AUGUSTSPECIAL

DUE TO AMAZING RESPONSE AND POPULAR DEMANDS, I have negotiated an exclusive very good deal for this month for $0 upfront cost for all STC Zones.

For current economic situation this deal should help you to get an affordable solar system with performance and quality that help to reduce the increasing cost of electricity bill especially we now have to work from home.

6.6kW Solar PV System fully installed for $0 upfront after STC Rebate, SolarVic Rebate ($1,850), and SolarVic Interest-Free Loan ($1,850).
Total cost for Solar PV System without Solar Vic Rebate & Loan is: $3,700 (including STC Rebate, GST included).

All you will have to pay after SolarVIC Rebate and SolarVIC Interest-Free loan is just $38.55/month x 48months ($1850 interest free loan from SolarVIC repayment over 4 years)

What does this exclusive deal include?
- 18 x Tier 1 Mono Half-Cut ZNShine 370W Ultra High-Efficiency Panels (15-year Product Warranty and 25-year Performance Warranty). Good panel with 20.31% efficiency rate and 15 year warranty.
- 1 x 5kW Growatt Inverter (10-year warranty)
- Top Quality, CEC accredited installer with a 10-year Workmanship Warranty

ZNShine 370W Ultra High-Efficiency Panel Datasheet:
Growatt Inverter Datasheet:

If you have old switchboard with ceramic fuse please mention it in the email.
Sample old switchboard photo: https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/24969/81752/old-switch…
If you have 3 phase meter please mention it in the email. It should be printed on your meter as "3P/3 Phase". Please also mention if you have double storey property.

SolarVIC Rebate requirement:
- Your property value must be less than 3 million
- Total taxable income for everyone named on council rate for either of the last 2 year must be less than $180k

Rental Property
SolarVIC now has new interest free loan stream for rental property so if you are tenant and want to get solar installed you can negotiate with landlord and can also offer to contribute up to 50% of monthly repayment for interest free loan from SolarVIC.

This also help with landlord that doesn't meet income requirement for rebate if they want to install solar system for their investment property since the income requirement will be assessed against the tenant.

  Same here, but the panels were different (Jinko). Also the rebate and loan amounts were higher back then(2×$38). Does that mean, these panels are cheaper compared to Jinko?
  - Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 03/08/2020 - 18:02
    
    Jinko charged premium price, we got bulk discount from supplier for this and we decided to make it a great affordable deal for everyone.

Can you explain what 6.6 means in layman terms? Also how much would it be to added a battery or something? We run the AC 24/7
- SwarleyAUS on 03/08/2020 - 14:41
  
  This is a daily solar power production estimate I received with the quote of a 4.4kW system from a different mob: https://imgur.com/a/B0dyI6R. So 6.6kW could generate 50% more power. Use that to work out what kind of reduction in grid consumption you would see and voila. Savings.
  - ozaym on 03/08/2020 - 14:46
    
    Thanks mate, does that mean the power needs to be consumed right away and can not be stored with out a battery system?
    - wise penny on 03/08/2020 - 14:49
      
      That's correct. If not stored, it will go to grid and your electricity company may pay some credit(10 to 16 cents per kWh) to your account.
      - AlienC on 03/08/2020 - 14:56
        
        @wise penny: What's the average amount of power generated per day with a 6.6kw system like in super optimal conditions and total opposite super unoptimal conditions?
        
        I'm wondering how much the feed in tariff might net me per year if I decide to put one on my roof.
        
        We don't have much energy demands during the day it is actually needed at night when we turn the heaters on but battery pricing is a far way off to being competitive to just feeding off the grid.
        
        wise penny on 03/08/2020 - 15:17
        
        @AlienC: Not sure about that as I'm still new to this. Here is the dashboard explaining the power generated in July from my app

        +1
        
        @AlienC: In Melb about 22kwh a day average (this will decrease over time due to panel degradation). In perfect conditions you'll produce 40-45kwh, in winter overcast horrible days you'll get about 5kwh.
        
        It's a little risky for low consumption high export houses as far as solar payback time as you are very much at the mercy of FIT prices. As the saturation of solar continues it keeps bringing wholesale prices down during solar producing times, the minimum FIT decreased this year from 12c/Kwh to 10.2c/Kwh.
        
        In saying that at $1850 it's a no brainer, even if you don't consume any solar energy (impossible unless you shut everything off during daylight) then on FIT alone you're looking at $820 a year.
        
        Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 03/08/2020 - 16:09
        
        @donkcat: I only used 6kwh/day so most of my solar is exported to grid and I got $33 last month so it is pretty much enough to offset the repayment by itself. Like you said FIT keeps going down then it is better to install solar system earlier to get the most benefit to pay off your system :)

        @AlienC: Optimal condition is when you get all on North facing roof. My house has been getting 24kwh during the last few days and I only have 12x315W panel on North roof + 9x315W panel of South West (unfortunately my roof is tilted to the South) so I should get more if it is all on the North roof.

  If you have split system AC that is the most power efficient heating option especially when gas price in Australia is not cheap. 2.5kW Split system only need 700-800W in heating mode.
  
  Put it in layman terms, when you run those $15 fan heater or oil heater it consumes 2000W, that means running 1 of those heater is equal to running 3 split system.
  
  You will save your electricity bill for those usage during day time that your solar system is generating power. Currently battery is not worth it, 7kw battery cost $8-$10k and you merely save the difference between FIT and retail rate ~16c/kwh (~26cents (retail rate) - FIT 10.2cents)

  Never heard of the panels before, 370 Watt is impressive though. But a quick google seems to indicate ZNShine don't have an Australian office which means if Sunline energy goes out of business and you don't know who the importer is then you might be left stranded without anyone having to honor the warranty.
  
  Growatt are cheap inverters but 10 years warranty is the same as the premium inverters offer anyway.
  
  The installation is where it gets tricky, shonky installation job's can cause house-fires, cheaper companies often use subcontractors for their work and some of this work can be really poor (see crapsolar facebook page for images of this)

    Nowadays installer can't get away with it. After the installation done, there will be an independent inspector come to inspect the job to see if it follow the regulation requirement, he will not sign off it the installation was not done properly.
    - donkcat on 03/08/2020 - 16:07
      
      The inspection is a joke, they don’t get on the roof, in the roof, run a basic test at inverter and switch board, doesn’t really check the quality
      - Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 03/08/2020 - 16:11
        
        @donkcat: They did get to the roof, they will check if the installer got enough gap from the gutter and the ridge line of your roof.

        @donkcat: I can't say about others but we haven't got any such installation. Our installers even refuse to do such installation that may not pass the inspection in a conservative approach. They didn't want to take the risk and have to come back and re-do the job.
        
        donkcat on 03/08/2020 - 19:08
        
        @samehada: The question remains if you did would the electrical inspector flag the issue, I’d suggest they wouldn’t. There is also the conflict of interest that the certifier is also paid by you.
        
        Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 03/08/2020 - 20:09
        
        @donkcat: as I stated above, inspector will not pass it. There is no reason why he should risk his licence for something he get no benefit of. It is also not in company interest to get dodgy installation. How is it a conflict of interest of inspector and installer when their interest doesn't align?
        
        donkcat on 03/08/2020 - 21:35
        
        @samehada: Will your inspector pass it, I have no idea. Have inspectors passed shonky work in the past, yes they absolutely have and it instills no confidence when I see inspectors not get in roof spaces or get on roof tops to do their solar inspection. It's a conflict of interest because the inspector is expected to ensure installers meet the standards but the installer is also the one that pays their income. If they make life too difficult for the installer then the installer will get a different inspector.
        
        Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 04/08/2020 - 00:45
        
        @donkcat: Again, I can't say for other installers or your experience with other installers. If you cannot trust the inspector then you just have to check it yourself.
        
        In my experience I don't trust any of the tradies here doesn't matter how much you pay. I checked in roof attic and the installation on my roof by myself.
        
        donkcat on 04/08/2020 - 07:06
        
        @samehada: That’s the sad reality though, people shouldn’t have to inspect the installs to try and determine if it’s up to standard, most people don’t know what to look for.

Just so i don't go to a competitor, have you heard of these panels?
18x Leapton Solar Mono PERC Half Cell 370W High Efficiency Panels for 6.6kw

In terms of rating, would it be better or worst than the panels
your 6.6kW ZNShine 370W High-Efficiency Solar Panels

Do you have an offer with Jinko 370kw panels?
- Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 08/08/2020 - 22:00

  Jinko Cheetah 370W efficiency is 20.22% with 12year product warranty
  
  ZNShine 370W efficiency is 20.31% with 15year product warranty.
  
  For size
  - Jinko Cheetah 370W is 1839 x 995 mm
  - ZNShine 370W is 1755 × 1038mm
  
  This makes a hugh difference since Jinko panel is longer in length and with some roof you can't fit 2 rows of panels, which in that case you can't fit all 18panels with Jinko but you can with ZNShine.

Hi OP, messaged you on Saturday but haven't heard back yet.

I'll probably need a 3 phase setup (or micro-inverters?), panels for N, W and E.

What would the cost roughly be?

This was posted 3 years 8 months 17 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
