Brisbane, some shading. Battery distant future. EV car very distant future. High usage. Both options will put panels on tin with future expansion to 120sq tile if needed. Highly reviewed and reputable installers. After gov discount (AUS dollaroos).
Thanks @Marty, also appreciate the community that has been built here.
I may be using more of the tile roof since a lot of the cost here (I think) is labour and have asked for a modified quote for this. I have a minor concern that IQ8 isnt here yet and I would like to use its power outage benefit in the future if possible so leaving roof space for using them later was a thought.
That said don’t get a lot of outages.
Goals in order:
Removing (ideally) or reducing electricity bill ($200 a month with ~350, 2850 year).
A quality system that will last, staying in this house not moving.
Return on investment
Connection with home automation system for effective use of it.
Ok well looks like this system would tick those boxes. According to our Solar Simulator you’d cut around 90% of your bill out. It’s a quality system. You might be able to do a bit better on ROI if you got that price down a bit, but if they are a really good company then it’s probably worth it.
