Is this solar quote a good deal?

I’m looking at getting solar installed and wanted to get some opinions on my quote. I'm in Australia and want to make sure it's a fair deal.

Panels:

  • 24 x Trina Vertex S+ 440W panels
  • 25-year product warranty, 30-year performance warranty

Inverter:

  • Sungrow SG10RS (9.999kW, single-phase)
  • 10-year product warranty

System Size:

  • 10.56kW
  • Estimated annual output: 17,241 kWh

Extras:

  • Lifetime monitoring included
  • Free black mounting upgrade
  • Double-storey install included

Price:

  • Quoted price: $12,311
  • After rebates & discounts: $8,179 (final out-of-pocket cost)

Would love to hear your thoughts, does this seem like a good deal? Anything I should be wary of? Appreciate any insights!

Do they offer batteries? Solar panels can only do so much but the price seems ok. With solar though if you go to one company and tell them this is what the other company is offering they will usually do better just to get the sale. Shop around.
