Solar panels- DIY- links?

I have mine ordered from Yangtze solar, total package including 14 panels (425w), wires, hybrid inverter, roof brackets, shipping etc: approx €2500k

Direct from China. It takes about 6/8 weeks.

Not sure yet.

I have a customs agent who will process the delivery for €85

Vat @23% and duty payable at port

Yes. Just looking back at exact figures, its usd$2876 roughly €2480

Just out of curiosity is that hybrid inverter certified to be connected to ESB Networks?

I think its going to be a spring job at this stage. Was chatting to the SAAS owner recently about configuration.

Suggested I don't get a hybrid inverter but I'll probably add batteries before they become incompatible with the inverter in a few years time.

Is there a parts list anywhere for a DIY ground mounted system?

Yes he sent me the certification needed before I ordered

Hi, if at all possible could you supply breakdown of parts and costs?

Like a screenshot of order?

Would be really appreciated as just starting to explore this stuff.

Thanks so much for that.

Gives me great starting ground for consideration.

Looking forward to hear about how the rest of it goes for you.

Have you looked locally? Rexel or Kelliher’s have shops around the country and will give you a full parts list if you tell them what you are looking for. Bought 400w panels off them recently for less than 140 a panel. Unless the import option was massively cheaper I’d prefer to have somewhere local to go back to if I was short anything or had any problems

Rang Kellihers today and they have 395w Trina panels for 140 plus vat. I assume vat is 13.5% and not 23%.

Are Trina panels good quality?

Could be moving to 0-5% in the short(ish) term.

EU adopts directive allowing reduced VAT on several goods, including solar panels – pv magazine International (pv-magazine.com)

Dunno if it's worthwhile for you to hold off until that decision is in? No idea when that might actually translate to lower prices for us consumers.
