My hybrid inverter charger is 4kw only. I get 5kw panel so I could get more power when the sunlight is less optimal.
With cloudy klang valley weather, I seldom get optimal power output so put 25% more panel lor.
for 3 phase, there are two ways to do it.
1) Use a single 10kw 3 phase hybrid inverter. costs like 14k.
2) Use 3 unit of single phase 5kw hybrid inverter, costs about 12k. The inverters are linked somehow and got software to sync up the phase. but you will need much more space to put the solar panels for the 3 inverters...
rm22k include 4 x 12v 150ah battery. I am using 48v system.
TNB rm450 per month, means one month you use about 1000kwh, one day you use 33.3kwh.
A 5kw system at perfect condition can offset 17.5kwh per day. Which means your monthly consumption will reduce to 474kwh.
At 474kwh TNB bill will be Rm166.78. You can save rm283.22 per month, in a perfect world.
It will take you 77.6 months to ROI the rm22k you spend. Which is 6.5 years.
BUT!!!
since you're using lead acid batteries, you need to change the battery on the 4th or 5th year so the ROI will be much longer.
PS: Lithium iron phosphate batteries, at 80% discharge rate, have a theoretical lifespan of 10 years.

Hihi yushin, I asked you some questions last year. Then I was occupied with work and had to put this project aside.
So I have some free time recently, and I'm going to start my hydroponics and solar pv projects soon. I'm thinking to start small and just power the led lights under the balcony, some outdoor lighting, and some small appliances in the room first.
1) I want to check with you about the battery. I saw from Lazada, a MSB ULTRA BATTERY 12V 100ah, it says 500 cycle life span. So, if I set DOD of 50%, meaning that it can last for around 1000 cycle?
2) Is there a setting on the controller that let me power the load directly during day time (only store excess power in battery), so the battery life span won't get shorten so fast?
Solar Panel -> Load, instead of Solar Panel -> Battery -> Load?
Thanks! =)
