Key findings

  • CriticalBattery voltage doesn't match the inverter

    The inverter runs at 48 V; the quoted battery is 24 V.

    Ask for: A battery with a voltage that suits the inverter.

  • ImportantBattery type and compatibility

    The quote doesn't say whether the battery is lithium, or that it's compatible with the inverter.

    Ask for: Confirm a battery compatible with the inverter, in writing in the quote.

  • ImportantWarranties

    No warranty is stated in the quote.

    Ask for: Warranty length and terms for the inverter, battery and panels, and any installation warranty.

  • To confirmMounting structure

    Only “metal structure” is stated.

    Ask for: Steel or aluminium, corrosion protection, and rated wind speed.

Other notes

  • Grid connection isn't mentioned: through an export limiter, or an official connection with the electricity company?

An independent engineering opinion based only on the quotation provided, without a site visit. Anything the quote leaves out is marked “missing”, not “weak”. The report is not a guarantee of system or supplier performance. AKIEED sells no equipment and takes no commission from any supplier.

Questions for the supplier

Copy and send them as they are:

  1. The battery is 24 V and the inverter 48 V. Can you change it to a battery that suits the inverter and send the new price?
  2. Is the battery lithium? Please confirm in the quote that it's compatible with the inverter.
  3. What's the warranty on the inverter, battery and panels, and its terms? Is the installation covered?
  4. Could you send the datasheets for the inverter, battery and panels?

Quote validity: 7 days from the quote date. Send your questions to the supplier early.
