Thanks mate, so many companies I was lost
didn’t have drama for a while
What drama did you have?
These guys have also partnered with Ikea to provide solar packages. Quoting ~$5k for Fronius inverter and Jinko panel 6.6kw system. Is this a good price?
If thats the price not including the VIC rebate then yes, else no
This is the price inclusive of govt rebates
@dogboy: Are you in Victoria? The state has an additional rebate (about 2k) separate from the federal rebate.
I got my 9.3kw Jinko PV system with a 7Kwh Fronius Primo 3phase inverter installed for just under 7k without the State rebate.
Used them also and service was pretty good. Haven't had to do warranty claim yet.
Being in business for the last 5 years isn't an indication that they will be in business the next 5 years.
Pick reputable brands. If the the install company goes under you may still be able to access warranty through the manufacturer
Look at solarquotes.com.au
They have a list of reputable companies that have been vetted by the site owner plus loads of articles so you can fully understand what you need and get the right stuff
You can ask for a quote with your location and what sort of system you're looking for and you'll get emailed some companies who do work on your area who will come to your house and do a quote
solarquotes are paid to list the companies so be very aware.
Go with a local small CEC licenced operator. Check there warranty etc and reviews.
Do not go anywhere near larger companies such as Captain Green - https://captaingreen.com.au/

We got our 6kw system (Jinko/Zever) from them in 2018. I couldn't fault the process or the end result. About the only negative is that Zever has gone broke since then. Good value for $3900
Thank you for this! Trying to get three quotes to have my inverter replaced and panels earthed (installed in 2011, earthing not a requirement back then) and everyone charges $185 - $200 just to come out and quote. Already paid that for the first quote. I don't mind if solarquotes.com.au is paid to list companies, I can do my own research on any company that they recommend. The important thing is that the companies don't charge just to provide the quote.
Yeah none of the guys I got to come out charged to quote
Sparkin Energy has good feedback here
Got mine installed a few weeks ago, very happySame
i am looking to get mine installed by jet solar,lightning solar or renewable solar. not sure which one is good but seems all of them are great .
Solargain
Large tier firm
Did lots of research couple year ago
They came, they install, didn’t have drama for a while
So far so good
Have Jinko Solar Panel and Fronius Inverter
Basically Hyundai Quality Solar Panel and BNW Quality Inverter
Enjoy monitoring my energy usage via Fronius app
Might consider googling “Paladin Solar controller “ for other unique cost saving measure
Good luck
