    A 5kW system for $6800 sounds pretty ordinary. $1 per watt installed is bargain territory.

    • coxymla on 12/08/2015 - 14:39

      For reference I paid $4500 for my 5kw system + $300 to upgrade the inverter to a 3 phase compatible model.

      This was in September 2014.

        Who did you go with?

      • noz on 12/08/2015 - 22:09

        What brand inverter and panels?

      • coxymla on 13/08/2015 - 11:42

        Technaus Solar, Growatt inverter (Chinese), can't remember which brand of Chinese panels.

    20x Suntech Australia Panels (Technology Developed at UNSW Australia)

    Made in China for those curious

    • AssociatedBradfordSolar @ Bradford Solar on 12/08/2015 - 11:46

      Hi Slo20, You are correct. As with most solar panels on the market, Suntech has their manufacturing headquarters in China.

      • Slo20 on 12/08/2015 - 11:48

        I just wanted to make it clear to potential buyers that they weren't made in Australia. For the invertor and rails u mention where they made and manufactured but missed that for the panels.

      • jzx100 on 12/08/2015 - 12:07

        You could've said they are tier 1 panels made in China to make them sound better ;) then again thery are all tier 1 panels when one is trying to sell them lol

    Seems reasonably pricy… And the waffle about CSR ownership is just that.
    CSR could offload the division to a nobody overnight and wipe their hands of any responsibility.

    • AssociatedBradfordSolar @ Bradford Solar on 12/08/2015 - 11:48

      Hi Scubacoles, Thanks for your feedback.

      CSR does not try to position itself to be the cheapest in the market and both our equipment and warranties are in-line with this.

      With regards to CSR Ownership, we are not a privately owned company. CSR is an ASX200 company that is publicly listed. For example, in the unlikely event should we choose to no longer provide solar to the Australian market, your warranties still reside with our corporate company.

      • Slo20 on 12/08/2015 - 11:52

        Not to split hairs but are u saying CSR is 100% Australian owned?

        • AssociatedBradfordSolar @ Bradford Solar on 12/08/2015 - 11:57

          CSR Building Products, yes. Not the sugar side of the business.

        • Slo20 on 12/08/2015 - 12:01
          +2

          @BradfordSolar: as a publicly listed company you cannot make that claim.

      • ESEMCE on 12/08/2015 - 12:03

        Quality components maybe, but arguably not the best components.

        It matters not whether CSR is public or private.. If CSR divests the Solar division and sells it off, warranties would be transferred to the new owner.
        Arguably Bradford solar could just be dissolved like any other Solar Company can and the warranties would dissolve with the "Bradford Solar" company. As far as risk is concerned, it's rather irrelevant who owns the "Bradford Solar" Company.

  • jzx100 on 12/08/2015 - 12:12

    Worked in the Solar industry, best advice I can give is buy the best equipment so you won't need to worry about it failing prior to warranty expiring and needing it replaced. Like my boss use to say, tell them we are giving a 10yr workmanship warranty, 'cos we wont be around for 10yrs to honour them!

    • Slo20 on 12/08/2015 - 12:19

      Hope that's not the boss from Green light solar.

  • Steptoe on 12/08/2015 - 15:58

    Throw in a Tesla Power Wall and this would be a Sweet Deal.

    Who can use 5kW in daylight hours anyway?. Else you get peanuts for the feed-in power (~$0.06kWh)

    • AssociatedBradfordSolar @ Bradford Solar on 12/08/2015 - 20:08

      Hi Steptoe, You re correct, in fact in some cases most retailers will only provide 5 Cent per Kw/h.

      Appliances like ducted air conditioners generally require more than a 5kw system to run them. This size system is great for those that draw a high load of power or wish to run many appliances at once.

      Everyones circumstances are different, we tailor our quotes to a customers needs based on energy consumption, appliance usage and other factors.

      We are looking forward to the release of the Tesla powerwall once its passed the CEC accreditation.

      Regards,
      Bradford Solar.

    • noz on 12/08/2015 - 21:38

      It will be handy though when battery tech becomes affordable .. but who knows when that will be.

      • AssociatedBradfordSolar @ Bradford Solar on 13/08/2015 - 09:43

        Hi Noz, Regarding battery technology, we currently also have a special on our 5KW Micro Inverter system which is also battery ready.

        Enphase is an American based Micro Inverter manufacturer and is releasing their battery storage solution in Q1 2016, will be very different to products like Tesla.

        this is subject to CEC approval.

        Feel free to get in touch as this special is being run across most states of Australia.
