20 x 320 W JA Solar Tier 1 Panels
5KW Goodwe Inverter - WiFi - Battery ready - 10 years Warranty
Fully installed

$2,999 - (Single phase meter, single storey in Perth Metro area)

Other brands of panels and inverters available on request. ABB add $500 Fronius add $700.

Anybody can sell… will they keep your system running and your electricity bills down?

This is why e-Solar supply only established brands from reputable manufacturers with proven record, not to mention experienced installers.

It takes few hours to install these systems professionally, but much less for cheaper hurried job with leaks when the rains come (this is probably why we might be slightly more expensive sometimes).

We are usually quite competitive …apples for apples and beyond, always trying our best to meet clients expectations.

Any time you call there is a person answering the phone addressing any questions or clarifications you might have, not to mention prompt technical support.

e-Solar has been involved exclusively in Solar and Renewable Energy for over 30 years. Hopefully we must be doing something right.

    What are the electricity costs vs supplier payback rates currently?

    Something like 25c p/kw, vs electricity you feed in 11c or so?

    Not worth it as putting $3000 in the bank @ 3% compounding makes more sense to me.

    • Krazyy on 15/09/2018 - 17:57

      Can you please explain the calculations for that? I am genuinely interested.

      • [Deactivated] on 15/09/2018 - 23:57

        With risks of inverter failure after warrantee period. Hail damage, even theft, and roof structural damage. In the ten years'ish to recover your investment, a deposit account @ 3% will have made about $1000.
        You will still have the aged solar income, but I can buy a new solar system having a third deposit doing nothing but banking money for 10 years. And having taken no risk and having the $1k cash available.
        Anyway, it's not a big deal, but the fact of cost plus risk, to make 75% of feedin power profit to a utility company is insulting personally.
        Just saying what I think.

        • bamzero on 16/09/2018 - 04:06

          It shouldn't take 10 years to recover the cost.
          If you are going to feed in all of your generated power, solar might not be a good option. Depending how you use it, you stand to save a lot more.

          As an example, I'm in WA with 6kw on 5kw inverter installed last December. As of today, it has generated/saved just shy of $1000, averaging around 30% consumption rate (Fronius with smart meter, highly recommended so you can actually see what's going on)

          It should be reasonable to expect at $3000 you would recover your cost in under 3 years (and of course power prices are rising every year).

          I can't speak for the reliability of the Goodwe though, I believe they have 5 year warranty, optionally 10, so long as they are still around by then.

    • donkcat on 15/09/2018 - 18:07

      This system should produce over 22kw a day on average, now lets just say you somehow use zero energy during the day and feed it all back in then 22kw at 11c is $2.42 a day, this returns $882 a year. After 4 years your $3000 compounding interest has returned $3376 and the solar panels have returned $3533.2.

      So in theory unless you plan on moving home within a couple of years then the solar is a better investment than the bank. However there is a bit of risk attached, the FIT of 11c is probably not sustainable if the current rate of solar uptake continues, not at least until we have some storage options to utilize excess energy in the grid. If I recall there are already some days in SA where the wind is blowing strong, the sun is out, they are exporting maximum energy possible through the interconnector to Vic and yet they have excess energy from solar going to waste.

          Oh ok, in that case it would be 7 years assuming you use zero of the energy yourself before it comes out ahead of the 3% bank interest.

          @donkcat:

          It's a bit of a roundabout way of looking at it though.
          1. If you are a 20kw user and you can defer 15kw to daytime ….you end up paying approx 75cents (usage) a day instead of 4 dollars.
          2. You pump your leftover green (daytime) energy back into the grid which makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
          3. You get a bit frustrated that the power company can charge your neighbors 26 cents for your is input
          4. You have another hobby obsessing about your daily yield.

          @zoner:

          Oh for sure, just wanted to point out to username02 that at absolute worst case how the solar stacks up against money in the bank. It's not that difficult to alter habits and put timers on things to maximise your power usage during times of solar output.

        • zoner on 15/09/2018 - 18:45

    • Associatede-Solar @ e-Solar on 15/09/2018 - 20:32

      You sure? Let's see 3000 in the bank at 3% would be $90. If your solar system would save you only $100 a bill it works out $600 a year instead?

      • rompastompa on 15/09/2018 - 22:19
        +1

        I think you're forgetting that the bank will be $3000 + interest, rather than spending $3k to save $600pa.

        I can't be bothered working out the maths, but solar will be ahead ~ 7yrs?

        • Associatede-Solar @ e-Solar on 15/09/2018 - 22:31

        So in the bank wins.

        Year 1: Bank $3090, Solar $600
        Year 2: Bank $3180, Solar $1200
        Year 3: Bank $3270, Solar $1800
        etc etc

        Do not forget the solar maintenance costs.

        • Associatede-Solar @ e-Solar on 16/09/2018 - 13:35

          So according to you all the people who are putting solar on their roofs are throwing their money away and should instead leave them in the bank? Forgetting that eventually the system will pay itself off while electricity prices keep going up…

          As far as I know there has not been a Royal Commission on Solar…but just had one on banks?

        • Snoozer on 17/09/2018 - 16:05

          Don't forget to add CPI and rising energy costs.

          So the money in the bank will be worth approx 2% less every year.

          According to this link (https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Depart…) energy prices have risen by 80% between 2003 and 2013, so the amount you'll save on your energy bills will continue to increase as the years pass.

        Does the WA government offer additional subsidies because these prices are pretty cheap, this is inferior gear in this deal but it's priced at 46c a watt, in Victoria with a reputable supplier, decent panel and Fronius inverter you can expect to pay $1-$1.10 a watt (not including the latest vic rebate)

    A true hybrid inverter at this cost is too good to be true!

    Still, barry basic system under 3k with warranty, might be a good deal for some.

  • RedFoxAU on 15/09/2018 - 19:47

    what is your or your installers EC licence number?

    my concern would be its such a low price that the quality of the install will be rushed and/or cheaply done such as external conduit.

    the hardware is “low-end” and not a fan of middleman sales companies personally

    my advice is speak/meet onsite with your local electrical contractor that does solar and look at quality hardware such as solaredge or fronius inverters and lg/qcell/winaco/rec panels.
    Heaps of panel reviews out there just do your research

    • Associatede-Solar @ e-Solar on 15/09/2018 - 20:35

      Free to take the action you like. I guess reviews about a company say a lot more! LG,,Winaico? Double the price…now is that really worth it?
      QCells don't compare to JA or Trina Solar these days….check the stats

      • RedFoxAU on 16/09/2018 - 09:02

        I believe its worth it, if they last longer and stay away from landfill.

        back to the question what is your or your installers EC number?
        After all they will be installing it for low payment - be nice to know who they are, that they are electrical contractors and can research their quality of work.
        You would have to admit there are installers out there that do an average job.

        • Associatede-Solar @ e-Solar on 16/09/2018 - 13:27

          West State Electrics one of them. However I think the best judges of the work our installers do are our clients with their reviews. Again more important which seems to be ignored, we have been running since 2003. How many solar companies can claim that? Finally from the questions you ask you are obviously a competitor trying your best to discredit this offer. It's unfortunate you have to get personal and so negative on the brands suggested which are very good value for money. Not everyone can afford $8000 or more for LG panels and Fronius inverter.

        • RedFoxAU on 16/09/2018 - 13:47

          not a competitor mate just a customer who spent a lot of time researching prior to purchasing with some good electrical knowledge.

          Scarey some of the sales companies and installers out there when I was looking.
          If there isnt much money going to the installer you cant expect quality- just smash it in as quickly as possible.

          not personal at all just sharing my experience/knowledge/research.

But panels prices are coming down and we are only passing the lower prices to the clients without compromising installation quality.
