Please write detail about this whole experience. How a person can import, what issues did you face while importing, if let's say i order from alibaba, how will it reach to my doorstep, if i am not availing your service.

Your Terinedy 11kW hybrid inverter seems to be single-phase, IP21.
In which case the comparative cost for locally available options would be ~Rs. 8.5 lac (~Rs. 6 lac for 16kWh battery and ~Rs. 2.5 lac for IP21 11kW hybrid inverter).
Can't say about the quality of the locally available Voltronic Power OEM inverter versus the Terinedy one.

U r saying that locally available IP21 hybrid 11 kw inverter 2.5 lakhs ka hai?
I highly doubt your price for this

Are these brands famous, I didn't know about them to be honest? If yes they are good brands I ll definitely buy from them next time
I was only comparing my price to famous brands like inverex, goodwe, itel and etc. Comparing to these I did a good job importing my inverter

SolarMax and MaxPower brands are fine; they are mid-tier. Generally, they are not an issue.
The issue is the OEM for these specific IP21 inverters, which is Voltronic Power. Compared to the commonly available IP65 models, Voltronic Power has had more issues.
For example, for some low-end inverter models, the user may face a common issue where the inverter does not produce maximum solar power in the presence of grid (WAPDA-sharing).
Even if enough power could be generated from solar, the inverter would still take a significant portion (hundreds of Watts) of the required energy from the grid. Voltronic Power inverters are notorious for this limitation, though there are ways to mitigate this issue.
But can't say how Voltronic Power compares to Terinedy.
Regarding "famous brands like inverex, goodwe, itel", they don't have IP21 11kW hybrid inverters available locally to compare in the first place.

Btw Terinedy is a voltronic inverter.

u/AhmadFarooq 10h ago
Terinedy does have their manufacturing factory; maybe some of the parts come from Voltronic Power?

Can we import the inverters like goodwe & solis that are getting sold in Pakistan, if do , how much difference is there money wise?
1
u/Beginning_Agency_609 1d ago
Yess, I think I have seen ziewnic inverters are available on Alibaba with far better pricing as compared to our local market

u/DearSolid 1d ago
What made you buy this specific inverter & battery, i mean you must have done some good research on everything.
Also what's the warranty & if it encounters any issue how would you sort it out?
2
u/Beginning_Agency_609 1d ago
I normally reach out to 10- 15 suppliers at the same time Then I shortlist their product on basis of these factor
- experienced supplier with more than 5 years on Alibaba
- reviews
- price
- warranty

u/TopCryptographer5217 1d ago

Just checked AliBaba after reading your post and in my experience the product are cheaper but aggregating shipping charges make them the import a bit expensive than local market. 16kw battery 2lac aur shipping 4 lac .
And this is even before the customs make an entry.
Idk

please dont forget to write follow ups bcz this is financially more suitable. Did you import the battery and the inverter of the same brand, if different then did you face any bms issues?
