$4,5000 is a huge price for 2 panels and 4 batteries. A 150 watt panel should only cost about $150 each. A group 31 AGM is about $350 each. You'll need a charge controller for maybe $400. That's $1,750 worth of major parts. Throw in $250 for mounting brackets and wire and they're charging you about $2,500 for the labor.
I'd make sure your converter is really charging the batteries fully. It's probably not as most converters are fairly poor.
I don't believe lithium is worth the money for most people and the cold temperature limitation is a problem. I install off grid solar systems for a living and I rarely use lithium batteries because most mountain top cabins go unused and unheated all winter.
