Solar Installers Brisbane | Fronius, REC, Sungrow, Risen

Hi, I have three quotes from companies who are Clean Energy Council approved. I would love your comments on these quotes (below) so I can proceed with installing Solar at my place in suburban Brisbane. Have I understood correctly that batteries are still a little too expensive now but in the next 4-5 years they should come down?

Hi Ralba,
If you can afford it the Sunpower/Fronius combo is the best choice,
stay clear of the of Sungrow inverter package.
Fronius/REC combo is good as a second choice.
Phono panels? maybe checkout how well established in Australia (if at all) support wise they are
definitely the cheap end. Check out what happened to RENE SOLAR last year as an example.
