Domestic Solar PV Quotes 2024 - No PM requests - See Mod note post #1

Go for the Trina, they are both excellent quotes if you trust the installer. Do they have a good history of reviews?

Just remember you will be tied to a very limited brand of batteries if you want to add them down the road with the Huawei inverter, just their own and LG I think.

4 kwH system (monoperc), 5.1 kwh battery for east and west facing roof, some overshading for 16,000 before grant.

About twice what it should be so run. Use the calculator as a rough guide. http://davidhunt.ie/solar/

Run a mile from them and don't look back. An absolutely outrageous, cowboy ripoff quote.

It is for a family member. She would not be tech savy and she asked for no battery but they insisted a battery is compulsory. Sounds like overselling to me.

Back like in the old days, where ethnic minorities persuaded you that you needed a new roof or tarmac driveway.

Stories like this make it a shame that you cannot name names (not like facebook pages)

Looks good, I'm not sure how much benefit bifacial panels will be on a roof mounted system so maybe see if normal panels will bring the price down even more. If not it's still a great price.

No experience with them but online searches don't show any red flags. Nearly all panels, if not all panels reputable suppliers use here are the same so I wouldn't be overly concerned.

Decent price, if you don't intend selling the house in the next 10 years not much point unless you just want to know how much the solar increases the rating. Put it into the quote calculator for a guide price. http://davidhunt.ie/solar/

Hi all,

I have a quote of 12,900 for:

• 5kWh 12 panel system (Jinko)
• 5.1kWh battery (Dyness)
• SoFar Solar inverter

Notes:

• It is a split system; 7 panels on the East roof, 5 in the West.
• We do not qualify for the grant
• We do have an EV
• We will be home during the Summer so can take best advantage of the week or two sun we get (:p).

They approximate a yearly saving of 1800 euro with 70% usage and 30% being sold to the grid.

I am grateful for advice, and I am enjoying getting up to speed with the technology in recent weeks.

How does this sound?

Edit: David Hunts calculator says look elsewhere.

"No grant applicable. Using the rule of thumb of €1000 per kW of panels, €420 per kWh of battery, that should be about €9242 for that system (after grant). But it's only a rule of thumb. Just don't go above €1300 per kW of panels and €550 per kWh battery (ex VAT), which would give you €11405 after grant.Your quote is ending up at €12900 after grant, which is €3658 beyond what I'd consider ballpark, and €1495 beyond the upper limit of value. Look elsewhere."

It is a 5kWh system, so that works out to around 410 per panel. They said 5kWh was the max you could get for residential, or something along those lines.

I provided the text to the solar quote analyser, which seemed quite clear!

That EU calculator will take some time for me to figure out, but thank you.

Thank you. The quote I got seems more expensive than what I am seeing on this thread, but perhaps only by around 1000 or so but I look forward to some opinions from yourself and other experts.

I will contact a few more installers.

What do the brands sound like?

Here's a quote I got for a similar size system.

It's the lowest quote I've gotten so far.

12 x 435w panels ( Client can select their Tier 1panel of choice -Jinko, Longi, Trina)

• 5 x Tigo optimisers

• 1x Solis Hybrid inverter (5.5kVA).

• K2 Germany Roof mounting equipment

• WECO 5.3kWh (EU battery)

€6,960 after grant
