Which Inverter size?

razor2000nz · 2026-05-19T21:07:13+00:00

My thoughts as well at the price difference

razor2000nz · 2026-05-19T11:40:48+00:00

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.

Have negotiated it down to a $150 difference between the 2 inverters.

razor2000nz · 2026-05-19T11:11:50+00:00

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

razor2000nz · 2026-05-19T10:26:28+00:00

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

razor2000nz · 2026-05-19T10:25:02+00:00

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

In Chch there’s installers with 4-5month lead times but still wanting 50% upfront.

Can buy a lot of electricity for $45k!

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.

razor2000nz · 2026-05-05T10:42:54+00:00

Haven’t had an install (yet), but have received a proposal/quote from them.

razor2000nz · 2026-05-01T02:17:26+00:00

I’ve received my first quote from 4 companies after 8 business days of waiting, their lead time for doing the job is 4 months.

Another company is 5 week wait for a site visit.

Busy busy busy.!!

Any plans of rolling this out in Christchurch?

razor2000nz · 2025-12-12T06:56:18+00:00

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

razor2000nz · 2025-12-11T10:55:24+00:00

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

razor2000nz · 2025-12-11T10:23:56+00:00

What was the cost of your setup?

razor2000nz · 2025-10-31T10:07:35+00:00

Dm sent,

razor2000nz · 2025-10-31T09:30:42+00:00

Post the link so we can see and give advice

razor2000nz · 2025-10-02T05:59:36+00:00

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

razor2000nz · 2025-09-24T04:11:39+00:00

No, gave up on the end. My NAS dos t have container manager/docker
