Hi this is the quote I received from solar miner. I have just started to look into solar and don’t really know where to start/what to look for. Our house is 2 story so they said it’s an extra $600 (included in the cost). Is this any good? Should I ask for other panels? We don’t qualify for the rebate.

Hi Tazmc,
Suntech panels are not to bad, there is a independent testing of various solar panels each year by PEVL The PV Module Reliability Scorecard , and they are among the top preforming panels for the last few years in a row under stress test conditions.
I would steer away from a growatt, and for a few bucks more you can get a Sungrow SGK5 D GEN 2 - 5KW inverter, having installed quite a few with no comeback there quite a good inverter and i think globally last year they were the 4 most popular inverter brand of choice, and are filled with German sourced components , and also come with a 5+5 warranty now i think.
For me a key thing would be were is your installer getting the solar gear from ? as if he gets them from a electrical wholesaler then you have a extra layer of warranty/peace of mind should something fail down the track, as if the installer is no longer in business i think Australian consumer law allows you to go back to the wholesale for a warranty claim.
Remember these are only my veiws.
hope the above helps, and good luck !!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond I really appreciate it!
I’ll ask about changing the growatt. Hopefully they have the option you suggested.
I’ll also ask some of the suggested follow up questions.
Thank you
