    Hi all,

    I am tossing around two quotes for a panel and battery installation and I am trying to get to grips with brands as I enter the solar knowledge base. What I know from EVs is to watch out for the usable kWh from any battery.

    I have two companies which have provided the lowest cost quotes.

    Company A offer:

    • 5.3 kWh Weco battery (W5K3XPLV)
    • Datasheet says it has an "up to 100%" depth of discharge.
    • Cost is 1469 euro
    • Plus 10001 euro for 18 Jinko 435 watt panels and Solis inverter (JKM435N-54HL4R-B and S6-GR1P5K)
    • 11470 grand total (deposit is 4588)

    Company B offer:

    • 5.12kWh Dyness battery (no model number given)
    • Some Googling shows a data sheet for a similar battery which has a 90% depth of discharge or 4.6kWh usable.
    • Cost is 1250 euro.
    • Plus 9450 euro for 18 Jinko 430 watt panels and Hypontech inverter (no model numbers given)
    • 10700 grand total (deposit is 2000)

    Company B has a few boardsies approval based on the recommended installer list. Company A is not on the list, but has a very impressive quote website, and has quite a few informative blogs, as well as solid Google reviews.

    Am I over thinking the battery side? Some posts here recommended the Weco over the Dyness. Is 219 euro worth 0.8kWh extra? Perhaps, but Company A are charging a wee bit more for the panels.

    Many thanks for the advice. I am looking for the best value and return.
