Need Guidance for Home Solar Setup (5kW Enough?)

Hi everyone, I am very new to solar and need some guidance for my home setup. We have around 10 hours of load shedding daily, mostly during daytime till evening.

Current appliances/load:

  • 1 × Gree Pular Inverter AC 1.5 Ton = around 1600W
  • 1 × Haier old inverter AC = around 800–1000W
  • 4 × Khurshid fans 50W each = 200W
  • 5 × Philips bulbs 20W each = 100W
  • 2 × WiFi routers
  • 1 × Laptop charger 245W
  • 1 × Laptop charger 65W

Approx total running load is around 3200–3600 watts.

Can anyone guide me:

  • What size hybrid solar inverter should I use?
  • Is a 5kW hybrid inverter enough for this load?
  • How many solar panels would be recommended?
  • What battery size should I use for backup during load shedding?
  • Is lithium-ion battery the best option?

Would appreciate suggestions from experienced people. Thanks!
