Hi there,
Been quoted this for Solar in NSW.
Context is that it’s a 2 Story townhouse, average use of around $300-400 a quarter. Colourbond Roof. Single phase.
When presenting to other solar panels they can’t get anywhere near that price which worries me! Haha.
This is the quote from Energy Australia.
Leave out the middle man and go straight to fusion for your electricity.
Except if you check out solarquotes they suggest this is at the bottom end for this size of install. eg 6.6kw was quoting $5500 to $9000. Average being ~$6500 after rebates; https://www.solarquotes.com.au/panels/cost/
Keep in mind you are going for an okay but cheaper set-up so this is probably an appropriate price rather than a true bargain.
Sign-up for the 3 quotes if you want to see what other companies in
your area can do for you before going ahead. it's pretty painless, you just might not get this sorted as quickly.

Thanks :)
Thank you :)
check the plans for origin as well
I just got a quote for similar system. same brand invertor and number of panels, but different brand of panels. it's $4214 for me in Qld. got this guy from solarquoutes suggestions.
For context my 6.6kw system was $2500 fully installed. So i'd say no.
About par is around $3-3.5k imho
The savings number is completely fictional.
that's real cheap. may be basic level invertor and panels.
Seraphim and Growatt,
Was another $200 if the building was 2-storey.
Jinko and Fronius was $3k from memory
Let me guess, you live in WA and went through one of those companies like sunboost lol
No supplier worth their salt would go that cheap.
Each to your own, 3 years later no issues
Installers were subcontracted by every reseller under the sun, even the name brands
Why are there panels on the roof that looks to be south facing? This is a HUGE red flag that something is wrong.
Yeah if that's a nw/se split roof I'd likely just dump as many panels as I was getting on the NW side and be done with it (assuming there's roof space to fit them all cropped from the image).
Peak elec hours are all afternoon/evening so having the most generation in late afternoon is generally more $ offset beneficial
I use 4-5kw/day with my 6.6kw system with my offpeak rates at about 46c/kw, daily supply charge of 91c and my FiT being 8.5c/kw.
I have used 1,762 kwh costing $672 and fed 6,835kw of solar into the grid for $566 return so far this year.
I paid $5,200 last October for the same inverter and Jinko tiger panels.
My latest quote from SolarMatic in NSW is $3,199

Sounds more competitive but everyone always mentions to make sure they’re quality panels. Any thoughts of these panels and inverter?
The screenshot has 'Estimated annual electricity bill savings' - click the review proposal and deposit button and see if that opens up a PDF with a full breakdown.
My guess would be that price you're seeing is after what they are saying you will save on electricity. It makes the number seem lower for you, but the actual cost you will be expected to pay will be the $5,919 + the price they are quoting you for savings. It could even be that price + savings times 2/3/4/5 if the full breakdown gives the expected savings over a number of years.
