Hi Guys,
I’m an Installer as well, I wouldn’t sell Longi panels, only because they don’t have an Australian presence ie office (get’s complicated if you do have a warranty claim). But they are a decent panel, “Solarnextgen” is correct, there not making a cent there, they are losing money. Be careful, there are installers out there that quote one thing and install another. On the day of install they say we can’t get them but these are just as good. and you end up with crap solar. I sell Jinko Fronius 6.6kW for about $4,500 and there’s not much in that. Fronius Inverters are hard to get these days due to having to buy through partners only (very limited stock going to Electrical Wholesalers) and the price just jumped about $300 (Fronius are trying to get away from crap solar guys). But if your getting what they’re quoting you may as well rob them blind.
Ps. Stay away from Goodwe, I’ve thrown plenty of them in the bin. The new ABB UNO with full 10 yr warranty would be a better cheap choice. (if as they say, they have fixed the issues)
