Install completed today without a hitch. 4 dudes showed up at 8 (2 roofers, 2 sparks), rails and panels were on the roof by 11 and the system was commissioned and they'd left site by 3pm.
I'd cleared a 2x1m spot on the wall in the garage for the inverter, BMS and battery. Then planned the route for the DC run down from the loft, through the soil stack housing into the garage etc. so the installers didn't have to do all that. Made for a very smooth install.
Just waiting on details for the SolarEdge HD Wave, but I'm setup on the GivEnergy site with all the gubbins. It's a terribly grey day here, but for a brief moment earlier we were generating more than we were using and exported a bit which I'm pleased with considering how naff it is.
Also kind of annoyed SolarEdge have locked down their local API now, was looking forward to getting that integrated with HomeAssistant. I'll start hacking about it with it in a few days.
I'll take some decent pics tomorrow when the sun is shining hopefully.
