We Nigerians praising inverters like Growatt, SRNE etc which are cheap and high frequency shows our shallowness in good solar applications..
Growatt in the west is meant for the poor who can't afford solid inverters and for 80% s they die on them after 18 months or 2 years.
Manufacturers of inverters make it clear to s not to use high frequency inverters for heavy loads. They are not meant for devices with inductive loads like fridge, freezer, pumps, AC. They are not meant for offgrid home applications when you know you'll use the loads. High frequency inverters (without transformers) are for light equipments like lightings, TV, phones, laptop, security cams etc. That's why they are Damn cheaper than low frequency ones. There components are not meant to handle heat for long.
But for us, we will use them with AC, pump, freezer etc and since it's working (of course it'll work), we claim they are the best. But they won't last on the long run.
A low frequency felicity inverter is multiple times better than your highest brand (Deye, Growatt, Tesla) high frequency inverter for offgrid use with heavy loads.
If you are going for offgrid, spend the extra money and get yourself a low frequency transformer based inverter. They are made to withstand heat, dust, heavy loads and harsh environments.
If you need inverter for your office, farm or home, for just light, laptop, TV, printer etc. No need to go for low frequency. Go then for high frequency inverters and save cost

Lies.. i have used one Single inverter for over 4 years.. High Frequency. 80% 
The so called low frequency Inverter died under 2 years too

Normally LF inverter are the most rugged everyone knows this. It's just that they cost more.
Besides maintenance wise, they are cheaper too

They buy a HF inverter from a rubbish brand, or grossly misuse it, then say HF inverters are cheap and unreliable when it inevitably fails.

High frequency inverters have come a long way, and you should know this if you have stayed current with RE knowledge.
Also you berating SRNE and then praising Felicity over Growatt is pretty revealing though.
This is one of the reasons people keep saying we should focus more on testimonies and real life experiences rather than ancient text book knowledge, oh well.

Not entirely true.....High Frequency inverter is the future. Have used both HF and LF inverters and I will pick HF anytime, anyday. HF can power anykind of load including inductive loads.

Today, the sun was so bright that the batteries had no choice than to hit 14.4/14.8v before CC disconnected charging. C.C resumes charging once battery drops to 13.2v.

I mentioned the use case where it's better. You purposely excluded that use case.

Chief you said many incorrect things and your long post would have been better served if you focused your argument at saying LF inverters are more reliable than HF inverters when it comes to consistently carrying bigger loads.
Instead you incorrectly inferred that the inverters brands that are usually recommended by most on this board (Deye, SRNE, Growatt) are meant for the poor and 80% die in less than 2 years, directly contradicting the years of testimonies this thread is built on. Or is their a survey you want to point to that confirms this fact that you claim?
Using this forum as a basis it is clear that people are well served using quality HF inverters brands and there have been plenty tales of transformer based inverters that weigh a mountain that are repeatedly repaired and give little value.
Your advice in this day and age is pretty inaccurate/archaic and has been rightly called out by the majority of contributors here.... its definitely not meant to be taken personal, as most people on here are new and come for advice, especially as they know very little about this world.

Against wood degrading pests, the wooden casings stand no chance.
From this month however, 12v 3.5kwh/4kwh buyers wll have the option to choose btw plastic and wooden case. 24v 7.1 - 8kwh buyers will also have the option to choose btw wooden and foreign metal case.

I am confused on what you call cheap.
Are you aware that I can get a 5kw inverter for as litlle as $250- $500 in China....so how is something that is double the price still called cheap?!
Using the car analogy again, the fact that Rolls Royce starts at $350k does that mean now if I am driving in a $60,000 Nissan I am cheap?
Is the idea not for it to get me to where I am? Or are you saying a Rolls Royce will not need any maintenance or breakdown because I bought it for $350k??
I really don't get the point of your original writeup....it's like someone from Felicity sent you on errand or something.

Do you think this should solve it?
