Hi guys,
Any advice on which company to choose to install the solar system(looking for something that will last around 10 years so quality and price is important). We use a lot of electricity average of 1200.00 Kwh per month :|, any suggestion on the type of the system and the panels would be appreciated. Im currently with simply energy with 40% on electricity.
suburb Mickleham 3064 vic.
Thanks in advance

do some reading
.Better still, do lots of reading.
Pick a local reputable firm, not one of these solar sales company that use the cheapest parts and contractors they can find. These are the ones on TV that advertise the cheapest prices and the biggest kWh ratings.
Most importantly don’t just get any old solar system, get it designed for your usage.
Avoid ones with really cheap simple looking websites they are usually the bad ones with dodgy practices and installs.
In Sydney, Eurosolar was one of them but they liquidated or phoenixed into another company as far as I know aka closed business and started another one with different name.
Run by Indians.
As always if it seems too good to be true it probably is.

This is relevant how? They were a bad business …sure - but whats the dot connection to this? Seems an odd thing to say as I wasn't aware we were referencing the nationality of any businesses discussed on OzB. And FWIW I'm not Indian myself. :-)
Nothing bad just a note I made.. kind of like when any overseas company uses fake english names sometimes it is ok sometimes it is a giveaway sign.
Also may or may not be a sign of a phoenix or new front business of theirs especially if they are lazy enough to use the same people.
Gave you a neg for descrimination. Don’t say if you have nothing good to say.
Sorry wasn't meant to be discriminatory but can see how it is.. Was just trying to make sure nobody gets shafted by the same mob and the only way to distinguish them is by their cheap old school MSY looking website and well their "staff" which is all one demographic.. Read up on Eurosolar in Sydney I think only mainly and you will see both on whirlpool and ozbargain.. They have resurrected again probably to dump the mess associated with the previous abn so just giving a heads up to current now or future solar shoppers so they don't get shafted as well.
thanks guys for your contributions. I will start with solarquotes website it looks like it is a good starting point to start with.

Moreland has a scheme to hrlp advise. Maybe check with your council if they have something like this
We are going with essential solar from friends' recommendations, 2 mates went ahead with them and their feedbacks were consistent with the online reviews I have read. The guy we were dealing with is also really helpful so cross fingers we selected a good company.
yeah got a call from them still haven't decided so far,please update when they finish the installation
we used essentail solar no complaints everything went smoothly and the contractor who did the install mentioned to my wife that they were one of the better companies that he has worked for.also look at getting greater than 5kw panels should be able to run 6 - 6.5 kw on a fronius inverter
I used beacon solar.
As they are part of beacon lighting, I am sure they will last long.
