Hi Ian
Good on you for taking your time, not a small decision.
I reckon it’s between 1 and 2 for me, Fronius is worth it I think.
It’s a tough question as to whether the LG are worth that extra $2.2k. That’s a lot of extra money and Trina are a decent panel too. I think it’s a question of personal preference. If it’s straight up payback ROI that you are looking at, I think it would be hard to justify the nearly 50% more. But if you want assurance that you’ve got the best performing panels on your roof day in day out, and the ones most likely to last a very long time and cause you no trouble, then LG is the way.
Sorry to give you a lawyer answer, but also you should be happy with either option I think.
All the best, let us know how you go.
