Maybe my experience, although in Cape Town, can help u. Installed a 5kw Sunsynk and a Hubble battery a few months ago. I bought the inverter and battery myself.
Installer provided everything else and charged me R 13 400 including CoC amendment.
Your list doesn't include a protection box with change over switch and surge protection, which was R 3450 on my quote. Apparently surge protection is not a requirement yet, but is coming soon.

My installation was right next to the existing DB.

7-10K with CoC labour only. Any kit supplied as additional line items.

Labour & COC amendment on mine was about R 7400.

Any chance you can dm me details of the electrician that did your installation? I’m getting ludicrous quotes for installation.
