Professional SolarHive installer. Problems with proposal.

The installation contractor was SolarHive (www.solarhive.netau (under construction ) or Facebook SolarHive). The workmanship was very professional and Scotty, the owner, had an excellent technical understanding of the solar panels, Enphase system and Enphase batteries. I would certainly recommend SolarHive for any future solar installation work. The connection to the Enphase system is excellent and the panels were split between the 3 phases.
The initial quote was prepared by Ulladulla Solar which was very good and comprehensive. The salesperson was very friendly.
Unfortunately, there was an issue with the compatibility between the REC solar panels (which are highly rated) and the Enphase microinverters. The microinverters had to be replaced with an earlier version with a low power cut-off. Unfortunately, this was not communicated to me during the proposal, and I was only told about this when the installer came to undertake the installation. It appears that this issue was brought up by the installer with Ulladulla Solar but not communicated to me. If this has been addressed during the proposal phase, I could have changed the configuration as I understand there are microinverters that have a higher power cut-off with the REC panels. Also, I may have changed the panels.
Thus my 6.72kW system has now been reduced to a 5.04kW system. I just think this issue should have been highlighted early and not selling a 5.04kW system as a 6.72kW system. Thus, value for money has been rated low and Ulladulla Solar should have been aware of this issue.
I was also given two start dates for the installation by Ulladulla Solar, but this did not eventuate. While I understand that the wet weather led to delays, it appears that there was a communication breakdown somewhere.

Great result

Very happy with the the whole procedure. I thought all three quotes were good, not much between them. Price was not my only criteria, but Ulladulla Solar were the cheapest.

Our solar installation

The quote process was good. I was shown a couple of options and there was no sales pressure.
We had a 16 Panel (Trina 415) 6,6kv system installed with Enphase microinverters. Scott and his offsider were pleasant to deal with and completed the job in about 6 hours. The workmanship looks great and the cleaned up any mess. They organised the grid connection.
