa sakta hoon as income?

in net metering power export, the exported units are adjustable in your peak off peak usage., only.

[capsat]

connect 2 panels into series make 1 array 26+26 = 52 (400 watts) & 26 +26 = 52 (400 watts)
connect both arrays in parallel making 1 string input to Inverter,

read this for better understanding

[AbbasJin]

Do you know a good online store that sells genuine stuff and where I can check prices? I wanna go with the new 535 watt panels and perhaps some top tier inverter like Tesla (if its genuine) or the Huawei one you mentioned.

Also would you know any good installers in pindi islamabad region? I see smart solar on youtube but i've heard complaints about them on some groups saying they took advance money and tehn didn't deliver for months.

[AkbarGr8]

Hire Mr Habib @AbbasJin if he manages your project personally, very competent person. Link below:

Check out the solar series by syed owais ali in isb (Habib did his installation - huge thanks to owais for creating this series and motivating me to go solar)

I have net metering but I have never adjusted the amount. In summers my bill gets negative but in winters it offsets. But according to my solar installation company, if amount gets very high in negative, you can ask for money. There must be a procedure. You can check with approved net metering solar installation companies.

My friend have 2.5k inverx veyron inverter with 1440watt solar input capacity. It is currently being in use as UPS without solar panels. Now we are planning to install 540 watts of panels. Is it possible to install 3 panels in parallel and 4th panel for battery charging with separate charge controller?
And are the inverx solar panels good choice? Because in Faisalabad we are unable to find Longi panels. The price i got was 40k for 540 watt inverx panel.

Anyone the actual OEM behind Inverex Nitrox inverters?

it's deye
like nitrox is this one

[capsat]

if you are getting a Made in China Product with local warranty & aftersales support i'd suggest don't dig deep simply buy from dealership or the brand partner in your area. @mrdeejay

there are over 218 manufacturers of Inverters and alternate energy supporting equipment at this website. The matter of fact remains there are categories of product standard for every region. under same brand identical specs with highly variable price.
