  • Do people whose houses with multiple small segments on the roof have any option to get solar. I've talked to a couple of suppliers and they took my address to check if it will work and never got back to me. One of them told it was because it's not possible on my roof.

    • +5

      Microinverters.

    • +3

      Depends how small their are, but your options would likely be either SolarEdge with power optimisers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Bsq7umcffg) or using micro inverters (much more expensive). Had my SoalrEdge 18 months and been flawless. You get the most out of every panel separately rather than a string output with normal systems and allows for placement in various spots on the roof with one inverter.

      • Thanks mate I'll have a look into solar edge.

    • +1

      Depends on what you have, but a normal inverter will work fine with many small segments as long as all the panels on an input are facing in the same direction and are the same orientation, it just takes more effort to install and wire up lots of segments and depending I the roof layout, you may not be able to fit enough panels..

      Most inverters have two inputs and this will do two directions with no issue at all. A few have 3 inputs and do 3 directions. And in the right circumstances you can actually wire up two different directions to one inverter input without losing power (it is complicated, but in simple terms you need an equal number of panels in each direction and no shade for this to work plus an inverter that can take enough current to have two strings in parallel). Some installers might also not be familiar with this setup - there are better references, but this is the one I found now https://support.solarquotes.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/6080551…. Usually this might be east/west in parallel on one input and north on the second input.

      There are also options with microinverters or optimisers as mentioned elsewhere that can have any combination of directions you like which will work well, but probably be more expensive.

      • Thanks for that mate, learnt something new today. From what you've said I don't think my roof will allow this sort of orientation. I think I'll have to place them on N, W & E facing roofs to get all the 15 panels on it.

        • Still feasible, might just be a small upgrade cost for the inverter. I've just had a 16 panel system installed with a 3-input Goodwe inverter, on north+east+south orientations to fill up all the available space.

  • +4

    Cheap panels and inverter

  • What’s the ozbargain favourite for solar batteries now that FIT is being smashed? Modular systems look the best. BYD? Sungrow?

    • 3-phase Sungrow, BYD
      Single-phase Tesla

      • Interesting. BYD only work with fronius thought. Sungrow is just sun grow?

        Whereas Tesla is agnostic.

      • What's a byd battery cost

    • If you're in it for the money then batteries are still not very economical, 10-13 years repayment period for any battery system. Basic panel+inverter combo will still give you 5-7 year repayment period.

      • So true. But if I can just pretend I didnt spend the initial amount on the battery its such a great way to save money haha

      • Assuming power costs don't go up, I'd rather have predictable power costs for the next 10 years, I have no faith that the power costs won't blow out in the coming decade.

        • If we keep rolling out more renewables we should see a tipping point where power just gets cheaper and cheaper. If the LNP's nuclear plan goes ahead though we'll be in for a very rough couple of decades with power prices.

          • @Alzori: Yeah, however I think that tipping point might be ten years out, the grid is a mess and upgrading it is going to be costly, no matter what the power sources are. Renewables are cheaper now, and the power generation part will get cheaper still, but the storage and grid upgrade costs have me looking at options. The car has the capability to power back to the house, but I can't find an installer or get permission yet to get it done :^/

            • @Scrobo: Wait and see I guess - are you in SA? They currently have a trial for vehicles plugging in to power the house but other states don't have it I don't think. Hopefully the results of that are positive and we get legislation rolled out nationwide :)

  • Im a total Solar Newb, in Melbourne, is this a good deal? I assume days like today Solar wouldn't produce much, am I wrong? Just trying to work out how to save some $$ since moving to split systems for heating and cooling, Power pal & my bill tells me I'm using around 14kW per day. So a 6kW system is all I need right, would it cut my usage cost in half? Currently $4.56 per day down to $2.25 per day? if so seems it would pay it self off in 3.5 years.
    Now if I add a battery would that then cut my usage cost to zero? what the going cost for a system and battery?

    • +2

      Depends on if you are always only using 14kwh per day (not to be confused with 14kw)
      Better look at consumption across all four seasons before deciding. Also, if you have single or three phase power.

      have a look at solarquotes website for looks for good materials to read and videos to watch

      • 13.69kWh, last winter was using gas heating, this winter split systems so cant really compare

      • Agree. Also depends on orientation of the panels and (if no battery) what time of day you need the 14kWh. I'm in Vic too, my 5kw system generated 6kWh today (cloudy) and only 2 yesterday (cloudy and drizzle). In Summer, some days are over 30 though.

        • +1

          Work from home so its kind of 50-50 % day and night usage, panels will face east to west so think I'm a perfect candidate

          • -2

            @noslappers: East to west does not make a perfect candidate. North does.

            • +5

              @serpserpserp: North produces more but east and west in separate strings will increase the amount produced in the morning and afternoon when most ppl use power. With FITs basically at 0, it's debatable which orientation is better.

    • As always, many factors. We have a 5kW system in Melb, 10 north and 7 east panels on 23deg roof, few years old, maybe only ~5300W worth of panels. Over the last few years we've got almost 7MWh per year out of them. Most of that in good sun is 10am-3pm though, so we'd benefit a lot from a battery (when they don't cost a fortune).
      You learn to put the dishwasher, washing machine, and pump the cooling during the middle of the day for free (work from home ftw!)
      If you ran east/west panels, you will get less power generation overall, but at more useful times (earlier in morning, later in afternoon).
      Quick app view for last 2 months (basically in winter) we've used ~620kWh from grid, and sold 360kWh, but no smart meter to tell the self consumption.
      Agree worth having a read on solarquotes.

      • +1

        In the dead of winter you are lucky to get over 10kWh a day in Melbourne. It is so miserable. Can't wait for the sun to start shining some more. In summer it is crazy, but now FIT is getting slammed the does take the shine off it a little more.

        Still for the deal in question, it is a dirt cheap system and install.

      • What about a flat roof? Mount them on an angle or mount flat?

    • +1

      To give you an idea… my house avg 15kwh when i used gas for heating and hot water.
      Since my solar install, i have also comverted all heating and water to electric.

      Im winter, i now avg 25kwh per day… i have a 11kw system (E/N/W facing panels) and in a bad day, i only get 6-8kwh and a good day 24kwh.
      I have recently jsut installed a battery too, and in a good sunny day, it will charge the battery full with no grid import, but wont last more than 24 hours of cloudy day.
      In summer, there's more than enough for aircon (I used it during the day to cool the house and the insulation does the job from 6pm onwards).

      There are many other variables to consider such as panel orientation, time of use etc…

      Hopefully that helps

    • In my opinion batteries are not economic. It will be a few years before the price goes down to something reasonable.

      So for now we're talking solar only. The saving you get on your elec bill is seasonal with the most saving in summer and least in winter.

      Orientation of panels is also important. I've got east west on my roof and it's not good in winter (generating sometimes only 5kwh per day with 6.6kw of panels).

      Good place to check out is pvoutput org. It's kinda like a social network for solar junkies. You can get a feel for what others are generating in your area.

      • I want to connect the car to the house, the car is only used for short runs, it would be great to have it store the solar during the day and feed it back to the house in the evenings.

  • +2

    Need something like this in QLD

    • +1

      Hit Scott@SPP up. He arranged for solar to be fitted at our house on the northern end of the GC back in early 2020. Top notch install, sharply priced and has not missed a single beat. Very friendly and knowledgeable fellow, occasionally posts some terrific deals for SE QLD'ers (and northern NSW) on here.

  • Idk if its a good deal or just well written

  • +1

    Jinko 440w dual glass 10kw with 8kw inverter before state rebates was $6200.

    TW TH400 44SCF panels 10kw, and solis S5-GR1P 10kw inverter for $5200

    Both after federal rebate and without state rebates and loans.

    Single phase, terracotta tiles, double storey.

    Live in Bundoora

    Let me know if you can beat or match these as I am trying to choose between which one to get.

    • +1

      I recently got Trina 10.1 kw system with 8.5kw Goodwe inverter installed for $5500 ($2700 out of pocket + $2800 state rebate with interest free loan) and I'm happy with it. Send me a message if you want to try your choice with my provider. I can refer you.

  • Damn things are cheap over East…. I paid 14k for a Sungrow 10kw Hybrid 3 phase inverter with 30 X Jinko 440 W N type panels in Jan this year. It is a 2 storey house with 3 phase and obviously it is a bigger set up with more expensive equipment but damn thats cheap

  • Why vic so much cheaper than QLD? QLD is like 6k for similar system

    • There are heaps of cowboys here doing heaps of cheap deals.

      In the dead of winter no one is installing solar. They only think about it when the sun comes out.

  • What is the price to install for someone who already used solarVic rebate?

    • You cannot use the SolarVIC rebate for the same property again, but you can use it for a different house.

      For a single storey, without SolarVic rebate and loan, your out-of-pocket is $4200

  • PM sent re 10kw+ system + battery

  • In process of getting solar. Cheapest quote I got for Longi/Jinko 440w panels +growett inverter on single storey is $599 after STC+Solar VIC rebate and loan. I am in Melbourne.

    • Is a large setup like this allowed with single phase?

    • +3

      I don't know why installers always include the loan as a discount off the 'total'. The loan still has to be paid.

  • How many kws would I expect to get per hour in winter in VIC? I have room on the north-west, south, east.

    • Winter production is typically lower. A 6.6kW system would generate approximately 8-10kW per day during winter.

  • If our household income is over 210k do we still qualify for STC rebates, but not the vic gov solar rebate?

    • Correct

      • Thanks.

  • How much would this be in NSW ?

    I just got quoted around $8000 with $3000 government rebate.

    • Yeah these vic prices seem insane to me. I got a bunch of quotes for a 13kw system and they like 8-9 grand

  • What would the payback time be on something like this? Are we talking a decade or only 3-4 years? I am guessing there are too many variables to give an easy answer

    • Depends how much electricity you currently consume and how much of your electricity use you could change to daytime - ie diswasher, washing machine, dryer use during the day.

    • +1

      Lots of variables. I took a photo of my bill, removed the identifying info, and sent it out to a few solar companies.
      An honest company came back and said it wouldn't be worth it because I don't use enough power. The others still tried to sell me panels saying how much I would save.

      • Also worth thinking about what your future power use may be, not just power use now. In the future you may have an EV, you may change from gas heating to Reverse Cycle, you may change from gas stove to induction, you may change hot water from gas to electric/heat pump, etc. All these things will increase your electricity use and lower your gas use. I know I'm on a plan to remove gas appliances one by one until I'm going to completely disconnect my gas to the house and save the daily service charges.

    • A 6.6kw system generates a decent amount of energy. If your solar energy consumption is at least 30%- 40%, the average payback period is 3-5 years.

      • if you’ve got a smart meter you can do a reasonable job of figuring out your usage patterns and how much you’ll be able to shift to the day to use your solar. The key thing is to note that feed in tariffs are dropping and will continue to drop. Long term you need to be using your generated energy yourself.

  • Do you do three storey places?

    • It depends on the height of the house. Would you mind sending us your house address to [email protected]?

    Hi OzBargainers!

    I just wanted to share my recent experience with Marshall Energy Solutions to alert others about potential issues that may arise.

    My experience with them was terrible. Andy's communication was almost nonexistent—he didn’t reply to my emails for weeks and ignored my messages. He even had an important email from AusNet Services about my export application sitting in his spam folder for nearly a month! I only heard from him because my SolarVIC application was about to expire.

    To make things worse, they submitted the wrong documents with 0kW export instead of 5kW export to AusNet Services and my retailer, causing delays and additional costs. I had to spend a lot of my time chasing up AusNet Services and my retailer to fix their mistakes. I even questioned my export before the forms were submitted! I started this application at the start of the year, and I've only now just fixed everything.

    The only okay part of this whole process was the installer, but that doesn’t make up for everything else that went wrong. Just a heads-up for anyone considering their services, based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend Marshall Energy Solutions to anyone looking for reliable service.

    • +1

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. I apologize for not being available at the time due to personal reasons, as you've acknowledged. The Ausnet manual export was submitted within the timeframe. However, our staff didn't realize that the 5kw export was approved.

      We were able to install the system within 2 weeks, the 5kw export was approved.

      I understand your frustration about the delay, but please know that we made every effort to address the situation. We compensated for the inconvenience caused, and you've accepted it. It would be great if you could include these details in your comments. Additionally, as previously mentioned, our office is closed during the weekend.

  • +1

    The price here is on the lower side, but I worry they'll just want to slap the panels and inverter up any old how to get in and out fast.

    I'd like an installer that would ask my requirements and place panels in the most productive spot, rather than just what's easier for the installer. Perhaps wouldn't trim the rails, route the cabling well, the inverter not put where requested (ie I'd want it hidden in the garage, not the easiest, quickest spot).
