Hi Guys,

Noe: Guys, Please Call Dominique (0414465138) directly From Euro Solar for the offered price and referral credits, if you contact the 13 number or any other rep the prices will be different and no credit applies.

After a lot of research for a solar system I found this, I have ordered the 3KW system for myself, installation time is within 2 weeks from the deposit paid.

Euro Solar is having some nice deals on solar systems, secure your one before govt cut the rebates by 50%. They are running a 1 day deal on their systems.
A 3KW system (250W Ameri solar panel, made in USA + SMA SB3000TL-20 made in Germany) for $3790 installed.
A 5KW system (250W Ameri solar panel made in USA + Delta, German Designed) for $6999 installed.

They offer 30 years performance warranty on their panels opposed to other retailers offer 25years
SMA inverter has built in bluetooth for PC monitoring, comes with 5year warranty
Delta inverter comes with 10 year warranty
They also offer 10 year installation(workmanship)warranty on their installation.

I dont think anyone can beat the above prices at the moment. The prices I got it for Victoria, they have similar offers for the other states as well. Just Call Dominique (0414465138) From Euro Solar and ask.

They have a referral system, I have already signed up, so as a fellow ozbargainer if you please mention my name both of us will get a credit on our system. Below is how much credit both of us will get if you mention my name - my name is "Anand Ramakrishnan".

Also please put it here if you are mentioning my name and signing up for a system, so I can make sure that the company actually giving me the credit I am eligible for.

1.5 TO 3.00 KW SYSTEM YOU GET $50 CASH AND YOUR FRIEND GET $50 CREDIT
3.0 TO 4.5KW SYSTEM YOU GET $100 CASH AND YOUR FRIEND GET $100 CREDIT
5.0 SYSTEM YOU GET $150 CASH AND YOUR FRIEND GET $150 CREDIT

They also offer a $2000 holiday voucher with every order to use across australia, not really know the terms and conditions for this.

I hope moderators will agree to putting this referral here as its all plane and just its also a bargain - another 50 or 100 dollar off, so i hope its not against the ozbargain rule, please correct me if I am wrong

Its not in there website as the deal is only for today, If anyone having troubles to secure the above price please contact me , I can send a copy of my quote to price match.

Guys, when you are sending the PM please PM with your email address, then only I can send the quote, I dont know how to attach it here.

    They also offer a $2000 holiday voucher whether you mentioned my name or not across australia

    What does this mean?

    • redpump on 29/11/2012 - 11:08

      Probably a draw to win the voucher?

      • dreamzz on 29/11/2012 - 11:10

        NO the voucher include with every order. What they told me is you need to buy breakfast and lunch from the same restaurant, so I dont know its useful or not. I have updated the deal description reflecting this

  • dreamzz on 29/11/2012 - 11:09

    if you signed up for a system they will give you a $2000 holiday voucher to use in australia, I dont know is it usefull or not and I am not worried about the voucher, the solar system prices seems good to me as compared to the other quotes I got, so I put it here. And regarding the referral its just the help, both parties can benefit of it.

      1.5 TO 3.00 KW SYSTEM YOU GET $50 CASH AND YOUR FRIEND GET $50 CREDIT
      3.0 TO 4.5KW SYSTEM YOU GET $100 CASH AND YOUR FRIEND GET $100 CREDIT

      3.00 -> $50
      3.0 -> $100
      Make sure you asked for 3.0 :)

      • dreamzz on 29/11/2012 - 11:39

    • dreamzz on 29/11/2012 - 11:39

      I dont know mate, I just ordered a 3KW system and they send me all the documents including the specs sheet, their warranty information, terms and conditions etc, and the referral offer was in one of the document, I didnt ask them how much for a 3KW system they will give. Even without the $50 or $100 I consider the price is damn good.

  • wisc on 29/11/2012 - 11:42

    with the PFIT pretty much gone, solar is no longer that great unless you use all you generate or have a battery bank….
    pretty dodgy really… sell it for 8 cents buy it for 25+
    specially as many people arent home in the day to even use the energy generated…
    I know i'd be giving it a miss with the current feed in rates.

    • dreamzz on 29/11/2012 - 11:47

      I was thinking the same, then I thought a small system will be good for running my fridge, all standby AV equipments, sat-sun-public holidays- sick leave, and during the summer we get home by 6, sunset is around 8.30-9, so there is benefit for putting a small system, no use for a 5KW system in my opinion. And the price i got for a 1.5KW system is $2000 and with chines panels and inverter, so I decided to go with the eurosolar offer.

    • illz on 29/11/2012 - 12:08

    I went through EuroSolar to add an extra six panels to my system (bringing it to a total of 18 panels).

    They charged me $2200 when other companies quoted me $3600+.

    The new panels didn't work at first but the electrician came back and fixed it the next day, very happy with the service. I live in QLD.

    • frewer on 29/11/2012 - 13:01

  • PlasticSpaceman on 29/11/2012 - 12:29

    Don't know about the company or the kit (other than the SMA inverter which has a good rep), but they are definitely excellent prices…. it cost me around $3k to put in a 1.5kW system a couple of years ago…. granted I get over $0.60 back, but we pretty much use everything we generate. I wish I'd (been able to afford to) put in a 5kW system (large family, lots of energy used). As much as the old feed in tarrif is great, even without it I figure I'll get my money back in 6 years or so here in Melbourne. Probably sooner given the way the price of electricity keeps going up. If I was to invest money in (say) shares, to get my money back in 6 years - including allowing for tax - would be doing well.

    In a few years time, I can easily imagine people putting in banks of batteries to store power generated during the day, combined with a wind turbine and maybe a backup generator going off grid totally.

    • _Bruce_ on 29/11/2012 - 12:45

      Will depend a lot on your TV, how much you want it, how much you use AC, and if you do these things in the middle of the day.

      Also depends on if you have existing loans that you can put the money into or have money around to invest.

      • Dr Techno on 29/11/2012 - 12:49

        Yeah got a Ozbargain Toshiba 55" for $1057 :) AC have cheap evaporative air cooler, pretty much use my computer more during day time. When I was looking at a $10,000 solar system some time back it made more sense to whack that into home loan.. but a small system at $3790 I was more thinking of insurance against possible electric price hikes to take the edge off.

      • frewer on 29/11/2012 - 13:03

        you can charge it to a bank of gel battery to use it later on at night.

      Same for mine, last bill was $390, thats without turning on my evaporative cooling, looking to save something with the new solar system in this summer and enjoy cooler all day around.

  • Daniel Plainview on 29/11/2012 - 12:44

    Forgive the marginally off-topic question but I've always found it puzzling that economies of scale fail to apply with such small domestic Solar systems, by this I mean why is the 3KW Solar System $3790 ($1.26/w) yet the 5KW is $6999 ($1.39/w)?

    Seems all solar companies are priced in this manner, so not panning this mob but seems kind of odd…..as I'd expect the law of diminishing marginal returns to kick in on systems much bigger than these….otherwise how the heck are much bigger commercial targeted systems able to be feasible.

    The panels are the same, just more of them - so the only difference is the inverter, right? But surely 2 of the 3kw inverters are not more expensive to the seller than one of the 5kw ones?

    As I said, I've just found this puzzling as I'd have expected the bigger systems to have been marginally better value per unit of power generated. :-)

    • dreamzz on 29/11/2012 - 12:51
      +1

      As of my knowledge, the price depends on the govt rebate, bigger systems has less rebate (ratio to the system price) than compared to a midsized system. Also 5KW inverter costs more. I think you cannot put a system bigger than 5KV for the home use, there is some govt rule or something related to this. correct me if I am wrong.

    • rasun81 on 29/11/2012 - 12:56

      what i heard is , Government gives cash grant via REC for only upto 1.5kw. So for example , if 1.5KW is 3000$ and 3kw is 6000$ and 5kw is 10,000$ after govt grant of 2000$, final price will be : 1.5kw=1000$, 3kw=4000$ and 5kw=8000$.

  • hothed on 29/11/2012 - 12:54

    So has anyone ordered these?

    • dreamzz on 29/11/2012 - 13:09

      I have ordered this in the morning, another couple of guys contacted me for a copy of the quote i got and they said they gonna refer my name, so I think they are going to order it. Its a win win situation, if they refer my name, they will get $100 off and I too get $100 off from my order :)

  • dreamzz on 29/11/2012 - 13:06

    A typical 3KW system will generate around 12KW-15KW a day i think, so even if you are not using it(only feeding to grid then ) 14KW365days4years = 20440KW*16cents=$3270.4

    14KW is the typical generated power during a day, 4 years is when govt finish the rebate completely.
    So according to this maths even if you are not using a single amount of power the system generated you can get your money back in 4-5 years time still left you with another 25years performance warranty, and if whatever you use in the day is multiply buy 27cents(the current electricity rate, which can go up every year) which will be a huge savings, say if you only use 20% of what it producing then that is 4088KW*(27-16)=$449.

    $3270+$449=$3719 means your system will payoff by itself in 4 years time with minimal usage.

    There will be a little bit changes in the generated energy and total figures but overall the concept is its beneficial to have the solar system.

    • rasun81 on 29/11/2012 - 13:23

      warranty only matters when the company exist. Many companies are busting out and 25/30 years are too long. We may still deal with manufacturer in china and labour but it will be too expensive.

      But in essential, panels wired to inverter and inverter to grid. So not much complex and panels dont go bad unless heavy hail storms and quality panel like this are good investment. Inverter also good here and usually inverter is the weak link (that is why warranty is shorter).

      • dreamzz on 29/11/2012 - 13:58

        True!!!

    • Dr Techno on 29/11/2012 - 13:36

          http://ret.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/Latest-Updates/2012/N…

          Then it drops to 1x multiplier for a standard fixed rate of 8 cents which all providers in Vic will probably apply to.

          For SFIT you had to submit the paper work by end of September for a 1:1 rate matching with your electricity provider so something like 24 cents feedin tarrif..

          Correct me if Im wrong government will match the providers 8 cents making it 16 cents?

        • dreamzz on 29/11/2012 - 14:41

          yes, before september it was 24cents, now its 16cents till 2016. also the govt rebate is reducing by 50% from 1st of january next year, means the system prices will go up by a min of $1000 per system depends the size. So if you are planning for a system this is the best time.

      Feel free to correct my numbers if they're wrong.

      Assumptions. based on a 3.0kw system. With Melbourne averaging about 4hours of peak sunlight. No increase in electricity costs.

      Worst case scenario, you use none of the generated electricity and feed it all back at $0.08
      3kw x 4 hours =12KWh per day.
      4380KW/year.
      @ $0.08 per KW = $350.40 so about 10 years to recoup costs.

      Assuming you use all the power generated.
      @ $0.25 per KW = $1095 or about 3.5 years.

      Reality will be in the middle so say 6.5 years.

      after that, its gravy.

  • minimum-size on 29/11/2012 - 16:10

    this deal looks great but I'm trying to figure out what type of plans and rates do the power companies charge when you are on solar in Vic? I've tried to look it up but can't find much from my phone. my current kWh rates are around 25cent region peak and below 20cent off peak from memory. I saw agl mention 36cent somewhere which seems pretty steep. would eaily negate the 16cent feed in.

    Hi Peoples :-)

    My very first post :-) Just need some urgent help as I ordered one of these systems today but when I explained the details as outlined in the original post below.

    "A 3KW system (250W Ameri solar panel, made in USA + SMA SB3000TL-20 made in Germany) for $3790 installed"

    Dominique indicated that the special only included the Delta inverter and not the SMA SB3000TL-20.

    So as it stands I now have a quote for $4350.00 (including the $100 credit off) with the SMA inverter. About $500 more..

    Just wanting to make sure that this was a legitimate mistake by the original poster or if I have been had :-(

    Cheers :-)

    • dreamzz on 29/11/2012 - 16:35

      Hi,

      I just got a call from Dominique and he said its price error on my quote, $3790 is with the delta inverter ($3690 with the $100 off). But as I already paid the deposit they will honor the price for me, but please tell my friends that with delta the price is $3790 and with sma its $4450 plus $100 off on top of it. I will update it with the new figures.

      In my quote it says $3790 with SMA and i can send to anyone who wants the proof.

      Even with the delta inverter $3690 for a 3KW system is too good if you check with any other providers. Delta was a German company now bought by a malaysian company and panels are now made in thailand, same country that all the HDD's and processors are made, so I think its not bad.

      • Skatterbrain on 29/11/2012 - 16:41

        That changes the game a lot. And a quick google shows that Delta is a taiwanese company that manufactures from Thailand….

        That might explain the lack of a return call.

    Where else we can get a 3KW system for $3690 and with SMA $4350, not even possible with full chinese panels and inverters. So to me the deal is still value for money.

  • Scratch2k on 30/11/2012 - 08:56

    If I understand how this works correctly, it doesn't seem like such a good deal. You pay several thousand dollars to install solar cells, feed what you generate back in to the grid whereupon you are paid some random amount (depending on where you live) between 8c and 20c).

    Where I live, I'm paying 35c/kwh at peak (and something like 20c off peak), so if I generate this power I'm selling it to my power company for 8c, and they turn around and sell me MY OWN ENERGY back at 35c, sure, it's reducing my overall cost per kwh but it seems a bit unbalanced. Is my understanding correct?

    If so, I think I'll wait until there is some way to at least use my own energy as it's generated (even if I don't store it) and send the excess tot he grid.

    • stebie on 01/12/2012 - 12:35

      You do actually use what your solar panels generate. Any excess electricity is what's sold to the power company at 8c. Any power you consume additional to what you generate (mostly at night) is what's charged at 35c/20c.

      That's why it's suggested to use power hungry appliances during the day if possible, to make the most of what you generate.

      But I totally agree… 8c sell for 35c buy is ridiculous. I would rather a 1:1 kwh credit for any excess electricity I generate which can then be used when my system isn't generating enough. If I change providers, they can return any leftover credit at 8c/kwh.

  • dreamzz on 30/11/2012 - 09:37

    Energy companies spend a lot to do there cabling, managing accounts etc, so they cannot give us back the same, but sure the 35cents vs 8cents is bit unbalanced, surely the game will change in the future, there will be some other way to use our own energy, but at that time you wont get any govt rebate to put the systems in, so you will pay more to install the system at that point. The best way is to put the system now and wait for what will happen in future, that nobody knows.

    i got quoted $5270 for a delta 3kw system with the mention of heloanand name on the phone since i already have a 1 kw system in QLD. Not sure if it the best price for my case? I still waiting for the emailed quote promised but still haven't got.

    • dreamzz on 30/11/2012 - 13:16

      with the Delta its should be $3690 for the 3KW system here in melbourne and with SMA $4350. check your pm.

  • coolsteps on 30/11/2012 - 12:30

    http://www.truevaluesolar.com.au/ have 2kw system for $1491 that ends today not sure if thats better deal?

    • dreamzz on 30/11/2012 - 13:18

      I dont know where did you got that price on truesolar, I cannot see its on their website, do you mind sharing more details like the inverter and panels brand etc

      It will be good if the inverter is a known brand and panels are 250V mono , per my knowledge truevalue solar is offering only 200V panels and claiming they are the most advanced, check the reviews about them on whirlpool, so many bad reviews

        … It's in the gigantic picture on their front page?

    i finally decided to bit the bullet and paid my deposit for the $5270 delta 3kw system since i already have a 1kw system in qld its more expensive for me as i think its less gov rebates recs? well they promised to have it installed before xmas , well ill have to wait and see , I hope all goes . oh i cant recommend true value solar, they have bad advertising they wanted to charge me an extra 2.5 grand as i already had a 1kw system.

  • dreamzz on 01/12/2012 - 06:54

    Yeah, thats 2.5 grand is probably the govt rebate that you alrdy got with your first system install hence why its costs more for you, or else qld prices are cheaper than vic as they r in a higher slab, has more govt rebate

  • dreamzz on 01/12/2012 - 06:58

    Guys i think the offers are still valid, so i am extending the expiry date, i will confirm it with dominique later

  • atlant on 01/12/2012 - 10:58

    put a deposit for 3kW in Victoria.
    Dominic refused to give $100 discount saying that it is only valid for SMA system (I ordered Delta).
    I was too tired to argue.

    • dreamzz on 02/12/2012 - 00:05

      Hi mate, pm me with your name, may be i can ask dominic, there is lots of guys here who got the delta system for 3690 instead of $3790, pm me

    • dreamzz on 03/12/2012 - 16:04

      hi mate, can you pls provide your quote number, so that I can claim my credit also ask for your, you should be eligible for $100 doesnt matter its delta or sma

  • coolsteps on 03/12/2012 - 21:39

    anyone had it installed yet? i got a call today saying someone cancelled and that they could install it tomorrow hope all goes well.

    • dreamzz on 04/12/2012 - 07:12

      Thats great news, so fast, lucky you are, i havent got my installation date yet

      • PK on 04/12/2012 - 08:01

        Hi, I just sent you a message

        • dreamzz on 04/12/2012 - 11:20

          I forwarded your request to dominique,let see what he come up with.

  • dreamzz on 07/12/2012 - 14:56

    Note: Guys, Please Call Dominique (0414465138) directly From Euro Solar for the offered price and referral credits, if you contact the 13 number or any other rep the prices will be different and no referral credit applies.

  • atlant on 13/12/2012 - 09:22

    I am bit worried about the installation.
    received SMS last week saying it could be pushed to January.
    Dominic told me that the company will compensate for the lost rebate.
    This implies that they can give ~$2K discount. Just wonder if they can afford it.
    My bet - guys will disappear from January.

      there is a crapload of fat in panels, they can buy them for 1 dollar a watt pretty easily inverters are a few hundred bux, railing etc is also a few hundred bux… (imagine what they get them for in bulk!)

      can't rememember are they removing the rebate completly or reducing it? if removing it it would be close to cost for them, if they are reducing there would still be enough profit in it…

  • dreamzz on 21/12/2012 - 17:35

    Its actually reducing by 50%, so for a 3kw sys its around 1000-1500$ roughly

    • wisc on 24/12/2012 - 13:51

      so still quite a bit of fat in it for the installers…
