What is your estimated payback period of the system (if you know)? Based on the current performance, it could be up to 3 years
Are you happy with your solar system? Would you do anything different next time? I’m pretty happy so far, and would highly recommend JWS Electrical.

What is your feed in tariff (for the solar you export per kWh)? $0.15

Where do you live? It will depend on that. The only difference is the cost of installation. On the eastern seaboard prices for panels and inverters are very similar everywhere.
Do you know which rebate they are referring to? Is it the Federal Government STC rebate or the State Government rebate?
That will make a difference.
We are retailers and our price with the Federal Government for Canadian + Growatt would be similar to the price quoted, however, considering there is a price difference of around $1,000+ between Growatt and Fronius and very little difference in price between Canadian and Jinko the price for option 2 seems very low.
If it is including the State rebate then prices quoted are too high.
Many thanks for your responses Marty and Solarnextgen. It was very helpful.
I think i am going with good. I’ll share my experience after it is installed. Just finalized rebate, awaiting approval now.
