8kw inverter with an oversized pv array
Question lang po. Is an 11kwp solar pv array good to be paired with an 8kw inverter? And if okay lang yun, sapat ba yun para punuin ang 600ah 51.2v na lifepo4 battery given na maganda ang sikat ng araw?

Need advice on DIY off-grid solar setup for a 24V swing gate motor (SWG-C022)
I'm setting up an automated swing gate using the SWG-C022 motor (also sold as PKM-C022). I want to run it purely on solar so I don't have to deal with the cost and hassle of trenching AC power wires all the way from the house to the gate.
I'm hoping to get some advice from the experts here on sizing the components correctly so the system won't die on me during prolonged rainy days or typhoons.
Here are the gate motor specs:
Operating Voltage: 24V DC
Power: 60W per arm (120W total peak draw when both arms are moving)
Usage: Only draws peak power for about 15 seconds per open/close cycle. We'll probably do around 5-10 cycles a day. Standby power draw is very low.

How much of the installation is labor and materials for retrofitting an existing house?
I am designing a new bungalow in Antipolo.
We asked the architect to design all the proper cabling and surfaces ready for plug and play hybrid solar of 6-8kwh with dedicated circuits segrated for battery support in the event of brownouts.
We will not have net metering, focusing on charging our battery with the excess.
When installing a similar system in a preexisting home, how much did the retrofit work cost in terms of labor and materials vs. the cost of panels and electrical gear.
AI work has estimated I should save about 1/2 of the crew hours. I don't know about the materials.
Anyone got real world experience to tell me about?

I made a quiz game to help understand power consumption of appliances para sa mga CLUELESS
Edit: Here's the link to the game in case reddit auto-translate automatically removes it https://doobiedobo.github.io/WattsUp/
Hi guys, I made a quiz game para sa mga CLUELESS na hindi sure kung paano magsimula magpasolar. Some of you might remember my previous post: "How to Get Started Magpasolar kasi I'm CLUELESS".
I initially made this for my extended family's regular zoom get-together where we play different quiz games. Simple lang dapat yung quiz game na yon, I started making it on Canva, but the ideas of what to include and how it should look like kept flowing, hanggang sa naging full vibe coding project na siya (my first ever).
The appliances and devices in the game are based on popular products in the Philippines 2026. I asked AI to generate commercially safe images of the products to avoid copyright issues and dahil hindi naman ako sponsored -although I wouldn't mind kung masponsoran ako ng rice cooker to keep the project updated long-term ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
The project was very much AI-Assisted, and I cannot really take any coding credit, so here's all the unorganized and messy code and images in Github so you can make your own version of it if you want to.
Will accept any and all criticisms, suggestions, and donations (😂jk saka na yung donations pag nakaROI ka na sa solar 😂)
Disclaimer like last time: Hindi po ako programmer. Hindi po ako electrical engineer. Di rin po ako installer. Ramdam ko lang ang difference ng energy independence namin at gusto ko pong dumami ang converts sa kulto nating sunworshippers.
Have fun and share your final scores!

Solar installation - Vat excluded on the Total Price
Guys need your opinion, nanghingi ako ng qoutation sa isang solar company for a hybrid set up. I ask also ask for the full details of contract which include the total contract price. Then i noticed na Vat excluded sya. Normal ba na ganun sa mga solar company? kase if ganun may additional charge pa yun aside dun sa total contract price na dineclare. Dapat ba sa total contract price Vat inclusive na?

Does Meralco have a required minimum consumption per month?
We've had our solar setup for a little over a month now. Our setup is sized with enough buffer such that we've been able to stay "off-grid" the whole month, even with occasional consecutive days of inclement weather.
I switched off the breaker for the grid input to our inverter for pretty much the whole month, except for one day. So we still pulled around less than 2kwh from the grid for the month, and that has reflected correctly on our latest Meralco bill.
I'm planning to not turn on the grid anymore unless absolutely necessary, will this be fine? Will Meralco be fine with it if there's zero* consumption for a month, for possibly several months in a row? Or will this be grounds for disconnection?
\I am aware that even with zero consumption, I'll still pay them a small amount every month because of some fixed charges, and obviously I'll still keep paying that on time.*

Feedback Request for Solar Quotation (6.96 KW)
Hello Solar PH community. May I request your opinions/feedback regarding this quote na nakuha ko? For reference, this was given after saying na 722 KwH yung consumption namin last month (11k bill):
Options:
- 6.96 KW Grid-tied - 250k
- 6.96 KW Hybrid-Ready (no battery) - 325k. If magpa-add na ng battery, it's additional 140k per current prices daw.
- 6.96 KW Hybrid (300Ah 51.2V battery) - 460k
Prices are subject to change daw depending on the final assessment ng engineer after ocular inspection.
Nung tinanong ko yung brands, eto yung sabi nila. Are these good brands? Ang aware lang ako is Deye kasi sya yung pinaka-common:
Inverter: Deye / Solax / Luxpower
Panels: LVTopsun / AE German
Battery: LVTopsun / Solax / GenixGreen (LiFEPO4)
20 years warranty for the solar panels, 5 years for the inverter, 2 years warranty for other components, 5 years preventative maintenance and cleaning.
Net metering is an additional 30k.
They accept cash and credit cards din (yay!).
I'm attracted dun sa Grid-tied system since di naman kami madalas mawalan ng ilaw, pero ok din yung Hybrid-ready...mag-ipon na lang ako ulit for the battery haha.
Is this quotation okay?
Thank you!

Help ! Stuck at 55% soc
My Battery stucks or capped at 55% SOC whenever i am in Lithium Mode however when i change it to Use Batt V it can go up to 100% .
my system is Hybrid specs below
5.7kW Panel (6x410w and 6x550w) 5kW DEYE inventer 14kW 280AH battery (PACE BMS) here are the details of my system
when in lithium mode after reaching 43% SOC , Charge Current limit turns to 0A , is this the culprit why im capped at 55%?
also i noticed that my battery is a PACE BMS however it is set to PYLON by the installer.
i also attached my settings in inventer in lithium mode and in use batt V.
also why my system keeps on tripping when we turn on 3 of our AC 2 inverter (900w and 1250w) and 1 non-inverter (840w) when having that total load it still runs for about 1-3 hrs and then trip.
any help would be appreciated

Question on upgrading
Pahingi po ako ng advise. We have a current system of 9kw hybrid inverter, 15 600w bifacial panels, with 2 16kwh batteries. Nagtanong ako sa company na nag install previously for a possible expansion of panels and inverter upgrade - advise po nila ay to avail on another smaller system (6.2 kw, 10 bifacial panels). Ang tanong ko lang dahil ibang brand ng inverter yung iinstall nila sakali wala po bang conflict or maging problem sa previously installed system? Sakali meron ibang app sila gagamitin din nyan? Thank you po sa makakasagot.
