How much would a solar system cost (ball-park estimate) for a modestly sized home?
At 2k(not including night) a month AC bill it will probably never pay for itself. Throw in ongoing maintenance and opportunity lost (5% return on whatever you spend)) and you would probably have to triple you AC bills to break even in 8 years. I have solar and love it but breaking even for most on this forum is a pipe dream. My 9kW solar setup was low-cost. DIY combined with locals that instaul farm water pumps cost roughly 135k (included 13.4kWH battery ). Probably could do it for 10k-15k less today because battery prices and panels are down. You can buy the panels yourself (35k-45k) and learn about what resources in the area are available for the instaul at the same time. Some here can do the install themselves and I'm definitely not one of them. Buy a 10kW inverter on Lazada for 23k and have the installers hook it all up ( I paid 2 baht per watt ). It is that easy and any problem that comes up was easy for me to resolve. I'm a fool when it comes to electricity but even I was easily able to ask questions on forums and resolve issues. Just do it and have some fun. Your needs are not large so you don't need to break the bank on a pristine setup. Also oversize everything. You think you need a 5kwh inverter - get a 10 kwh inverter and same goes with the panels. You mentioned hot water heaters. Mine are efficient but on startup they will trip the breakers if ACs are also running. Another reason to get a bigger inverter or just have the heaters run off the grid. -

Advise on buying a BYD car.
An electric truck would be about as much use as a chocolate teapot, that's why manufacturers are slow to make them. They're OK for occasional use as a weekend shopping trolley. Assuming they don't also go bankrupt like NETA. https://autopostglobal.com/car-news-industry/article/58040/#google_vignette -
