I wouldn't bother with insurance for it.

Hey to clean it up in the meantime just get out some cutting polish compound and get all the white paint off your front bumper. It'll hardly be noticable with that gone!

Well, so far do they think you're in the right or the wrong?

I would;

Supply the witness details to them, and then dont pay the excess yet

Write a letter stating the facts (backed up by the witnesses, but dont include their details) to the DRIVER - leave ther parents out of it for now

Contact the police and just ask them if they would like "a statement from yourself as it was an accident, and its probably best you let them know about it" then the cops will go to the p plater and ask for his version of events. Get a copy of both if you can, or just your one

You can then give this to the insurance company as further documentation that you have done the right thing about this all even though it's not your fault (may not mean much, but you're about to spend big on something you didnt cause so whats the loss)

Then see what the insurance companies decide, if they decide you have to pay, maybe try the p plater in small claims court and sue him for the excess, time off road - every little cost you've incured by his negligence (including time off work to be at court, and court costs), by now the parents will be annoyed, and you could CC them a copy "for their records" just to top their days off, now they'll either give up and pay you to get rid of you, or see you in court, if they choose to do that, show up, and get the witnesses to go along aswel (or statements if they cant go) :dry:

You may want to include the fact you have witnesses prepared to go to court in your letter for a bit of extra effect

Ive sued people for less money than that, and won with less evidence than you have, so it *should* be easy enough

Or you could just pay for the new kit and be done with it

EDIT: If you sue them for an amount like that, its easy to do, go see a Magistrate and do it that way, then when it comes time to tick delivery options for the court letter, choose "Hand delivered by State Sheriff" - it costs them another $50 or so, but imagine the impact that will leave with them all! It shows you're not stuffing around. Also the letter has a "Pay" option, where they can elect to pay the money (set amount) and not go to court, which apparently is the most common way these matters are resolved

omg cant believe they backfires on me, the kiddos mum rings me up? lol, and told me is my fault lol, is that legal anyone? coz i asked why wouldnt let your son speak to me? but she replys hes a "minor', but i goes well hes got has license, which has full responsiblities on what ever happens on the road..

A mother saying its your fault? Who wasnt there? And has only heard one side of the story, from someone who happens to be HER SON?

Biased anyone?

No, its not your fault if you did what you say you did and the witnesses confirm that.

Just for trying to be smart - id really put the screws to them

      Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery

      The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
