Hi there,

We’ve been quoted on the following:  
Fronius Symo 10.0-3-M 10.5 kW + 30 x 350 SunPower SPR-MAX2-350 (350W) Panels + Fronius 3 Phase Smart Meter = $12086, after all applicable rebates.

Is this a competitive price?

Kind regards,  
Kathryn

Hi Kathryn

Someone else just posted a quote for the same products at about half the size:

> [@Cheap or Expensive Solar Quote? Sungrow & Jinko vs Fronius & SunPower](https://perform.discoursehosting.net/t/do-i-choose-the-cheap-or-expensive-quote-sungrow-jinko-vs-fronius-sunpower/438):

> Hi Am in Northern NSW and have 2 quotes from 2 different supplies that are reputable and recommended but I’m confused if it is worth paying the extra $2000 for the ‘better’ brands given I’m not sure I’ll be still in this house in 15 years time and just want to reduce my power bill which is around $480/ quarter for single parent family. It’s for 6.6Kwh system, 5 Kwh inverter. I get the feeling that they are in general a little more expensive that other quotes I’ve read on this forum as well? I’m…

They have been quoted more than half the panels, at about half the price, and they would also be eligible for more STCs. In short, probably a comparable quote. These are top quality products, I don’t think the price is unreasonable. Although, is this also including the Victorian government rebate?

Who is the company you have been quoted by, and are you confident in them? That’s most important. It can’t hurt to get another quote though.

Cheers  
Marty

Hi Marty,

Thanks for your quick response. Looking at the other quote, I’m not sure what size Fronius inverter they’ve been quoted on but I don’t think it would be a 10 kW. The quote I received was for a 3 phase inverter (I’m told they are a bit more expensive) and the panels are Maxeon 2, as opposed to the P series in the other quote.

The price I’ve posted is after STCs and the Vic solar rebate. The company I’ve received the quote from is Cola Solar in Bendigo and they seem to be a reputable company, from all accounts.

Thanks for your time.

Kind regards,  
Kathryn

Yes that’s all true, so agreed it seems to be a good deal. Cola Solar have been around for a long time, they seem to be a reputable company.

Again, thanks for your time Marty. So far, my dealings with Cola have been really positive and they certainly seem very knowledgeable so I’m happy to go with them.
