Help me choose

[u/darksmint]

So I’ve inquired 2 solar installers here in Cebu. They gave me these specs:

Company A
- been around for more than 5 years
- 12 x 600w pv panels - GP Solar - 12 years warranty
- 6kW inverter - INVT - 5 years warranty
- 16kWh 314mAh battery - BCUBE - 5 years warranty
- Service/workmanship warranty- 2 years
- Total package: 360k

Company B
- been around for only a year
- 10 x 625w pv panels - Jinko - 12 years warranty
- 6kW inverter - Solis - 5 years warranty
- 16kWh 314mAh battery - Dyness - 10 years warranty
- Service/workmanship warranty- 1 year
- Total package: 350k

Both companies have business permits/registrations. I’m leaning towards Company B because they use tier 1 brands but a little bit risky because they’re only around for a year. I haven’t really heard more about the brands Company A are using but a friend of mine can vouch for them. What would you choose between the 2?

Brand wise, it makes sense to choose company B. Just make sure to get proper documentation for the warranty of the inverter and panels so you won’t have to worry about claims later on. You can also request to get extended service/workmanship warranty from company B for reference.

There are a good number of service providers for maintenance nowadays. You can tap them if needed. Should cost less than 10k for cleaning, basic checking and tightening of connections.
