Domestic Solar PV Quotes 2022 - No PM requests - See Mod note post #1

Could you please tell me where do I find SaaS, from a quick Google, I'm only finding a company that does commercial only properties,thanks

Has any ever got this message on there solis cloud when trying to add logger

"The SN number has already been registered to other plants"

I have tried to set up on an app and also via cloud but no joy -

Any help would be appreciated

thanks

I registered it to a solis app first and wasnt keen on that app, so tried it on cloud

I noticed that some companies offer 12 year warranty for solar panels, other offer 25 years. Doing some research, I found out that there are 2 types of solar panels - N type and P type (12 years warranty). Is it much concern to choose the cheaper P type panels, rather than N type? Thank you

Hi, can people please PM me recommended installers in the Leinster area(Kildare/Dublin area).

Got my first quote yesterday and thought it was very overpriced.

Thanks in advance

Go back and haggle!

It was €7600 for a 12 panel system with no battery or €6900 for 10 panels.

I have asked for a full breakdown and specification from the supplier and am awaiting the email.

Yes. Thank god I found this forum.

Will get for specification comparison purposes anyway

Would anyone be able to PM the details of the Enniskillen crowd?

Thanks,

Quote recurved this morning.

What are people's thoughts?

12 PANELS 370 WATT 4.4KW JA SOLAR

6KW SOLIS HYBRID INVERTER

5 KW PURE DRIVE BATTERY

WI FI DONGLE

TOTAL 11k

I assume this is pre grant. Not good at all. I had a bigger system put in for over 3k cheaper.

Look elsewhere for better quotes

There's no battery grant anymore - it's finished unless already approved.

As for the number of panels, look at a minimum of about 4kWp worth since you have a Zappi. But after that, you need to have somewhere to use the power generated, or somewhere to store it. Several YouTubers seem to be recommending storage being twice your panels total

So I have it narrowed down to 2 quotes, but sharing 3 quotes so people can see the variation of the quotes

20 Panel System €17,100 then after the grant it would be €14,500

- 1 x Solis 6kw Hybrid Inverter

- 1 x Weco 5.3kw Battery

- 1 x Eddi (Hot Water Diverter) (Worth it? I already have an Geothermal system in place for hot water)

7.9kw Solar PV Array with 5.3kw Weco Battery

- 20 x REC Alpha 395w (7.9kw)

20 Panel System €14,986  then after the grant it would be €12,386

KW 8 PV array capacity

20 * Trina 400 Wp solar module

Solis RHI-6.0-48ES-5G inverter incl WiFi logger

2* Dyness 5.1 KWh battery (total 10.2KWh)

20 Panels System €12,950, then after the grant it would be €10,575

7.2 kw with 360 watt REC panels

10kwh of puredrive battery

6kw solis hybrid inverter

I'm thinking of going with the middle quote because they are a local installer, but I will have to work on them with the price. Anyone have any other comments?

I went back to the company that gave me quote 1 to say I have a cheaper quote which also includes REC panels. They said that the REC Alpha panels are not comparable with the twin peak panels. To me, they might not be comparable, but €4000 does not cover that difference.

I'd agree with Jonathan there - as would most of the people who have installed from suppliers removed from their local county. Sure, it's "handy" to have a guy that can call around within an hour, but in reality, you don't need it. If it was €200-300 yeah sure, supporting your local folks makes sense. €1000-1500, hmmm I know where I'd be spending that difference (more panels) ... or on a high stool in my "local" (excuse the pun)
