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

Hello,

Long time reader first time messenger;

Got a quote as follows

16 panels Trina 405

3x2.4KWh Dyness batteries

6KWh Sofar inverter

Eddi Diverter and Dongle

12000 Euro before grant. Any good, average or bad?

Thanks

Regular readers/posters don't even have to ask the name of the company. We recognize the modus operandi. :-) More power to them, but no..... keep smiling, back slowly towards the door, and bin that quote.

I'll send you on a DM with 2x companies. The first one I used myself last summer and found them excellent. The 2nd company is a regular faithful here with the forum members.

I should give you (and others) a heads up that I suspect all installers are probably at the stage of turning away business from the door that they are so busy. It's been building for some time, but with the Ukrainian crisis and consequential MASSIVE hikes in energy prices, along with the good weather gets people thinking of solar......most installers probably have a long lead time (2-3 months?)

Attached the price list from one of the largest solar installers in the country.

I couldn't justify those prices as I'd never see the payback, so in the end I went DIY, 7.5kwp solar panels (20x 375w) with 6kwh solis inverter and 3.5kwh pylon battery

7995euro for everything even the stickers for grant spec.

Spent about 500 on extras, consumer unit, cabling, lift hire, and an electrician to review/bless the install for insurance purposes.

Here's the stats as of 3pm today in Limerick.

(we had the washer dryers going for 2 cycles already today in order to use up the excess so usage is a little higher than normal)

Hey all - just want to get thoughts on this quote:

• 4.44 Kw 12 panels 370 Watt all black (Peimar)
• Huawei Luna 5 Kw battery storage 
• Huawei hybrid inverter 
• WiFi mudulsolar inverter 
• Fireman's switch 
• Roof mounting kit 
• Eddie immersion diverter 
• Scaffolding 

€14460 before grant.

Seems high to me?

@bullit_dodger - would you be able to forward that DM my way as well? Quotes received thus far are nowhere near feasible.

figured as much 😅

@bullit_dodger MAULBROOK can ye DM me any companies ye would recommend? Caveats around lead times/availability understood.

New to this forum and hoping to get some feedback on the following quotation for an 8.2kw ground-mounted array with 5.1kw battery, Eddi Diverter and Zappi car charger....

Would also appreciate any comments on Sun Power panels and Dyness battery efficiency & reliability.

22 X Sun power 375 watt PV panels

1 x ground mounted system

1 x 6KW Solis Hybrid inverter

1 x 5.1KW Dyness battery

1 x Eddi water diverter

1 x WiFi stick

1 x projoy safety switch

1 x energy meter

1 x Zappi car charger

€17450 minus solar grant €2400 minus EV grant €600 = €14,450

Okay, the best I could get was 12679 Euro and got 2 additional panels. I am happy and I feel good about it.

I can pm you the guy's name. Don't know where he gets them from. In the quote he states or equivalent. Good enough for me with the current supply crisis.

Need to change your profile setting.

Thanks

Folks

What do we think , thanks in advance

I got following quote

16 jinko panels 400w 6.4Kw

6Kw Solis inverter

5.1Kw dryness battery

No Eddi needed, BER included

Cost 14000-2400 = 11600

Or 11 panel system 5Kw Solis inverter, 5.1Kw battery, BER 11600-2400 = 9200,

That would mean 4 panels nd associated fittings are costing 2400, or 1500 per Kw.

I think each is about 1k or more too much, what do you think?

I updated and it is 6Kw inverter, and actually 5 additional panels, as its 6.4Kw vs 4.4Kw, but still looks overpriced
