Hi, I have had a quote for solar panels to be installed.
6.615
Longi 315 x 21
Fronius Primo 5.0 inverter
$5750
Or
6.615kW Canadian 315 half-cut panels is $5,900 with a Fronius 5kW Inverter.\*\*
One company says they would choose the Longi over the Canadian.
The other company recommends we use Canadian panels as they use the Bloomberg list and they have ranked the top panels in the world, and Canadian solar are number one, which is what they recommend. I have not heard of this list anywhere.
Can anyone advise which is the better panel and what and how valid is the Bloomberg list?
Cheers
Cassy

Solarquotes is another good solar comparison site. They rate JA Solar and Longi as reputable brands and well supported in Aus, with Longi being slightly more expensive. JA have a sensible manufacturer’s warranty of 10 years. I suspect Longi have the same. If you have more faith in one retailer/installer than the other, I would pick that one. Otherwise what they are charging you might be the distinguishing factor.

Hi @Imp
Yes, I agree with Frank there. Probably much of a muchness between these two brands:

LONGi produce a wide range of cost effective and reliable panels which only use monocrystalline cells . In fact, part of the industry shift towards more efficient mono and mono PERC cells was due to the massive investment by LONGi …

It seems pretty reasonable. What do others think? Also: a couple of people at work have solar. They recommend buying a larger system than you currently need, the logic being that your use will always increase into the future e.g. elec…
As Frank says, the installer is the biggest factor as we talk about here:

> When buying solar it is important to get good quality products, it’s also important to know how the system works so you get the most out of it, and understand when there is a problem, and of course it’s important to pay a fair price. However, the most important decision to make when buying solar is who to buy your solar system from. The reason is simple, if you find the right person to buy from, they should be able to guide you through the labyrinth that is going solar. In addition to that, you …

The companies are Green solar, Brisbane and One power solar and electrical , Gold Coast.
Green solar was one company that came from solar quotes the other from Facebook. Do you know of these and any reviews or comments?

Hi Imp
Green Solar seems to get pretty good reviews, not much on One Power though.
Our Brisbane page might help on what solar generation to expect, and also a couple other installers in the area if you want another quote.

First off, let’s talk about the Bloomberg list. I’ve heard of it before, and it’s definitely a legit ranking system for solar panels. However, just because a panel is ranked number one doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best fit for you. Different panels have different strengths and weaknesses, and you need to consider your specific needs before making a decision.
