Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
Yes, in most cases. If you have a hybrid inverter (Growatt, Deye, Solis, Voltronic, SolarEdge) you can add an Aokly LV battery directly without replacing any equipment. If you have a string inverter only, you would need to add a hybrid inverter as well. We confirm compatibility before any recommendation is made.
How many batteries do I need for 8 hours of backup?
It depends entirely on your load. A home running 2 ACs, lighting and appliances at around 2–3 kW continuous would need 16–24 kWh of usable capacity for 8 hours — roughly 3–4 Aokly LV 5 units or 2 Aokly LV 10 units. We size from your actual bill data, not estimates.
Is LFP really better than NMC for Pakistan?
Yes, unambiguously. NMC chemistry has higher energy density but is thermally unstable above 35–40°C ambient. Pakistani summers regularly push 45°C. NMC in a poorly ventilated plant room or outdoor enclosure degrades rapidly and carries real fire risk. LFP operates safely to 50°C and beyond, delivers twice the cycle life and costs less per usable kWh over a 10-year period.
What happens to my net metering if I add a battery?
A battery reduces your grid export because the system stores surplus solar rather than sending it to the grid. For most consumers this is preferable — NEPRA’s net metering credit rate has been revised downward and the economics of self-consumption via battery now outperform export for most load profiles in Pakistan.
What is the warranty on Aokly and MountRex batteries?
2 years, handled directly by Charania Renewables. No overseas manufacturer referral. If there is a fault within the warranty period, we manage it. Our channel partners who install Aokly systems are vetted by us and have direct technical escalation for commissioning and in-service issues.
