    A complaint switchboard is required

    Why does my switchboard need to be a complaint? I'd like to complain about that.

    • +3

      I think he means you need your own customer service centre with a switchboard for taking complaints.

    • -1

      To ensure that your place does not burn down and blame them and sue them for damages. It's also a requirement for the sparky to check before they do any work.

      Be aware that the requirements have changed a few times over the last 40 years, so what was compliant 20 years ago may not be compliant now.

        You miss the joke bro

      In lab conditions without factoring any transmission loss or inverter loss or panel degridation.

      I just got a new install the other day, 13.2kw of panels and highest output has been 9.5kw so far (In Tasmania)

      • +7

        Has nothing to do with that - peak sun only happens for a short period each day (i.e. 6.6kw may only be 15min in summer). So typically panels are 33% oversized relative to the inverter.

        • -5

          i.e. In lab conditions as i said.

          • +3

            @Kegsta: No, nothing to do with lab conditions.

            What they are telling you is they install more panels than the inverter can actually use. That way the inverter is hitting its rated max far more often. Its a waste to do otherwise.

            So you probably have 13.2kw of panels but a 10kw inverter. You cant get 13.2kw, lab conditions or not.

            If you only installed 10kw of panels you would be getting about 8 much of the day and rarely getting 10. Just overprovision the panels so you get 10 far more often.

            • @Duff5000: Correct. Electricity output is limited by inverter in this case.

            • -1

              @Duff5000: Yes I know that, but the original question was asking why doesn't 6.6kw of panels output 6.6kw of electricity?

              • @Kegsta: You say you get it but then clearly still don't get it.

                We know what the question was. The answer you gave isn't correct.

            • @Duff5000:

              Its a waste to do otherwise.

              I still don't understand how it is not a waste to overprovision panels like this. I mean, buying a 6.6kW inverter is not much more expensive than a 5kW one, but 15 panels instead of 12 definitely is. Why don't they simply install a 6.6kW inverter so that we don't lose the area under the curve above the 5kW line? There must be a regulatory reason.

            • @Duff5000: Thanks for explaining :)

              • @BatmanAU: No worries. Technically speaking panels can often exceed their rated power in ideal conditions.

                IIRC they test with 1000w/m2 which the sun can exceed in some circumstances and at a set temperature (28?). On a really hot day you will be well above that temp and output will be reduced. One a windy clear cool day you can be well below that temp and the penels can output a bit more than rated. (so yes, ignore kegsta above)

                Over the day though time spent at maximum is going to be very low. Another thing we didn't discus is placement. If they all face north you get a nice peak in the middle of the day but mornings and afternoon you are way down on power. You can overprovision and have some panels aimed to catch early and late sun, now you get more max inverter output generation all day but its impossible to ever reach the total of all panels as they are not all hit at the same time.

    • +7

      Typically you overload the inverter by 30% to maximise input across more of the day.

    • -1

      Shouldn't you not comment on things you clearly have no understanding of? This system makes perfect sense.

      • Firstly its not a comment, it was a question. Secondly, when people dont understand something, they, guess what, ask questions. Not sure how it happens in your household.

        • -1

          You're VERY clearly just commenting and pretending they're questions as you're very obviously not interested in being educated on the matter, given people have told you why and you're not interested in what they're saying.

    • At peak it might but a lot of solar input is below peak and having more than 5kw of panels just means you do better when the sun isn't supplying peak. We occasionally top out at 5kw but the benefit of having more panels is when conditions are not as bright.

      • So how much would cloud affect it?

      • Interesting read above, thanks, so for us noobs, so basically having more panels helps, a bit like having more surfice area on a cpu heatsink (aka the amount of panels) giving more powerful cooling effect from air of a cpu fan (aka the sun), obvisously panels are at different orientation and locations will get different sunlight at different time of day the sun is set at, why better having the extra panels were possible on ones roof

        I think us noobs, say a example a 13kwh panel setup are unknowingly thinking the behaviour is as if its say one example metre by metre one 13kwh panel, facing correctly and orientated to the sun correctly and generating close too its full capacity of 13kwh, nope, actually got to think/picture it as its a setup of numerous panels, totaling 13kwh in capacity but impossible too generate close to its capacity of 13kwh, cause all panels are spread over an area of ones roof at different angles to the sun at different times of the day so why it will ever generate to close too 13kwh

        Why better too over provision panels, not to genarate more power output at one point of time but to catch more sunlight throughout the day to genarate more power over the day sunlight is available from and even more helpful on cloudy days

        Ok reading above is giving myself a headache Lolz 😆

    Any battery package?

    • +3

      Batteries make no financial sense, just wait until you get an EV then you're laughing.

      • +2

        Yeah but they're good fun to tinker with and systems like Sigenergy are a UPS so knowing you'll have no prolonged surges or blackouts is nice.
        Agree on EV front, sigenergy also has a bidi charger!

    • Then just get a Powerwall 3 or Sigenergy system which has an inbuilt inverter.

  • +3

    Excellent price mate.

  • Anyone know about putting individual solar on apartments? 10 flats across 2 levels

    • What's your question?

      Typically the roof is "common property" in an apartment building and you need strata approval to put up solar panels. There's various configurations that you can use to either share the panels or have a dedicated solar system for a single apartment (eg town house). Lots of articles online about it.

      • Sorry good point. I know no one in my complex has any money so a complex sharing system is likely out of the question. I guess I’m wondering if anyone has experience putting their own system on common property (perhaps on only a portion of the roof which is the percentage size representing the apartment)

        • +2

          Yes - it's been done - just needs strata approval.

          The reality is the approval get buried in some general meeting notice and no one really looks at them (unless there's a big proportion of owner occupiers). You just need to sweet talk the strata committee or strata manager (whichever of the two is making the decisions) into allowing it.

          The system doesn't have to be in proportion to your unit entitlement or roof space allocation - the "owners" can give you permission to take up the whole roof if they deem fit. They can also cover the cost if they're feeling generous.

          • @salmon123: The whole point would be the capital costs and return. So any credits obtained from the installation, assuming it goes ahead, would be to discount future strata levy.

            Unless it's got a big sinking fund or that vote and set up a special levy, those who aren't in for the long run wouldn't be interested in this investment

            • @Butterfly Gocha:

              The whole point would be the capital costs and return.

              It sounds like @Guzd is looking for a single apartment solution rather than a shared solution.

              those who aren't in for the long run wouldn't be interested in this investment

              You'd be surprised how many investors never even look at the General Meeting minutes.

        • There's currently a Victorian Government rebate for apartment solar, so it might not be as expensive as other people might think.

          Otherwise, something that's gaining adoption in Europe is balcony-mounted panels. No idea about if they're feasible here though.

  • +1

    Would be good if the info included what states this is for? VIC only . NSW .. ext?

    • +2

      Looks like the rebate is for VIC only?

  • do they have packages with Tesla house batteries? I want to do a off the grid setup.

    • +2

      Do you actually live in an off-grid area or just like the idea of having your house disconnected from the grid?

      I don't think the numbers stack up for city dwellers to have a comfortable off-grid set up (yet).

      • +1

        i want to be able to switch on or off the grid when ever i want the tesla batteries have a thingy that lets you do that.

        • You'd need a hybrid inverter; they cost a few times more than a normal inverter

      • -1

        The numbers are stacking up, even more so with the threat of being charged for the privilege of feeding solar back into the grid. Id happily switch to full battery and only draw from grid in emergencies

        • +3

          Both of you guys need to do more reading on what off-grid actually means.

          You're both still talking about grid connected systems and possibly a virtual power plant.

    • Do you have 60k or so to throw at it?

  • Is 6.6kW a standard setup or more panels the better? If there's space for 20 panels, is upgrading to 8.8kW an option?

    Solar Quotes' brand chart maybe a little confusing, the brands are alphabetically placed, Canadian Solar is at the top because of its name rather than brand reputation.

  • My changed my internet and my solis data logger won’t work anymore as it suggest already connected to plant, any suggestions how to fix it?

  • +1

    How old company is this? Mainly concern is workmanship provided by company will not be exist after couple of years

    • I would like to know about this too. What is the work warranty OP

    • +1

      This is a risk for all solar installers. Even long-established businesses have gone under.

  • Does anyone know if i can book now for install 2 month down the line? my PPOR house settlement is at the end of Jan

  • dunno how about you but my eye is twitching when I hear #solarpanels

    I get scam calls about it on my mobile twice a day on average

  • Their sunwiz award is not credible enough, can be purchased it seems. Maybe credible equipment but cannot guarantee credible workmanship or support

  • +1

    As above, interested in S.A. deal.

  • +5

    Beware this guy has no personal boundaries. If you do make contact with them he will pester you with calls everyday despite telling them, you would contact them, when you are ready.

  • Hey, I already have solar but can I just get this installed as a second stand alone system? (For say EV charging)

    • A quick look suggests you'll probably still get solar panel rebates, but your big problem is the inverter. The great majority of inverters are designed for on grid application, where they need 240V grid power to run- hybrid or off grid inverters are able to operate without that 240v signal/ capacity to take load.

  • Why does it cost extra to install on terracotta tiles?

    • +1

      Steel roofs have mounting stuff screwed through the steel roof into the battens…. Tiles don't like screws, so require different mounting strategies.

  • I just had an 8.36kw Sungrow and Jinko system installed by Marshall. They were great to work with, answered all my questions honestly and they finished everything quickly. The system is running great and generating more than I expected for this time of the year. I highly recommend them!

    • +2

      May we know the cost? Thanks

  • Is it still worth replacing this with 3.5kw solar panels that were installed back in Nov 2014?
