Inverter

Featured Replies

I recently bought 3x Lumo 5.12kwH batteries, but I am having trouble deciding on what inverter I should purchase, I have seen the usual Sunsynk, Deye, Luxpower and SRNE seems quite good. Any opinions on what would be a great all round inverter, im not sure if I should get a hybrid or grid-tied? This is to power my house. (i.e fridge, tv, maybe the geyser and a few lights)

Sunsynk or Deye, because there are lot of them in the field, so they are known and there are lots of installers/repair guys that are comfortable with them.

They are really the same thing, just with differences to the user interface.

Each will work as hybrid or grid-tied, though as I understand the term "grid-tied" and since you have batteries, I am wondering why you are contemplating that mode. Anyway, in either case you will be able to switch between those two modes of operation. 

Just make sure that the inverter you decide on is able to communicate with the batteries you already have.

You have 15kWh of battery, so get an 8kW inverter if you can stretch the budget that far. Most of the time you won't even be using 5kW, but 8kW gives you extra headroom, and that comes in handy when multiple appliances are in use at the same time.
