Hi every one, any help would be appreciated
I am just about to purchase a 3kw system, the quotes that i am choosing from are $4500 for a jfy inverter & 16 tian neng panels or
$5250 for growatt inverter & 16 phono panels, or
$5000 for a samilpower inverter with 16 ec panels, i can read good and bad reveiws on all of the above,
thank you

None is best but all are competing for the worst

SMA
power one
Fronius
Motech

REC
Suntech
DAQO
Solarfun
Qcells
COnergy
Bosch
Sanyo
Astronergy

come back with quotes for gear including above gear, anyone selling the above is likely to have done some due dilligence as opposed to a fly by nighter. check out whirlpool for the horror stories and pay an extra grand for well known Brands.

EM does cheap systems with DAQO and Macsolar these days and there is a Saturday special this weekend at around that money with an SMA inverter, tough to beat.

Karl, you leave out CMS, and yet our experience with SolarEnertec panels is fine, and at least the CMS2000 seems fine.. and there are others that I have heard of with no problems.

Whilst you understandably sell EM products, you must recognise that others are equally praiseworthy and represent good value.

.. Nothing against EM and their products !

I can make the comments because I get nothing from EM, not even a birthday card !

CMS omitted from my list as in reality although i do like them.....
dad bought 2 had one fail
i bought 2 had one fail -despite the fact i managed to fix it by reflashing the software myself and that it was potentially caused by a grid spike.

Solar enertek panels?? OK sure but hardly award winning.

most of the brands above, we don't sell either, but i'd be compromised in my objectivity if i didnt mention other good brands, even if they are the competition.
