@solarking, here is the combiner box I am buying for my installation.
Please note you should use something like this and not use a MCB as a combiner for your own projects
You have any idea or contacts for the structure works?

You can watch this video this old guy uses the same type of inverter and he says he is 100% offgrid but I doubt it coz he talks gibberish about the panels.( I think that is another video and he will say uv will power the solar panels)

You can use MCB as an ON/OFF switch but not as a way to combine many strings into one and read BB's answer to understand why i.e the dead/shorted string can kill the other good strings if you do not have a fuse/breaker on each string seperately
-
I do not plan to use Air conditioner at this point on the Inverter because I am going to use the Grid feed facility to offset my bills with any extra power I generate from the panels anyway.

@Nila
i don't see any image of the combiner box? Here is another video of that old guy you can see the same type of inverter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_jtXGvuIw8
what do you think about exide's warranty claim on solar batteries? If we use the solar battery and completely offgrid and the battery will fail within 3 years and can't we claim the warranty?

@Nila
I don't see any images of the combiner box. What do yoiu think about the warranty claim on exide solar batteries? do they replace it with new battery?
-
I posted it inline, I will try again.
About the warranty claim they should replace it regardless of offgrid / ongrid I believe that's why it's called a solar battery. -

Thanks for the image. If we use the battery in offgrid setup it will fail within 4 years for sure will they replace the battery with new exide solar?
-
You know how things work here, they will try not to but if they really have to they will give you a 'replacement' battery and NOT a brand new one
Replacement battery may be an old one from their stock or whaever -

I haven't tried replacement that's why asked. I thought I will get a brand new battery as replacement.

I got all the things except for the roof mounting so will begin the PV installation possibly next week.
Thank you again for the EsySolare recommendation these guys are very good -

Went with EzySolare and they dispatched everything, waiting for a local guys to provide a quote to setup the panels on roof and when done I could start using the SUN.
-
I thought you bought it directly from the manufacturer coz ezysolare is a middleman so it will cost more. The pricing seems to be very low even though you have bought it from ezsolare. Just contact the steel roofing contractors they will quote very less and do it in no time.
-
EsySolare saves the time and handles all the communication and the money saved by contacting manufactures are lost in the time so all good there. Please PM me if you have any roof contractor contacts. I tried using Ezysolar for that too but the process is bit combersome they wanted me to give them roof drawings and mroe ,etc.

Any mason & welder will do the job. You can try someone nearyby it will be more cost effective unless you want it to be perfect then you should opt for solar installers.

Guys, Thank you for all the help I was able to provision the system, I am still waiting on the Netmeter setup but overall things seems to be running fine.
All my morning time usages are now taken care of by the solar which isnt very high. I have to still do some load shedding and i will post here with pics once the netmeter is setup.
