Hi Tom,

For that price I would expect a full installation. It’s too much for the supply of the components only. Is this a Commodore pre-wired system?

I would definitely try to get some other quotes.

As you are looking to go Off-Grid or behind the meter.

The following is supply equipment only;

  1. 1 x 10kW YiY Off-grid Inverter with built in MPPT & AGS function.$2’200.00
  2. 3x 10.24kWh, 48V, YiY LiFePO4 Batteries $11’350.00
  3. 25x 445W (11.12kW) Longi Panels $6’650.00
  4. 1x 6.5kW Silenced Generator with ATS function $1’800.00
    TOTAL: $22’000 +Delivery

That provides a totally stand alone system.
Fitting the inverter & batteries onto a wall is simple, just need two people to lift 100kg Battery onto the Wall brackets.

It would be interesting if any installers on here can quote what the ballpark cost should/would be, to install 25 solar panels on an common single story Rooftop?
