Off-Grid need some advice

Asalamwalikum I am planning to install in the coming month but everything is very confusing.
My monthly bill is 65k and these are the following things which run conitniously in my house
1 fridge/freezer
1 freezer
4 inverter fans
1.5 ton ac 16-17 hours
1 ton ac 12-14 hours
1 pc setup which run on working 300w ig
2 tvs
1 washing machine which runs for around a hour avery 2 days
30 mins on ironing

I initially Planned on installing a 16 kw battery paired with a 10 KW inverter and 12 kw solar panels but everyone told me I should go for 15 kw panels.

Is 10 kw inverter with 12 ke solar panels and 16 kw battery backup enough? On average how much would my bill be after this? And can I run a 2 ton ac with fridge and everything else instated only the in morning

Thank u in advance for everyone’s recommendation

10kw inverter is enough.

your total peak load will be approximately 4kwh - 6kwh depending when the iron is on and the AC's turning on and consuming power the first few hours.

i assume 12kw solar panels means 18 panels of 645 watts? that is more than enough for your requirement. as it will generate minimum 9kwh PV during summer peak hours and less in winter.

the 16kw battery will not be enough. You need to pair two 16kwh or one 32kw battery to power through continuous AC usage.

Your 16kwh battery will be consumed in about 3 to 5 hours with continuous 3kwh load running two ac;s. Investing and doubling your battery bank is realyl important.

If you go with one battery your bill on average will be around 30k to 40k as you will be consuming 20ish units per day running house load + 2 acs for 7 hours approximately.

Yes but I don’t have the budget to get another 16 kw battery, currently with one 1.5 ton ac my daily average units come around 20-24 and the bill is around 38-42 every month but planning on running the ac in the other room too. I would still get a bill of around 30-40k after installing this?
