Hey Everyone

In the interest of not getting fleeced on installation costs, what is the ballpark installation-only cost for a backup solution

Equipment i have:
 

• 70mm2 single-core HV DC cable 1m
• 70mm2 single-core HV DC cable 1m
• KETO 1 Battery Disconnector with 200A Fuses
• 70mm2 Cable Terminal Lug M10 - Single x 4
• Sunsynk Sun 8K Hybrid Inverter
• Sunksynk Battery LFP Wall Mount 5.12Kwh 51.2V
• battery cables
• Earth neutral bridge

 

Items to be supplied by the installer:
 

• Trunking
• Cabling to the main DB (Estimated distance of 5-6m)
• Odds and Ends

Thanks a mil in advance

I would guess, if it’s a slow Joe like myself 2 & 1/2 days.  (Exclude pv panel and combiner box)

1 x day on  the DB board for change over switch with ct coil, circuit breakers, labelling trunkings.

1 x day to fit inverter with fuses, battery, bond relay, trunkings, isolators & wiring.

1/2 x day for commissioning, test and COC and possibly driving around sourcing materials not on site.

My thought would be about R8000 minimum, I might be way off but would think thats a reasonable price from a registered electrician with one assistant.
