    Also know as the Risen Znshine deal.

    • RubenM on 09/08/2020 - 13:48

      That's actually hilarious!

  • loksmack on 09/08/2020 - 13:55

    Never heard of ZNShine.

    Risen is reputable, but on the low end.

    Same for Growatt.

    I’d probably look to spend a bit more on better quality equipment. After all, it’s going to spend potentially decades on your house so you want it to be reliable.

    • Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 09/08/2020 - 14:04

      I got some generation graph from ZNShine 330W system in VIC here
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/555861#comment-9088059

      You can check the datasheet to compare, if you want any other brands, feel free to send me your detail and I will get the quote for you.

    • yaditya on 09/08/2020 - 20:46

      Could you please advise what the more reputable brands and/or better equipments are?

        This is probably the best resource for those considering solar. There are sections on brands of panels and inverters that are reputable.

        • yaditya on 09/08/2020 - 22:28

      • Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 09/08/2020 - 22:36

        All reviews should be taken with grain of salt. I suggest you first check the spec sheet of the panels, then read further review on the panels. One of the important thing that is usually missed is the size of the panel as well.

        For example
        - Jinko 370W panel is 1839 x 995 mm
        - ZNShine 370W is 1755×1038 mm
        - Risen 330W is 1689 x 996 mm

        This means that Jinko 370 maynot be able to fit as 2 rows on your roof and it means you can't fit all 18x Jinko 370W but you can fit 18x ZNShine 370W or 20x Risen 330W. So this may also need to be taken into account.

        • loksmack on 10/08/2020 - 12:42

          Reviews (by multiple independent sources) are a MUCH better indicator of panel quality compared to the spec sheet.

          What's the point of good specs if the panel dies in 3 years? Reliability is the name of the game in solar.

          Good point about the panel size, but this is something the installer should worry about, not the client.

          • Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 10/08/2020 - 13:21

            @loksmack: If you are savvy enough then you should know that it does affect your system.

            For example,
            - Jinko 370W open voltage is 43.74V
            - ZNShine 370W open circuit voltage is 41.0±3%

            Which means you can only have maximum 12 panels on 1 string for Jinko 370W (Growatt maximum voltage is 550V) but you can have 13 panels with ZNShine 370W.

            This means that in you can fit 13 panels instead of 12 on your North facing roof for example and the rest of the other roof, which affect your system performance.

            Their is no such 1 size fit all review, you need to take into consideration many thing for your own situation if you are really that keen about your solar system.

            • loksmack on 10/08/2020 - 13:42

              @samehada: Intricacies like this aren't really what I was getting at. My point is reliability is the most important factor. I see no independent evidence online that ZNShine are reliable.

              Regarding your point about amount of panels in a string - I'm not an electrician or solar installer, but can't you wire the panels up in parallel in order to not hit the maximum voltage of the inverter string?

              • Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 10/08/2020 - 14:00

                @loksmack: for just 1 panel? I don't think so, you may as well just go with micro inverter but the cost may outweigh the benefit. So you will need to balance out

                I don't know your postcode but I can tell you with the system you got
                "20x Jinko Cheetahs 330W and 5kw Fronius inverter for $4300 after VIC Rebate ($2450 upfront + $1850 Vic Gov loan)"

                With this system, our quote to you should be just $1300 upfront (after VIC Rebate + $1850 interest free loan) if you are in STC Zone 3 ($200 more if you are in STC Zone 4). If you still want me to give you the proposal let me know. Or if you want Jinko Cheetah 370W it is $200 more.

                Your quote is almost double so I suggest you do more shop around to compare.

                • loksmack on 10/08/2020 - 14:06

                  @samehada: That's $4300 all up (after the loan). Your quote undercuts it by $950 (Zone 4).

                  My installer comes highly regarded and has been in the biz for over 10 years. That's not a comment on your business at all - just letting you know my justification.

                  • Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 10/08/2020 - 14:14

                    @loksmack: Yes, your upfront amount in your quote is $2450 and our quote is $1500.

                    Without knowing your exact roof layout and location the above quote is just for standard installation in metropolitan area. There may be extra travel surcharge to your area as well. Just a reference for your comparison.

                  • REDTUTE on 10/08/2020 - 18:35

                    @loksmack: Use your local installer with 10 years of installs and sales up his sleeve.

                    Most of these budget solar installers only use contractors, and then screw the contractors margins so low that there installs are rushed and quite often not to code.

                      @REDTUTE: @REDTUTE: You can have your own opinion but don't talk rubbish when you don't even know how the work is done. Have you got installation done by us? NO. So you just base your rubbish comment on generalisation of some bad installer which has nothing to do with us and just assume it is "often not to code" based on what?

                      Just generalise based some random review that not even yours to start with and not even from Sunline Energy to start with.

                      All of your comments on all the solar deal post, you came to comment all the same rubbish accusing ppl cutting corner when you have no idea or not even done any business with them. Either you have a motive behind or you are just full of it.

    This comment is for ozbargain user to see the true face of the dodgy company that self claim #1 ozb solar company. As you can see above that the comment has been deleted and account is blocked for sockpuppeting comment.

    That company ** Solar is also the one who posted the NSW, QLD deal recently, instead of genuinely offer a good deal for ozbargain, they have decided to play dirty which pretend to be a normal user trying to mislead ppl about this deal and even go so low to directly promote their deal post in this deal pretending as a customer.

    They have also had history of posting deal pretend to post deal as a normal user and hiding the fact that they are associated. You can check his account history to see that.

    To ** Solar, if you are genuinely want to serve the ozbargain community then do it the proper way by competitive deal not by playing dirty tricks like this.
    **(I don't name them here but you will know who it is)

    If you want to deal with a company with such a low moral and ethics ground like this, you may want to think carefully. For now his store has been banned for a number of days by mod so there will not be any deals posted by that company soon.

    From the beginning, I have decided to share good deal on ozbargain since he has charged $980 upfront for Jinko 370W when we only charge $449 which is 50% less and that has made all his next deal post at a competive price.

    Since our pricing is great, I have seen many comments (not in a good way) asking about how old is company time that I didn't even see in the other deal post. This is a public information, our company has been trading since 2015 while that aboved one is from 2018 yet I don't see such comment in his deal post.

    I want ppl here to have a full understanding to make informed decision on the products and system with genuine review not being misled by dirty trick comments.

    • solidussnake on 09/08/2020 - 18:10

      Wow very dirty tactics, have a positive vote and keep up the good work 👌

      Hi mate,

      One of our customers has forwarded this comment to us. I would like to make a few things clear.

      1.) Every post you’ve had on Ozbargain so far has resulted in an argument/ fight/ name calling. You’ve kept referring to ‘other’ solar companies in your posts and keep slandering. We’ve done nothing to you. We are a genuine business that have just been operating on OZB and are more than happy to coexist with you and any other solar company. We have customers to back our claims and are not looking to start fights. You’ve been very argumentative on your posts and avoid any difficult questions. Infact, you sometimes avoid questions altogether, if it suits your narrative. Even when another solar company posted a deal, you immediately commented to start a fight.

      2.) Secondly, even when we first posted on OZB we used to get questions about our company, however, through perseverance, and completing many installs, people no longer feel the need to ask us the same questions. If you honestly think we are writing comments on your post, you’re having a laugh. Initially we used to get 8/10 upvotes, and many tricky questions. Now we average 30 upvotes and positive comments due to our happy customer base. If you honestly believe that we’re ‘faking’ these comments, you’re deluded. We have enough work on our hands to not engage in such activities.

      3.) I don’t understand why you keep commenting on the price. You need to compare apples to apples. For many of our deals, we posted higher end brands such as Fronius/SMA/Trina/Jinko etc. Are you seriously telling me that ZNshine and Jinko are the same? You seem to be obsessed with price bashing and keep commenting on how much ‘cheaper’ you are. Congratulations, we are not in the business of being the cheapest installer. Many of our customers here can vouch for the excellent service and high-quality installation that we are providing for a great price. However, if you are offering lower tier products, for a cheaper price, the choice is up to the customer to make a decision. That is what the OZB community is all about, people having the choice to make their decision.

      4.) We got a sockpuppeting offence on our very first post on OZB (24/01/2020) for upvoting the deal without ticking the disclaimer that we were associated with the store. This was our first post (which was taken down) and have never done such again. I am unsure as to why you are calling us out on your post as our account is not banned from posting. Don’t tempt us, we might post a deal tomorrow ;)

      5.) And finally, the type of comment you just wrote shows more than enough about your attitude and what you intend to achieve. Stop trying to play the ‘good guy’. We have reported your comment for slandering as it is totally unfair for you to make those accusations against us without any proof.

      I wish you all the best with your business.

        Regarding the deal, this is a reasonable system with decent panels, if anyone wants a different brand, I can give the quote for such configuration so don't pull the nonsense apple to apple comparison as I do have offered ppl with price match any offer they have. You have been posting deal here for a while yet getting that positive comments and still want to play dirty.

      • Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 09/08/2020 - 22:06

        ZNShine is Tier 1 product not a crappy panel so don't come here to brand bashing to promote your JASolar which is also a budget brand. You also promoted Seraphim panel and purposely set a lower and now still dare to pull the crap about apple to apple with premium brand. I only respect store that is genuine not for those like you.

        You have been taking advantage of ozbargain member for too long until now, it clearly showed by your Jinko deal that is apple to apple comparison for you.

        And since I have done the Risen deal you have also now set a lower price by your Seraphim deal but it still may not be truely cheaper since you flat out charged $150 for ppl in Zone 3 as well. Don't you dare telling me Seraphim (19.49% efficiency rate) is better brand than Risen (19.6% efficiency rate) spec wise or pulling the price card anymore.

        Review need to be taken with grain of salt, you are clearly in the industry so don't try to play this brand and price card.

        You know full well that you are not supposed to use another account to upvote your own deal yet still decided to engage in such conduct and still pretend that you don't know that conduct is not acceptable.

        This time someone assossiated with you have clearly comment here brand bashing and pretend to be customer asking question and were caught red-handed and your store has been banned for 1 month for doing that.

      • Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 09/08/2020 - 23:29

        Back to your question regarding Jinko 370W vs ZNShine 370W.
        Efficiency rate
        - Jinko Cheetah 370W is 20.22%
        - ZNShine 370W is 20.31%

        Product warrany
        - Jinko 12yr
        - ZNShine 15yr

        You seriously tell me which part makes you think it is better beside paying a higher premium for the "brand"? Or just like a newbie think it is better just because their mate tell them that "brand" is better without even reading the datasheet.

      • dammit on 09/08/2020 - 23:38

  • dammit on 09/08/2020 - 23:35

    I have a daikin 10kw single phase ducted air con (12.5kw heat) which draws 3.59kw power input. Does this mean I can pump it all day while the sun shines for free basically? And is this system big enough to handle it?

    I’m new to solar so don’t understand the 6.6kw then 5kw inverter. Any power demands of the house greater than solar just tick the meter to use grid power ? And any surplus electricity it generates the power company pays me for ? Would I expect power bills after installing this ? What’s an average feed in rebate given these days ? I’m in Sydney and currently using 26kwh a day due to running the central heating whilst working from home.

    How much roof space does this take up?

    Genuinely interested in this. Thanks

    • Associatedsamehada @ sunlineenergy.com.au on 10/08/2020 - 02:51

      Here is the 2 generation graph for my house for your reference
      https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/24969/81874/2-aug.png
      https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/24969/81876/6-aug.png
      https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/24969/81875/9-aug.png

      As you can see in the 2-Aug graph, the solar power generated is over 3000W between 11.30am - 3pm, it means your system will use 3kw from your solar and the just a bit from the grid during this time. Of course this is in VIC, your area may have more sunlight so you may get more solar power than me. Your system may even max out 5kw as in my graph on 6-Aug if you have the enough sunlight. So if you use 3.6kwh and your solar system generate more than that for that period then you won't use any grid power.

      As you can see in the graph on 9-Aug, at a specific time, there maybe cloud cover the sun so even in 1 hour your solar system may generate total more than what you use, you may still draw some power from the grid since there maybe a 5minutes period you draw more power than what your system generated.

      Would you expect a power bill? It depends on your usage and your FIT, if you use much power for heating at night or if you change your lifestyle for example running a dryer during sunny day in winter (it may not enough heat to dry the clothes if you hang it but will have enough sun for solar power to run dryer).

      Some ppl got 20cents FIT in NSW with AGL, I'm not sure about other retailers so you may have to shop around.

      This may help you understand about 6.6kw system with 5kw inverter

      • dammit on 10/08/2020 - 07:53

        Thanks so much for the detailed info. How do you generate those graphs and is that something I could connect to in order to monitor system power generation and my usage after install?

        Can you tell me how much roof space approx it would need?

        Is it possible to relocate panels on the roof after install later down the track? My north/east face roof is probably currently the best but in the next 5 years there MAY be a chance the neighbour goes two storey and blocks some of the light. Or is it pretty much 100% not possible to do this after due to the screw holes put in the roof (it’s a colorbond roof).

      Even though I don't suggest this for the premium they charge. They used to have the advantage of 10yr warranty in the past but not anymore when all other inverters now also offer 10yr warranty.

      Unless you have a very old tile roof, I haven't charged any extra for any quotes yet. Please send me your details for proposal.
