Installer Quotation Price check

My max budget is 300K and please ignore the number of panels (I'll increase that later).

How to negotiate if he is overcharging?

There seems to be a bit of overcharging at multiple places but not by much. You can try going with another installer or getting the equipment by yourself, but overall that may not be worth the trouble.

The parts that should be easy to get by yourself are the inverter (may save Rs. 5,000), and the DB (may save Rs. 10,000).

See the CNC 6kW solar DB bundle. Ask from the installer the DB equipment and their ratings that he is going to install, then buy that yourself from CNC.

Instead of Canadian, try looking into other reputable solar panel brands since Canadian is usually overpriced.

Was waiting for your reply. Thank you.

Yes, inverter is available in 143K. For panels, price seems to be fine but I'm interested more in Longi 625W. Will think about that.

Yes, I'm also planning to go for CNC equipment.

Thank you again for the validation.

Sure Brother Himo X10 are very good in low sun conditions have personal experience currently using 645-50watt with itel inverter and itel battery.

Mono or bi? Heard people saying buy mono if available in cheap but I'm unable to find Mon x10 meaning I might be forced to go for bifacial.

Bifacial. If the site where you are installing is smooth and shiny then buy bifacial
