get several more quotes.

This is a an indication of what the hardware cost is :

14 x Jinko 450W Panels + 5KW Hybrid Inverter & 5.12KWH Battery - Steel – Midland Battery Centre

granted you are getting another battery, but its nto that much.

if you say a generous €1k fro roofer and €1k for sparks that,s a €5k mark up.

Is it worth it getting an EV charger during the initial solar PV installation rather than at a later stage? No EV car at the moment, but if it's too much hassle to install it later, we might get it now.

depends on what kind of price they charge.

Then its not worth your while, you are probably better off getting more quotes for solar too.

Seems high to me

I got a quote from one company incl grant of 6700 for

13 x 440 panels, 5kw Polar ESS inverter and 10.4KW of batteries. No BER.

The Solis inverter and Dyness batteries seem to be a little more expensive than Polar, but probably not more than €1,000.

I have put a request in for Electric Ireland quote. My gut tells me the free battery is factored into the rest of the quote. Just a marketing gimmick. Nobody is giving you shift if almost €3k. Most of that quote and any quote, is not materials, it's labour and mark up

Solar panel instalation is a cash cow for companies. It's very difficult to compare quotes across suppliers as they either have different panels, inverters or batteries.

I got three quotes off one company; solar only, 5kw battery and 10kw battery. All had different inverters and the two with batteries, were from different manufacturers. I can't really compare one against the other, except for the total cost.

Hi. Any thoughts on this quote? No BER included, and prices are after grant

MTK_1966

A company form Enniskillen area offered this:

17x 445w JA =7.56kwp system
Solis hybrid inverter
5.1kwh Dyness battery

Price 8600 excl grant

After grant the price is 6800

Is that a decent price?

Hi all,

Just got our first quote for solar PV and would really appreciate some opinions on the cost. Can only fit 9 panels on south aspect

Panels - 9 Luxor Solar, LX-445M/182R188-108+GG(1500V). €7695

Inverter - Solar 5kW hybrid. €595

Battery - SolaX Triple Power 3kWh. €1595

Pre grant cost - €9885

Post grant - €8085. Have also been advised may need a number of optimisers due to shadow from chimney (these are €120 each but not sure home many yet). Additional battery would be €1395 and changeover switch €795.

Very new to the search but we think this quote is on the higher end of the range we’ve seen. Local company with excellent reviews and unlimited post installation support.
