I saw a lot worst regarding the messy side Lucky you to find these cheap prices. Here in Palawan, except the price of cdr king panels, everything is still either the same or more expensive! Still not affordable for most... and I expect the prices to skyrocket with the new tax on fuels
I think you are right about to keep your job... but at least, if something goes wrong, you know you have a good option!
I am curious about you setup: could you tell us what appliances you use in daytime and at night... or the wattage?
If ever you do plan to upgrade, I think you can ask the sellers to ship it via couriers. It'll probably still be cheaper and the quality is Tier 1.
Pero believe ako sa PowerStar niyo since its still alive and its been years already. My offgrid inverter is just for backup and i don't expect to use it much.
Daytime
It hovers around 66W (when the ref's compressor is off and nobody is watching tv)
- Ubiquiti Outdoor Access Point ~15w (for my internet. Naka connect ako sa internet on my brother and parents house ko. 3 houses. 1 internet. fiber)
- D-link Router ~15w
- Wireless Doorbell ~15w
- vampire load of Ref ~15w
When somebody is watching TV and DC-Fan, its around 200w.
If they turn on the 2HP split aircon, it spikes to 1400-1800w. (ouch)
Nighttime
200w - 400w from 6pm - 12mn
TV, DC Fan, Lights
250w 12mn to 7am
DC Fan, 1HP Kolin Inverter Window Type Aircon.
my GTIL turns on at 12mn to take on this load.
I have measured this and my consumption at night with aircon is around 1.6kwh so the batteries with GTIL takes care of it.
*if the room is at 25C the consumption of the inverter aircon is only 200w or less.
