Solar Panels Melbourne

[land864]

Can anyone recommend a reputable electric solar panel suplier and installer in Melbourne.

We are looking to get an approx 2.0kW system installed.

A company had a TV deal happening today at $ 2600 for a 1.9 kW system. Not sure if that was supply and install but after reading some online solar forums we will not use them as this particular company had lots of bad feedback.

It's called upselling, advertise the cheap stuff and upselling to a larger system

Spend the money and buy a sunny boy, aurora or xantrax inverter, I've picked up a bit of warranty work on on cheap systems, they'll be nothing but rubbish in the future

Also why now? I'd be waiting a while now

Do you expect that here will be better offers as the demand will go down now that the premiun feed in tariff is more less closed. Or do you expect some new tariff to once again encourage people to take up PV again.

Hi the bloke we used to install our 5kw system did a really good job. He is very fussy but worth it. The system works really well.
The only problem you might have is convincing your power company that you have solar panel. It has taken us nearly 5 months and 2 calls to the ombudsman to get origin energy to sort themselves out!
PM me if you want the phone numbers

Origin are ****!
They've been messing me around for months now with no resolution in sight.
I'm speaking to the ombudsman this week.

Good Luck, Last time we rang there is at least a 4 week wait for the ombudsman to even look at your prob. But your sooo right about Origin, so far we have spent 14 hours on hold and just get swapped from billing to new accounts and then back to where we started from. Every time they put us through to another department we go back on hold for hours and still get no-where?
HOW ANYONE CAN RUN A BUSINESS LIKE THIS IS BEYOND ME.

Is it worth changing suppliers, or does it have to be origin?

I think prices/margins will drop quite a bit, no idea on what free money the government will give, if any, I hope so, but that's merely for my hip pocket

Be wary on who you buy off, keep in mind, the warranty is worth little if the company is no longer

a good 2KW system is gonna average around 7KW/hr's a day, you have to be a fair miser for that to cancel your bill

I wish I understood solar. Every time I read the literature I get confused with "signing over" rights and get cold feet.
I have the ideal roof for solar - pitched, north facing, 50sqm or so of available space - but still too chicken - it all just has the air of dodgieness about it.

Anyone who knows of a good site to read, without all the claptrap, I would be interested.

Sorry about the dirft.
