Findings

Risks and missing items

Highest severity first.

  • Battery undersized for evening demand
    Evening demand ~4.9 kWh; usable storage ~1.9 kWh (at 80% DoD).
  • No BMS-protected battery
    AGM/lead-acid without BMS — overdischarge will halve life. Specify Li-ion with manufacturer BMS for critical loads.

Buyer education

What to demand before signing

Plain-language checks any buyer can use, even without an engineer present.

  • Manufacturer name AND model number on every line. "Equivalent" is not a model.
  • Warranty term in years AND who honours it (vendor or manufacturer).
  • Battery technology stated (Li-ion / LiFePO4 / AGM) plus cycle life.
  • Inverter surge rating in kVA for 5 s — not just continuous.
  • BMS for any lithium battery. No BMS = unsafe.
  • Single-line diagram + load schedule attached to the quote.
  • Earthing scheme + SPD spec — life-safety items, never optional.
  • Itemised labour and commissioning, not "as per site".
