    $5700 for very outdated panel and cheap inverter, not so cheap

      does it make a huge difference if it still does the job?

      (i know nothing about solar other than in june frosnius was the rolls, grosser ok and aurora are rubbish inverters)

      • lgacb08 on 14/07/2020 - 19:45

        aurora used to have its days, like Nokia. I have no comment about inverter but for panel, regardless of brand, using 290w panel is a waste unless you live on rural property with huge shed, 22 panels and you can't even max out system, nowadays 330w panels are the norms, which will mean a lot for those living in metropolitant area and have limited optimal roof space.

          2 panels difference, how big are these panels? Each: 1.7m high by 1m wide

          • lgacb08 on 14/07/2020 - 20:50

            @netjock: not just the number, not everyone can fit that many on the north roof space, unshade (if you do you might as well putting 10kw on it), and then there come the rooftop evap cooler, chimney and all others casting shade on them.. Most panels are of standard size, the 370w one might be a little bit wider for some manufacturer.

      Panels: Just because it is release a while back. You need to consider the efficiency and the expected decline in production over time.

      Cheap inverter: If there is a 10 year warranty and it is half the price of a Fronius I'd suggest technology would be leaps and bounds better than Fronius bought now at twice the price. But I guess it is better driving a Merc purchased for $100k right now in 20 years than a 2x Toyotas purchased for $50k now and in 10 years time.

      • lgacb08 on 14/07/2020 - 20:57

        You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, most panels are around same size so the one with higher watt rating also mean they're more efficient. There're many better inverter choice in the middle, I wouldn't rank solis as the Toyota of inverter, more of a great wall lol and Fronius is almost certainly the Merc too, it's more like Toyota. Do your research before making a statement

          I just put 13 kilowatts on a roof. I think I'd know more than the average person.

          most panels are around same size so the one with higher watt rating also mean they're more efficient.

          Your context is regarding single panel size vs efficiency. If 22 panels is 15% cheaper than 20 panels, you still get 6.4Kw IF you have the roof space. Price wise you are actually ahead. Price is people's priority.

          I wouldn't rank solis as the Toyota of inverter, more of a great wall lol and Fronius is almost certainly the Merc too, it's more like Toyota. Do your research before making a statement

          I think you misinterpreted again. Real example. $2500 for a Fronius. $1000 for a Growatt. I would suggest you buy the Growatt because they both have 10 year warranty Even if Fronius lasts for 20 years in 10 years time technology would have progressed that features / durability would increase.

    Recently got a Solis 5kW inverter + 16 Seraphim 330W panels for $2600+ after rebate. There's also an interest-free loan of $1888, bringing out of pocket down to $700+. There's a group discount too, for 3 or more.

        Call them up, ask for Vik. May get an almost similar setup with zero out of pocket.

        • Prothean on 15/07/2020 - 08:13

          Thinking of doing this, for anyone else interested, feel free to send me a PM.

        • samehada on 01/08/2020 - 02:40

          Why do you have to call up and ask for Vik while not email me directly while I am the one who post that deal :)

    Hi all,

    I've outlined a few points OP stated, and the facts/ my opinions:

    "Originally established in 2007, we have installed over 9,000 systems across Australia."
    - ABN states Eko Energy registered on 08-Feb-2019, that is not 2007
    - https://abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View/34158561927
    - Please note the actual Eko Energy company hasn't installed 9000 systems. Companies like these just pay another company to install the system. This number would be a consolidation of installations from another installer company they pay. To Eko/OP: feel free to dispute me on this claim.

    "Clean Energy Council (CEC) Approved Solar Retailer"
    - This "council" is just a consolidation of people from different companies, and not a government regulatory body.
    - https://www.cleanenergycouncil.org.au/about/our-team
    - Please be mindful that they have no power in any disputes if you have any issues.
    - Any solar company can easily buy a membership from the CEC, and create a big fat sticker on their company as "CEC approved". Doesn't cost much.
    - The CEC just run a few seminars and post advice on renewable energy, that's all they are.
    - This "scam" is similar to bodies like "Engineers Australia" and "Master Builders Association", they're all not government regulatory bodies

    "Australian backed warranties on our entire Tier 1 product range."
    - If Eko closes their business, your warranty will void. They can easily close shop and open a new ABN without acitioning any warranty claims.

    Preferred installer to over 20 councils residents via our solar bulk buy programs.
    - Please prove this fact. Are you referring to your "installer", and not Eko?
    - There isn't a dedicated reviews page on Eko's website, only a couple of sentence "testimonials" flashing across the screen on the landing page.

    "Highly ranked by independent customer reviews & testimonials dating back to 2010"
    - How about negative reviews? I can't find any
    - No ABN provided on your website.
    - Your website has heaps of broken links
    - Why is your website not functional if you've been around since 2007.
    - Website looks to be created in 2019.

    My extra information:
    - Q-Cells solar panels were orginally a German company, but went into insolvency in 2011. It was bought out by a South Korean company:
    - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanwha_Q_Cells
    - Majority of europeon inverters were tested (research and development) in Europeon electricity conditions. The voltage frequency and behavior are different in Australia. I'm only pointing this out for the actual efficiency and longevity of europeon inverters. I haven't researched all the invertors Eko offers, that's up to you.

    I can share how you work out your energy consumption, what size solar system accommodates your needs, efficiency during months within the year, pay back period. Let me know if you want me to write/comment it out here.

    Disclaimer: I don't work for a solar company, I'm a structural engineer within the building and construction industry. My thesis was on solar power/renewable energy when I studied Bachelors of Mechanical Engineering. I base things on facts, Eko Energy are not being straight/honest in my opinion.

    To Eko Energy: Feel free to dispute any of my facts/opinions here for all to see. Feel free to stalk my previous comments on my account.

    To all: My intention is for you to do more research before you commit a few grand.
