  • Price isn't bad. Components are low-end but reputable. I'd recommend using solarquotes.com.au and getting three (more) quotes.

      I recently used Solar quotes here in VIC for a 6.66KW system with 20x Q-Cells G5+ (the ones with 25 year product warranty) + 5KW Fronius inverter.

      Installer 1: $5400

      Installer 2: $5600

      Installer 3: $6200

      Just a price reference FYI for anyone curious.

      • is that after the extra VIC rebates @SeanConnery?

      • Just a price reference
        Vic quotes aren't relevant in a QLD only Deal. Likely to confuse people.

        Different States / areas offer different incentives. Quotes by installers are usually limited to certain locations, so unlikely to be available in QLD.

        Best to get quotes for your own location & requirements. There are a lot of variables affecting price.

      • Thanks for that. Another reference point for those in VIC (this is not useful for QLD people): I'm getting a 6.66kw system with 20x Jinko Cheetahs and 5kw Fronius inverter for $4300 after VIC Rebate ($2450 upfront + $1850 Vic Gov loan).

          "20x Jinko Cheetahs and 5kw Fronius inverter for $4300 after VIC Rebate ($2450 upfront + $1850 Vic Gov loan)($2450 upfront + $1850 Vic Gov loan)"

          With your system, our quote to you should be just $1300 upfront (after VIC Rebate + $1850 interest free loan) if you are in STC Zone 3 ($200 more if you are in STC Zone 4). If you still want me to give you the proposal let me know. Or if you want Jinko Cheetah 370W it is $200 more.

          Your quote is almost double so I suggest you do more shop around to compare.

          • @samehada: As mentioned in the other thread - your quote is $950 less than what I'm getting. Definitely a good saving!

            However (and this is not commentary on your business), my installer is well regarded and has been in the business for over 10 years. That's why I chose this quote.

            Also I'm regional, panels will be across 2 rooftops/arrays and I have a tiled roof.

            • @loksmack: without knowing your exact roof layout and location the above quote is just for standard installation in metropolitan area. There may be extra travel surcharge to your area as well. Just a reference for your comparison.

    • Thanks. Solis doing their own trumpet blowing at https://solisinverters.com.au/2019/12/21/why-solis-inverters… … as stated elsewhere we are more than happy with them. This system is very good value for money. JA are good panels at 20.1% efficiency on the 370's & Solis with a 10 year warranty.

  • I have no idea about Solar and not from QLD, but, how much $$$ does this save you assuming your're paying $500 per quarter.

      The answer will depends on many aspects but I think the average payback period for a typical system these days is around 4-5 years. However long the system continues generating energy at decent amounts from then on is basically free money. Again, many, many aspects to consider, that's just a very generalised approximate so maybe someone who knows more can chime in.

      Our case is a good example of a variable. We live in a tiny house with a tiny roof area so we have to spend big bucks on fewer yet larger, commercial grade panels to generate the same amount. LG Commercial Panels are/were the only choice for us to get close to producing the same amount as per the system in this deal and the quote was approx. $10k including a very high quality inverter. We calculated it out and our payback period based on that quote would be more like 10 years however as the LG panels are of an extreme high quality they should also last a lot longer than most basic panels too so our 'free ride' after payback will be longer than most systems. That quote was from about 18months ago and as technology continues to improve 'everything' we'll probably wait and get another quote in about 6 months time because there'll probably be even high power panels out by then and for less $$s too but of course if we'd installed that system 18 months ago we would only have 8.5 years left of payback so it's all relative. The only reason we didn't jump at that system was the fact that a couple of the LG panels needed to be installed at freaky angles and on a section of the roof that doesn't have great sun exposure so we decided to wait until 'better' panels were available so we needed even fewer.

        500w panels are now getting common and there are now 600w panels are entering the market. So you might not have to wait much longer.

        • They are also larger panels, not necessarily leaps and bounds improvements in efficiency

        • Very nice to hear! Just looked them up. So glad we haven't acted on anything yet. In tech we trust :)

          • @SteveAndBelle: They're a fair bit larger than the current 60 or 66 cell panels so they won't necessarily be a better design solution…depends on what space you're working with. The Trina500w has a 20.9% efficiency compared to the JA Solar listed here (370) at 20.1%. Pricing on the 500s is likely to be a lot more than what one is paying for the 60 and 66 cell product at the moment.

            • @XALT Solar: Agreed however the larger-than-standard LG panels we were looking at actually fit far better on the critical roof sections than the regular panels so that was a win from the get-go. They completely filled the front verandah roof giving us far more output than any config of regular sized panels.

              Anyway, that's what it boils down to for us so well see how it goes when we get another quote next year. Will hopefully get an even neater configuration for less $$s!

    • From your bill, what is the daily energy usage on each tariff?

      Single Rate or a Time of Use?
      Electric Hot Water on Controlled Load?

  • And prices are down..
