Still thinking if now is the right time to avail solar?

About 3 months ago I listened to the most, to wait until rainy days for solar installer to lower their offers. but the prices didn’t drop. but We decided not to wait any longer and look for installer. why?

1st - recent news of Super El Niño (universal news) (yes even rainy days starting Oct if I’m not mistaken)
2nd - the demand is still there and for me it’s not a hype anymore it’s necessity(if you have budget).
3rd - prices might increase due to the Super El Niño (later)
4th - Meralco rates continuously increasing (because of war/oil) and other addtl taxes. (hate to pay over price electricity)
5th - Our bill almost doubled (700kWh to 1200kWh)

This month We finally have hybrid setup.

2 almost close deal
2 oculars

been looking for installer from the past 3 weeks. Ask so many installers deals, almost close a deal with 2 installer but didn’t push. first (I believe I posted it before) they block my number when Im about to close the deal (already have quotation) then I just saw in their page that they increase their price. and in the second their price is a good deal with good inverter and battery brands but they ask for 70%DP (red flag for me sorry, didn’t want any hassle), and finally I decided to go with the one that didn’t ocular us (haha) the installer is from Antipolo with good page reviews and legit, gave them all the pictures and measurements they need for the wirings and roof (for panels capacity) responsive to chats, payment after installation and with permits (attached in their quotation big green flag).

for info of my setup:

10kw hybrid Inverter - Solax X1-Lite-10K-LV (10yrs Warranty)
16kWh Solax TSYS LF160 (8000cycles) (10yrs Warranty)
18pcs X Jinko 635W (12 yrs Warranty)
1 year workmanship

Hope this helps you decide today!

Solax inverter x battery Good?

I have option for:
1.) Solax inverter x Solax Battery (10years warranty)

2.) Deye Inverter x Alltopelec battery (5years warranty)

with specs of 10kw Inverter and 314AH battery + 18panels

At first I chose the deye option but change my mind for solax promo, since I chose better battery than better inverter, though solax has a good reputation in inverter too. but I’d like to ask for users of Solax if you’re having a hard time with solax inverter or battery.

TIA
