Copied someone's template here, but quotes from 2 suppliers. Last one is just supplier 2 with no battery.

Conorkcp · 01-09-2022 3:49pm

Hi, considering going with this spec:

22 x 340w JA panels = 7.4 kwp

Solis 6kw hybrid inverter

No battery/eddi etc.

Total including VAT 11,500

Grant - 2,400

Net - 9,100 euro

Does this sound ok?

The Waxbill · 01-09-2022 4:04pm

Hi Delboy5, would you mind sending me the supplier for that quote, looks good.

Sounds good in theory, price etc. But the lack of a battery/Eddi will mean that you will be exporting a lot in the summer. With the FIT, this isn't as bad it was in years gone by, but I assume you have the usage for 7.4Kwp in panels? It's on the big side (which is great to see) . Perhaps you have an EV or planning one?

I have got similar quotes to conorkcp in recent days. As in larger sized system without batteries. I asked for hybrid inverter. Am i best with sofar, as Huaweii is limited to their own batteries or a small amount of brands?

Totally agree with you BD. That's exactly what I'd do too. It's all about the engine of your system, and in this case that's the number of panels. Big systems make loads of kwh.

Conorkcp · 01-09-2022 10:22pm

Thinking long term. Planning to put in the max amount of panels I can fit in one go to avoid needing scaffolding again etc. I will put in batteries down the line, I have been following the DIY battery thread.

Manion · 01-09-2022 10:31pm

I started to look into this again, got quoted today 1375 euro per kWh for a 8Kwh 20 panel set up with a 6 kWh invertor. Extra 5K for a 5kWh battery.

Seems on the more expensive side for the battery and panels. Prices are after grant.

I think that solar price is good for the current market. I paid more per kwh in Dublin when placed the order a few months back. But we had to use 3 small roofs to max it out so our install time was longer (meaning more labour costs). We only can fit 5kwp so maybe you'd be expecting a lower price as getting 8, not 5. It's work haggling with them to see will they drop it of throw in some panels installed FOC. Or push to get a closer install date if they won't move on price. Get another quote or 2 to benchmark if that's the only one.

Battery price of 1kwh for 1k seems good too (I don't have a battery yet)

supue · 02-09-2022 11:23am

Got my first quote this morning from a local supplier.

20 x 360w Solis panels with WiFi

2.4kWh battery

6kWh invertor

No hot water diverter

7.2Kwh setup

€14.9K after grant - seems on the high-side based on some of the quotes I'm seeing here. I'll have an electric car running off it, and a second in the coming years.

poker--addict · 02-09-2022 1:24pm

7.2kw x 1.2 = 8,640euro

2.Kw battery = 1200

Your after grant price should be about 10,000, plus or minus 500 I would suggest.

poker--addict · 02-09-2022 1:25pm

Trina or suntech panels. I guess it makes no odds?

Kingoftench · 02-09-2022 1:34pm

Could you pm me the company too please it looks really good

incised · 02-09-2022 2:24pm

Hey all

I got the first one

Any thoughts?

No water diverter as i have no immersion heater (combi boiler)

I thought the panel output is a bit low compared to what's on the market

Thanks

5k for a 5kWh battery? That's a rip off.

Manion · 02-09-2022 5:55pm

It's a, we don't want the business quote.

This is the grant section.

Hellrazer · 03-09-2022 12:10am

Does anyone here have any affiliation with SAAS

Ive emailed multiple times, rang multiple times and havent even gotten an acknowledgement from them - not one call back or email reply.

If this is the way they do business its a bit concerning if something did go wrong with the system.. I understand that they are probably inundated with calls but jesus at least acknowledge an email or return a phone call.

DrPhilG · 03-09-2022 12:38am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119562802#Comment_119562802

Yeah that makes sense. Looking at the spec I had figured around €9.5k to be a good price after grant. You're looking at €9.75k so close enough.

If you ask, ***** will supply 410w panels for same overall KW price.

Jonathan · 03-09-2022 8:31am

No naming installers, please.

Zenith74 · 03-09-2022 9:32am

x16 410W JA panels

5kW GivEnergy hybrid inverter

5.2kWh GivEnergy battery

No immersion diverter needed

Single aspect in Dublin

€11895incVAT after grant

This feels a little expensive (€2k over maybe?) compared to other quotes right, though not sure if Dublin is more expensive?

jkforde · 03-09-2022 1:25pm

overpriced, way better value out there but you may have to wait for installation by 6 months

poker--addict · 03-09-2022 3:10pm

7.6KW Panel System, no battery.

19 x 400w solar panels
5kw hybrid inverter (battery ready)
Online monitoring platform
Notification to ESB Networks by nc6 form
Supply, fit and install

Total cost €10,500 (pre-grant).

Less than the rule of thumb. Option of battery is way over rule of thumb cost. Funnily, I have the opposite dynamic with a second installer.

bullit_dodger · 03-09-2022 3:35pm

It just goes to show though, that if you shop around, you can match the formula there or there abouts even in this climate. So when I see people saying that the formula is wrong.... you ain't trying hard enough :-)

hairyslug · 03-09-2022 4:18pm

How accurate is the Europa site, mainly the system loss is set to 14%.

We are looking at SAAS and while our quote for 13 panels and eddi was a bit higher than a previous poster here, it’s still looking a lot more affordable (compared to a finance offer from our electric supplier) for those of who haven’t got the capital to pay upfront

Manion · 03-09-2022 4:26pm

Ive got quotes with system loss set to 2%.

graememk · 03-09-2022 9:06pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119565509#Comment_119565509

Leave the settings as default (inc the loss)

It's pretty accurate, I usually beat it, it's a prediction on historical observations.

Manion · 03-09-2022 11:10pm

Quote this evening:

8Kwh Longi Panels,

4Kwh WeCo battery.

Solis 6k inverter

11400 after grant.

I think it's a good quote. The Solis seems to support emergency power outage. Doesn't Seai grant only apply to up to 8kwH? Looking at the space it seems I could get another five panels, or at least another two.
