    I thought you can only put up a 5kw system on single phase?

  • Bellpop on 12/03/2020 - 13:45

    Great price. I had a local installer tell me that he could ‘pull some strings’ to get 10kw over single phase, but I thought he was trying to bamboozle me to sign up and didn’t believe him. Can anyone with knowledge confirm or deny?

    • SBOB on 12/03/2020 - 14:00

      Depends on supplier in your area
      For instance agl in NSW has areas that allow 10kw on a single phase

      • Olli on 12/03/2020 - 14:27

        Well not quite, Max allowed system size /inverter capacity is established by the utility in your area.

        You energy provider may have there own rules in terms of Max system size, this can be inverter and/or Max array size if and what feed in Tarif they pay.

    • tunzafun001 on 12/03/2020 - 14:45

      5kw max single phase. However, you may need 6kw+ of panels on cloudy days.

      Or

      Alternatively you might face 5kw to the east for maximum morning offset, then 5kw facing west for afternoon/ cooking coming home with AC on.

      Net result, 10kw panels, 5kw inverter.

      • Bellpop on 12/03/2020 - 14:56

        This isn’t what SBOB is saying?!

        • tunzafun001 on 12/03/2020 - 15:34

          SBOB is absolutely correct, but the norm is 5kw inverter max.

          For example, if you are out bush and no one else has solar within cooee, then you could put more down that line. But if you are in the suburbs, and everyone is getting solar then 5kw will be the limit. Just an arbitrary number to ensure everyone has the opportunity for solar who share the same phase (or powerline for simplicity).

  • funnysht on 12/03/2020 - 13:47

    how long would this take to earn your money back for a single household? 5yrs?

      Nobody can answer that as they don't know your electricity usage by the hour.

      • atrorz on 12/03/2020 - 14:10

        That's true but if you can get agl 20c feed-in in your area, it'll be between 3 and 5 years for most people. You gotta do the maths yourself though, whirlpool has a spreadsheet to use.

    • tunzafun001 on 12/03/2020 - 15:53

      I can tell you that I have had 3kw solar in SA for 8 years. In that time it has produced 44000kw, or around $8500 in dollar terms (working on a middle point of 20c/kW offset / feed in).

      The system was installed by the previous owner for $15k, so it was never recouped (other than the environment thanks them). These days, $3k installs are a no brainer for twice the capacity.

      • lostn on 12/03/2020 - 18:35
        +1

        did you sell $8500 worth of energy to the grid, or just generate that much?

        • tunzafun001 on 12/03/2020 - 19:10

          The inverter has 'processed' 44000kw total. I'm working on some of that offset the 40ish C per kWh that would normally be drawn from the grid, a larger proportion exported to the grid around 10ish C /kW. So let's say 44000kw @ 20c/kW ~=$8500

          • lostn on 12/03/2020 - 21:53

            @tunzafun001: sounds very profitable for you then, provided he didn't pass on the cost in the sale.

            • tunzafun001 on 12/03/2020 - 23:18

              @lostn: Yeah, was a draw card when we bought the house. Built in 1960 by an uber tightass. He only stuffed up by missing the 48c/ kW feed in by 15 days. But, some very clever efficiency design elements for its time (for example I can open/ vent the whole side roof cavity on hot days).

  • rabbikhan on 12/03/2020 - 14:05

    How many kw is the inverter?

  • Tsapena on 12/03/2020 - 14:07

    I've just had a system installed recently and this sounds pretty good to me.
    The 5 year warranty on the install falls very short of the 12 years I have.
    Do lots of research on Moon light electrical.
    I'm export limited to 5kw through endeavour and yet my system is over 8kw so there's a bit to use on the side.
    Inverter should be an 8kw - Fronius is supposedly at the top end of town for inverters.
    Trina and other similar panels will all produce electricity very well, warranty would be a consideration for peace of mind, some entry level panels now have 15year product warranty.

  • atrorz on 12/03/2020 - 14:09

    If you register the fronius it should get a 10 year warranty not 5 right…. Not sure why this isn't mentioned?

      what a bait and switch. They entice you with good FITs, wait till thousands of you pay up for solar and then halve the FIT?

  • Naigrabzo on 12/03/2020 - 14:30

    Cracker deal. especially if you have 3 phase but even then. Just set all your aircon etc to come during the day.

      So long as you remember that Solar Quotes is a site that sells referrals.

  • Owgasm on 12/03/2020 - 17:30

    Has anyone tried contacting for a proper quote?

  • Owgasm on 12/03/2020 - 17:45

    From someone that has no idea about this, I’m just looking at reducing my electricity bills and also ROI.

    Will a bigger system (10.2kw vs 6kw) generate more power and therefore have more feed in? (NSW)
    Does it work like that?

    • bobby dazzler on 12/03/2020 - 17:58

      Short answer is yes but as discussed in above comments your electricity provider may limit their intake to 5kw so anything over that they won't accept or give you credit for.

      • Krazyy on 12/03/2020 - 18:13

        Unless you are on 3 phase power

    • Steptoe on 12/03/2020 - 19:43

  • Daves88 on 12/03/2020 - 20:09

    Can you quote up a 6kw system using the same gear? Cheers

  • B-Man02 on 12/03/2020 - 20:09

    That sounds way too cheap for what it is

    • REDTUTE on 12/03/2020 - 21:01

      It is too cheap!
      It will end up in a disaster, you'll be bait and switched products and waiting for six months for the install, the install will be not to code and will be installed by backpackers or foreign workers scamming our visa system for a few dollars a day.

      You be contacting your local solar installer to sooner or later, possibly begging them to come and fix the mess or possibly the fire brigade if you really unlucky.

      Also fronius have a 5+5 year warranty when installed via authorised fronius dealer.
      Also there no Smart Meter in the quote that will be needed to limit output to 5 kW.

      Solar is an large investment, not something that should be purchase at the cheapest price possible.
      Our garbage dumps are full of shit solar dumped on the Australian market from shit solar sellers.

        You have literally been negative on every single solar post on ozbargain…. my guess is you are in the industry and trying to get more business….

        • Manny Calavera on 12/03/2020 - 21:27

          Hardly effective if you don’t know who he works for.

          That said, I have a story about someone else that advertises solar here.

        • REDTUTE on 12/04/2020 - 00:01

          Yes I work for a Solar Installer, where passionate about looking after our customers and the solar industry in a whole.
          I see very low quality solar installs every day of the week, these poor people have been ripped off by unscrupulous operators.

          Most Budget solar businesses, never come to site to quote nor will they climb on your roof to inspect the job site, they will use subcontractors so you have no come back on their business when things go wrong.
          They we blame the installer which is probably a few unlicensed electricians/backpackers driving around Australia in a van.

          They bait and switch products without a customer's knowledge, they don't meet Australian standards, don't lodge extended warranty documents because it cost them money, they don't plan to be still operating if a warranty claim ever arises, we seen them not lodge paperwork with the electrical suppliers like Ergon. Eg the system never worked for years.

          We fix these dodgy installed systems almost every day of the week, and also try to get warranties covered for systems if still under warranty. There's next to no money in doing this type of work this is helping you local community, the flow on effective is them recommending you to their friends and family.

          If your ever thinking of getting solar on your house find a quality local business that does the installs themselves. That's been operating for over 5 years at a minimum, and if you can afford use LG panels or something similar you should.
          As you gambling on that manufacturer still being there to offer you that a warranty in 25 years if needed.

          High quality installers systems, with a 5kw inverters with 6.6kw solar array range from lower end products $5500.00 to about $10000.00 for the highest end products. This is in QLD.

          Anything much below the entry price they are cutting corners most people wouldn't want cut on anything electrical, that could burn your house down.

          • quasi on 18/04/2020 - 11:21

            @REDTUTE: agree with most of what you say. Moonlight might be an honest mob, but they've only been around since Nov 2018 so not enough time for defects and warranty claims to come in. most fail around the 2-3 yr mark. so going with them is a bit of a leap of faith.

            however, paying double for established local installers is not necessarily fool proof either and there is a risk/reward equation for both.

            i personally wouldnt go with Moonlight but am seriously considering the SPN or CaptainGreen deals posted on OZB. those are large established referral companies with installs sub-contracted often to local installers (probably not the best local ones i would guess). warranty claims will be a pain but might be the right balance for me.

      • lostn on 12/03/2020 - 21:56

        dead solar panels get recycled and parts reused.

        • atrorz on 13/03/2020 - 07:59

          There's only one recycler in Australia last I heard, in South Australia I believe and they're busy enough just with south Australian panels, the vast majority go to landfill according to 730 report investigation

        • SBOB on 13/03/2020 - 18:01

          find me any panel recycler on the east coast and the number of panels they recycle?

          I'll wait….

          truth is almost all end up in landfill, some end up second hand market
          There unfortunately isnt this magical recycling facility recycling these old panels (old cheap poorly built panels)

      • tunzafun001 on 12/03/2020 - 23:24

        Hmmmm, previous owner paid $17k for 3.8kw of premium Q Cell solar on this house 8 years ago. The panels are dying. SMA inverter still chugging along nicely though. With solar at around $500/ kW you can't really go wrong now. It will repay itself in a couple of years on average (or in mates case ..3 quarters).

        • lostn on 13/03/2020 - 09:30

          17k is a lot of money. It's amazing how far we've gone in 8 years.

          Maybe 8 years from now, 6k will get you 30kw.

            +1

            @lostn: Yet we still don't use solar trackers to follow the sun (which would make a 5kw system export the equivalent of a 10kw system). I have no idea why really. I guess people still buy new petrol only cars as well, then sit in traffic burning fuel going nowhere. I don't get that either.

            • lostn on 13/03/2020 - 15:26

              @tunzafun001: if I had to guess, it might be expensive or difficult to install. I'm only speculating because I haven't seen this tech but you might have to spread the panels some distance apart to give them room to rise up and rotate without blocking or hitting the neighboring panels?

              • tunzafun001 on 13/03/2020 - 18:31

                @lostn: They would spin on their central axis, so no extra space required. You can buy the rod and sun tracker that lifts the panel from eBay now. But I have never seen a panel mount that pivots in the middle yet though. Only issue I can think of is catching the wind.

  • Steptoe on 13/03/2020 - 06:00

    Didn't know Fronius made a 10kW Primo inverter.

    If you are putting 10kW inverter may as well go 13.3kW panels as the STC's close to cover the extra panel cost.

    • lostn on 13/03/2020 - 15:27
