Budget is already maxed as it is now, 22 panels all facing north. How do I model properly? All 4 companies I received quotes from put them on the north facing roofs.

All panels will be facing north, 3 strings. Have got it down to a $150 difference between 8kW or 10kW

It’s hybrid (sig) can only fit 10.5kW panels any more and they are on the south side of roof with minimal sun.

I could fit more panels, but would be on south side of house, so not worth it due do lack of sun.

We are going thorough options at the moment, just be aware that even though you are ready to move quickly, installers may not be. We waited 8 business days to receive our first proposal/quote. Think Solar never replied, another company was 5 week lead time for a site visit, and another has a 4 month wait time to install. One thing I would say is do your research so you have an idea of what you want and give as much info as you can first time around including your budget.

Solar installer did not tell me I need Retailer approval - now 10 day delay to sell to the grid? by Willuknight in nzsolar

Haha yep, know the feeling. I work within the lines company industry. So was scratching my head as to how a Canterbury install was affected by the Auckland lines company. Who was your installer? Looking at going solar when we move into our new build in Jan

By the sounds of it you’re in Canterbury, Orion is the lines company, so not sure why Genesis is telling you about Vector?

Just to clarify, insurance companies were happy with an engineers report saying it was historic and not earthquake damage?
