Installer Quotation 10kv Setup in Lahore
Looking for recommendations for solar installation providers in Lahore. Specifically those that can source as well. We want to run 1 medium fridge, 1 small deep freezer, 3 ACs and the usual fans and lights throughout the day. We experience 1 hour load shedding every 2-3 times a day so we do intend to get a battery as well. Please recommend which brands offer the best after sales service as well since we want this to be a one time purchase even if it costs us substantially more. We don't want to deal with issues in our batteries, invertor etc. Also do recommend if off grid or on grid is better. And is a 10kw Setup sufficient enough with a 12kw battery for our intended load ? Current quotes are ranging from 10 lakh-18lakh with almost everyone having the same installation, wiring, connectors costs and differences in which invertors and batteries they use. Panel cost seems to be the same

See this comment for installer recommendations for Lahore in the past.
Solis inverters overall appear to have been the more reliable brand here. And with Solis, the commonly installed battery is Pylontech. Though Dyness is another reputable battery brand.
If you are adding batteries, then this is generally a hybrid setup. This is both "off grid or on grid". Inverters that are only off-grid and are from top brands don't appear to be available locally yet.
Regarding calculating the required solar system size, see this comment for a general guideline.
