We have already shared the project details from its inception. One of our valued customers was looking for an 8kW solar system installation in Springvale with Fronius, TrinaSolar, and a smart energy meter. Not just that, he also wanted us to communicate with United Energy for meter consolidation (since the customer had two meters installed). In this blog, we’ll share some visuals of the professional installation, customer’s feedback and the system cost.
Installation details
8kW solar system installation: Our adaptable quoting approach
As we offer unlimited free solar quotes (e.g. you can get unlimited solar quotes with combination of various components e.g. inverters or solar panels, batteries).
First quote: Fronius, smart energy meter and TrinaSolar
Our customer initially wanted a 8kW solar system with Fronius Primo 6.0kW inverter, TrianSolar and a smart energy meter, we gave him a quotation of $2,973. Below is the feedback from the customer:
I checked the new quotes, the up-front cost is $2,973.00, it is really too expensive for my finances (especially the hard-life and inflation). Fronius is too expensive for me. In your previous reply, you told me that the up-front cost is around $1.750.00 if using GoodWe 6kW or more cheaper inverter like Sungrow?. Can you give me quotes for these 6kW inverter, Smart Meter and 7.92kW Solar Panel. One more question, Can I upgrade and add Solar Battery for this system in future ?
Customer’s feedback on the provided quote
Secondquote: Sungrow, smart energy meter and TrinaSolar
We proposed him $2,700 for Sungrow Residential SG8.0RS-ADA (8kW), smart energy meter and Trina Solar Vertex S+ TSM-440NEG9R.28 (440W).
Third quote: GoodWe smart energy meter and TrinaSolar
We gave him another quote with GoodWe DNS G3 GW6000-DNS- 30 (6kW), Trina Solar Vertex S+ TSM-440NEG9R.28 (440W) and GoodWe smart energy meter: $1,950 that he accepted 👍.
Installation preferences
The customer requested that the solar system be installed on specific days and at a particular time. Our retailer acknowledged this requirement, and the installation team was able to complete the installation on the customer’s preferred schedule 😉.
Separate quotation for battery storage
All the proposed inverters are battery ready. Customer asked details for few batteries e.g. AlphaESS, GoodWe battery. He decided to opt battery storage later.
Meter consolidation issue addressed
Our retailer timely communicated with the United Energy and resolved the meter consolidation issue for the customer.
8kW solar system technical details
The solar system installed for the customer has a total capacity of 7.92 kW DC (STC). It is comprised of 18 Trina Solar Vertex S+ 440W monocrystalline solar panels, with a total estimated annual production of 11,648 kWh. The inverter powering the system is a single-phase GoodWe GW6000-DNS-30 with a 6,000W capacity and 97.9% maximum efficiency. The overall system efficiency is estimated at 95%. Before the solar installation, the customer’s average monthly electricity bill was $108.25, totaling $1,299.03 annually. However, with the new solar system in place, the customer is projected to have a first-year average monthly bill of $0.64 credit, resulting in an estimated annual savings of $1,306.72.
