Sleep deprived, about to impulse buy this off marketplace... this is totally worth it right? Am I better off holding out & looking for better bargains over time?

They are 100% ripping you off. I think at this price you won't even get garbage items but you'll be shipped a brick or something. 3x300W flex solar panels are like $150-200 value at lowest (or they are foldable, still at least $200) while real flex solar tends to be at least $100 a piece. Any ultra shitty inverter for 12V is like $100, maybe $50 if they really push their luck. Batteries are VERY far out of normal price range. The 100A charge controller is probably the usual $20 housefire one. I'm thinking for this money you could get a very bad 500-1000W car inverter, 3x50-100W flex solar panels, the usual housefire charge controller, and 2x 200Ah lead acid batteries or D grade/used LFP with no/extremely bad BMS.
The inverter with the specs they listed is impossible at the price point and would be dangerous if it was. However it probably just has 6000W written on the label and it burns out at 1000W-1500W.

or its hot
people steal solar stuff from the city here all the time but its foggy and useless lmao so its always selling cheap

6kW at 12V is already absolutely retarded, we are talking about 500A current draw, all decent systems use 48V above 3kW

900W of solar panels means that you'll rarely get more than 700W on most days and it will be absolutely useless in winter months

cheap LifePO4 will have bad cells with high internal resistance which means you'll only get a fraction of the current, probably less than 30A

100A for 3 shitty panels is absolutely overkill and probably fake


Nothing good about this

The 6kW 12V inverter is the major red flag. Even if it's stolen they clearly stole some absolute garbage stuff. If the LFP were legit it'd be worth it just for that but they most certainly aren't, and a shit LFP is worth less than nothing because it can be dangerous.

Just ask for photos.
