Will do 👍

What do people make of this offer? Sigenergy system is also setup for v2h bidirectional system for compatible EV's down the line

About €1200 more than the same system but with 5kWh Battery, so there or thereabouts. If I wanted to KISS I should buy a 30 year old car with wind up windows etc, rather than something modern over the last few changes?

I would definitely consider a v2h EV such as EV9. The potential to never again pull another unit that wasn't solar or off peak is very appealing tbh. For a system that will take 5+ years to payback and hopefully run for many more I think a bit of futureproofing is a good idea. Obviously that's not included in the price but can be added easily down the line due to the modular design. Who knows what way the electricity market will go the way the world is right now? A couple of years ago the UK was facing planned power cuts due to shortages.

If you are going this route get the electrician to buy the panels + other equipment and price the full job supply and install and he can 0% rate the everything.

That being said I was looking at going down this route with my electrician and in the end it was more hassle and probably would have saved little. You also need a roofer, there is a lot more work for the roofer than the electrician in a solar install. The roofer likely won’t be used to it so will take longer - same for the electrician. Overall it made more sense to go with an establish solar company after I sat down and thought it all through.

Hi all, any comments on the below system or price? Thanks in advance

4.35kW system (10 panels)

The following would be included:

10x Jinko 435w Panels

Projoy Fire Safety switch

Van Der Valk mounting system

Solis 5kW hybrid inverter

All necessary ancillary equipment

Fully installed and commissioned

SEAI Grant paperwork included

BER assessment included

Safe electric certification

Initial cost €7,000 (VAT is @0% for all domestic installations)

Grant of €2,100

Net cost €4,900

Seems a very good quote, wouldn't mind knowing who the installer is.

Reading through this I was just wonderiing: Is victron not a top brand anymore?

New memeber, just trying to figure stuff out :D

Hi, basic cost question here, I have no detail of the specifics of the parts to be supplied.

Quotation for 2kw system (5 panels, roof space limited without any options to locate elsewhere), 2.4kw battery, inverter etc etc.

7500 inclusive of grant.

Expensive?

Thanks

So it's 9250 (without grant) for 5 panels and half a battery? I would run 5 miles from whoever gave you this quote. We've seen some cowboy quotes here, but this one really takes the biscuit.

Try plugging that into the David hunt calculator which is a good starting point when getting quotes.

Get lots of quotes to help you decide.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi first time commenter long time reader,

Looking for help with companies in my area,

Finding a good few companies done want to touch my roof (blue Bangor slates) and the ones that do (4 so far out of 9) are averaging 8k for 10 panels 435w, water heater and no battery,

Calculator says it's 2k over, I don't was to pay premium if possible

Any way I'm in centre Louth area, looking for any help with companies you would recommend, have tried a lot of what's already posted

If you join the Facebook group with 55k members, you will get great advice on quotes and naming of actual companies that is not allowed on boards.

Both websites were a great help when I was researching solar

Looks like a Huawei inverter with a sticker on the top. Maybe the installer adding branding?

Thanks for sharing, they are good quotes. My brother in law got a quote for a similar system for €13k after grant. When I showed him your post and he showed it to his installer, they magically dropped their quote to about €8k
