There is no single system for every site. These answers help distinguish equipment selection from complete system design, and prepare you for a technical proposal suited to your requirements

Solar energy FAQs

System design and installation, cost, storage and maintenance

Back to topics
How much does a solar installation cost?

Cost depends on system capacity, equipment, site conditions, installation work and battery requirements. Request an itemised scope and compare warranties and included work alongside price

How is the right system capacity determined?

Electricity bills, demand patterns, loads, available space and shading inform capacity and generation estimates; building floor area alone is not enough

Do I need batteries with solar?

It depends on your goals, consumption times and backup needs. Storage capacity and compatibility with the inverter and loads are part of system design

Will the system supply power during a grid outage?

Not every solar system is configured for backup. Outage operation depends on system type, inverter, batteries, isolation equipment and the loads it is designed to supply

Can a fixed savings percentage be guaranteed?

Savings depend on generation, usage patterns, shading, tariffs and site conditions. Estimates belong in the assessment; the same result should not be assumed for every project

When should a solar system be checked?

Follow-up depends on equipment and site conditions. A noticeable generation drop or repeated alarms warrants technical assessment; electrical components should not be handled without qualified support

Can an existing system be expanded?

Expansion may be possible after reviewing the inverter, panels, wiring, space and site requirements. Technical compatibility should be checked before buying additional equipment

What information is needed for a proposal?

Share the site location, a recent electricity bill and photos of available space, plus essential appliances, backup needs and planned expansion

EcoFlow FAQs

Portable power stations, charging options and appliance runtime

Back to topics
What is an EcoFlow portable power station?

It stores energy in a rechargeable battery and supplies devices through its available outlets; output, ports and charging methods vary by model

What is the difference between watts and watt-hours?

Watts describe operating power, while watt-hours describe stored energy; output must support your devices, while battery capacity affects how long they can run

How can I estimate runtime?

Divide usable energy in watt-hours by average device consumption in watts, accounting for conversion losses and the station’s own consumption; actual runtime varies with the load and operating conditions

Are solar panels required?

They are optional for models that support mains charging; solar charging requires a supported model and panels and cables that match its input limits

Can it run a refrigerator or air conditioner?

That depends on the model’s AC output and the appliance’s starting and running power, not battery capacity alone; send us your appliance specifications before buying

Is every EcoFlow station suitable for interruption-sensitive equipment?

Backup features and transfer times vary by model; check the model’s manual and the requirements of sensitive equipment before relying on it

Can I expand battery capacity later?

Some models support specific extra batteries and others do not; we check battery, cable and model compatibility before recommending an expansion

SolaX FAQs

Inverters and batteries, compatibility and backup power

Back to topics
Is a SolaX inverter a battery?

An inverter and a battery are different components; the inverter converts and manages energy according to its type, while a battery stores energy for later use

Will a SolaX system work during an outage?

This depends on the inverter model, backup output, batteries and wiring; we identify the loads the system can support during the design stage

Can I connect any battery to a SolaX inverter?

Check the model-specific compatibility list, voltage, communication protocol and system version; similar capacity or branding alone does not establish compatibility

How do I choose single-phase or three-phase?

The choice depends on your electricity supply, loads, their distribution and site requirements; our team reviews these details to propose a suitable system

Start with your needs, then choose the system

Have a recent electricity bill, your site location and your essential loads ready. Our team will help you begin with a suitable assessment

Cost, generation and savings depend on energy use, site conditions and design; details are established in the assessment and proposal
