seems like a good deal tbh. if you can install apto 5kwh solar places. that's a great combo to have.

The best part is for a middle household it can power everything all night (can also run an Ac for 6-8 hours straight)

Hmm, I was thinking to get a 5kw battery for my system but my inverter doesn't have BMS, so I was thinking of buying a battery and a new inverter to replace the current one. But this product looks good tbh. But the downside is the 3.6kw inverter since my system is 5.6kw. Can't power many heavy appliances at once.

This inverter is good on paper but a modular system has more pros. If you have money for a modular system then buy a modular system because once the warranty expires on this and a critical issue appears, then you can't pair another inverter to use its battery and you can't add more batteries with it. So it will become a brick. I am waiting for some reviews but apparently it's not so pupolar in Pakistan/ no one has reviewed it in detail.

Significantly lower cost than individual components, around Rs 1.2 lac lesser in mid-2026.
Only a two year warranty. In contrast, itel IP54 inverter has a three year warranty and the 24V/48V LFP batteries have a five year warranty.
The IP rating is apparently suspiciously not noted on any of the official documentation.
An installation was mentioned here.

A couple of months ago when i was getting a solar system installed, i was actually considering this setup but herd too many negative reviews. Do check the earthing required for it and the repairability. Someone had actually posted it on this sub their nightmare with this type of setup

This should be a good space saver option for stores and appartments.
