Is $16,217 to install a 7.48kW solar PV system with a 26.68kWh battery a fair price?
Project Details
I am a desperate son helping my single mum, who is an Aged Care worker in Victoria. We are struggling with high energy bills, totaling $634 per month. This includes approximately $150 for our 4-bedroom house electricity and $484 for charging her Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid EV (which has an 18.4kWh battery). We are first-time solar buyers and are nervous about the quote, wondering if the price is legitimate and if the 26.68kWh battery system is oversized or necessary to cover the house and 40+ EV charges a month. We also need information on accessing the Victorian Solar Panel Rebate (up to $1,400) and other state support, as the quote only includes federal STCs. Getting this system installed would be life-changing for our family.
