Panel is okay. But I would avoid those inverters like the plague.

Good brands for inverter from China includes Goodwe, Solis, Sungrow and Huawei.

Did you have bad experience with SAJ/Sofar/INVT?

Search, Australia forums and groups are a good resource.

Learn from other people’s mistake. Don’t need to have bad experience in everything lol. We have abundance of option in Malaysia and Solis & Goodwe + Huawei are solid choices.

In any case, that’s just my personal opinion that I would avoid it like the plague. I would avoid Peugeot cars too. But anyone can go ahead and buy with their money.

Ask for Solis brochure. Cannot seems to find your model ending with S. Because there's a newer model that can accept higher current

Hi guys,

I’ve got a quotation from solaroo and the parts they gave are

Solar modules: Longi Solar
Inverters: Hoymiles Micro-inverter HMS-1800

Want to ask if Hoymiles inverter any good? As compared to Huawei’s fusion solar?

Pretty noob at this.

Thanks!
*
Ask them if they willing to let you used S-miles app. Already many complaints on them previously regarding this issue!

I think the app they are using is Solaroo’s own mobile app. Any idea how bad it is for this app?

Useless app from what their customer feedback. Reason for micro inverter is can see individual panels generations but their app don't have this feature.

Yes you are right
Wondering how you can guess it correctly

I have asked many solar panel suppliers
And many said can't support as awning due to the weight of the panel
Except this Epsilon
So still skeptical if it really works
*
Only Epsilon & me selling thinkpower for now! brows.gif
Ask for a shop drawing of the awning. I remember there was another vendor offering solar as awning but just cannot remembered whom!

hi, want to ask. i got a proposal recently for 16kW system. However, the inverter is rated 15kW only. And under NEM 3.0 guidelines, capacity limit for 3 phase residential is max 12.5kW. Will this be illegal?

Technically 12.5kW inverter is non existent, next level is 15kW. If SEDA can approved your 15kW inverter it won't be illegal.

Got another quote. 740w panels. 19.4kWp, but inverter 12.5kWp.

Does it make sense?
*
Wasting your panel energy, 20 panels enough & asked for catalog of this 12.5kW inverter & panels.

Had an installer come to my house and give me a quote, due to my roof being made up of multiple pyramid shapes, they suggest to do a separate structure on the roof to hold all the solar panels. Unfortunately, the cost have gone up by RM7k. Anyone knows which company has smaller panels so I can install without the structure?

Worst than this? brows.gif

I think mine is probably worse. On the triangle shaped side, max can only put 2 panels and this is only possible for 2 sides. All other sides can only fit in 1 panel each. The panels are around 2m x 1m.

Better go for micro inverter or possible to use panels as garage rooftop awning?
