RENE solar has a terrible reputation and has no local support in Australia. I wouldn’t use any company supplying these panels!

I seriously recommend you get some more quotes from other companies.

Can you guide me about solar panels and inverter brands to look for.

Here’s some articles which will help. The inverter brands, Sungrow and Fronius you were quoted are both good.

I have got another quote with longi panels and goodwee inverter. The sales persons are pushy on goodwee. I read your article and sungrow is rated higher. Should i go for sungrow or goodwee. Price difference is 100 -150 dollar higher for sungrow which is acceptable to me.

|6.64 kW Solar System|
|LONGi Solar Hi-MO 5m LR5-54HPH-415M (415W)|16|(incl.)||
|GoodWe DNS GW5000D-NS (AS4777-2 2020) (5.kW)|1|(incl.)||
|Commissioning and Electrical Safety Certificate included.|1|(incl.)||
|Balance of system (BOS)|1|(incl.)||
|Network pre-approval||(incl.)||
|Installation & labour fully installed including inverter connectivity with mobile phone.||(incl.)||
|Solar Panel. 25 years panel performance & 15 years product warranty Inverter. 10 years replacement warranty GES. 05 years Workmanship||(incl.)||
|

Goodwe is very similar to Sungrow, but if you prefer Sungrow then I would spend a small amount and change to Sungrow.
How much? Who was the company who supplied this quote?
