Hi Guys,
Thanks in advance for your help.

Perth Solar Force…one of the big sloar companies here.
20x330w Suntech Panels,
5kw Goodwe GW5000D-NS inverter
TOTAL $4059

Just really after your opinion, I’m tempted with quote 1, and upgrading panels. Can’t find much info, so as an industry insider, in your opinion, is it worth paying a few hundred bucks more for Risen, or Longi panels?

Thank you!
Simon.

Personally that’s the kind of thing I like, a good recommendation from a local electrician.

Me too, I’d upgrade the inverter as well. I think it’s worth upgrading to LONGi.

Thanks so much for the reply!

If you had the option to ugrade the panles OR the inverter, which would you choose? I’m thinking that the Goodwe inverter gets a good enough rep, so prob stick with that and upgrade panels…is that a wise choice?

I’ve got budget to upgrade one component, but not both!

Cheers!
Simon

That’s a tough one Simon, I’m struggling with it. Would I be happier with Fronius & ZNShine or LONGi & Growatt :thinking:

Growatt is a much improved inverter with better local support over the last few years. I think Growatt and LONGi is a decent combo. We’ve got a bit of a Growatt review in our best solar inverter article.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
Marty
