That’s quite an assortment. You’ve been quoted for both single phase and three phase inverters, do you have three phase power? If so, you should generally get a three phase inverter.
Option 3 is alarmingly cheap and offers a single phase inverter, and probably lowest ranking panels in my opinion.
The rest look quite appealing, except option 4 has a single phase inverter.
Option 2. We don’t know a lot of Aleo panels, not widely sold in Aus, but unlike many manufacturers that say they make panels in Germany, Aleo actually really does seem to be made in Germany.
Option 1 looks good. Can you find out the actual model number of the Canadian panels?
I like option 1. Here is some more info on Canadian panels.
Bear in mind, the right products is only 50% of the challenge. The other 50% is making sure you’ve got a really good installer/solar company to work with. So focus on the reviews on the companies quoting you.
