Let’s break this down together.
One common question I get from clients is: “What size inverter should I install?”
And truthfully, many people are unsure, not just about the inverter size, but also about the type of battery to use.
Should you go for tubular batteries, dry cells, or lithium-ion?
The answer always starts with one thing: your load.
Your power needs, the appliances you want to run will determine the inverter capacity and battery size.
For example, if you’re looking to power:
* A television
* A decoder
* One energy-efficient fridge
* Two ceiling fans
* A few energy-saving bulbs
What Size of Inverter Do I Need for My 3-Bedroom Flat?
Then a 3.5kVA/24V inverter, paired with 2 tubular batteries and 4 units of 450W monocrystalline solar panels, could serve you well.
Note: This setup isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.
If you plan to power more appliances, it’s best to speak with a professional who can properly assess your energy needs and recommend the right inverter capacity for your home.
Also, learn to manage your load, that’s how you extend the life of your inverter and battery.
And remember, you don’t need to break the bank before you start enjoying solar energy.
Start small, start smart, and grow from there
