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

Given thats a hybrid inverter does that quote include a battery or not ?

No battery.

Hi do you mind pm me the company please and thank

Hi - Got a quote I'm happy with (5.6KW, no battery, Solis inverter, 14 panels, 7K after grant). However the panels are Leapton and I was wondering if anyone had any experience of them? The company also offers Jinko but they've specced Leapton ones - they seem fine on paper (25 year warranty on power output) but there is scant information about them. Does it make any difference if the warranties are similar?

Can I get opinions on a quote please. I requested a large hybrid inverter to add to the system in future.

10×410w Jinko panels

6kw Solis inverter with wifi dongle and all associated works

€6500 after grant (Customer to get own BER)

sorry... just want to vent

I am giving up on installing solar - having contacted over 20 installers the market is screwed at the moment - maybe things will change and i will re-visit the idea next year - but it will probably be even more over-priced... who knows.

My plan was to have 16 panels + inverter - the cheapest quote i have is €11,400 - the most expensive €15,600

With solar I would estimate saving €750 / year - so at these inflated prices the payback stretches out to 10 - 15 + years - which no longer makes sense.

Solar is not worth is at any price - and dont believe the numbers that the sales people throw at you - make sure to do your own calculations before evaluating any quotes.

You need to elaborate more on the system and if grant has been deducted from those prices so people can give an opinion.

Missing out on the next 3 months wouldnt really matter as Nov/Dec/Jan are the worst returns for producing energy for solar. If you got set up in Feb early march then I wouldnt mind waiting. You wont really miss much with the measly winter returns. My installion wont be until end of Jan/ early Feb as there is a long waitlist.

Hi,

The forum is a great source of information. Thanks to all.. The constant checking for quotes while a novelty at the start is now painful. I'm dreaming about solar panels at this stage. What do you think of these quotes. At this stage I would just love to go ahead before I talk myself out of it. The battery is 5kWh,

The Panels are Longi or Sharp, battery and inverter Huawei. I may go to 15 panels which would add approx 2k onto the price. Thanking you in advance.

Seems to be a lack of responses to quotes here lately? Is Facebook winning out?

Probably it is, this Boards.ie thing is very restricted. People want answers and information quickly.

What's the best Facebook group to look for now. Or any new ones of interest?

Asked for a hybrid inverter as I'll probably add a pylontech battery next year if I have the funds, I have a EV so I'll put as much as possible into that as well

Luckily all panels should fit on one side of the roof which is bang on south facing! :)

No idea about the best Facebook group, joined one just for information but this is where I got my advice and guidance for my install. You were part of that so thanks. If someone can look at the quote @Ginger83 has above I would be grateful, I can't because I gave advise via pm and would be biased!

If its the crowd from Enniskillen, (which I'm guessing it is) they're charging ~e400 per additional panel these days. So even adding 2 extra panels would bring you down to sub e1500 per kw installed. 4 more gets you to about e1400 per kw. Not bad, not great.
