Qcells Q.HOME CORE

A modular LFP system (9 to 18 kWh) from a major solar brand, but it is a multi-box setup (separate inverter, battery, and hub) rather than an all-in-one unit. Its listed 7.6 kW AC output is inverter-limited; the battery module itself is rated higher.

Efficiency basis: battery module round trip (system cycle efficiency is lower). Round-trip numbers are only comparable across brands when measured the same way, so read the basis before comparing.

Specs do not tell you if it pays off.

Payback depends on your rate plan, usable capacity, and local incentives, not the brand on the box.
