Entire solar roof would be awesome but a lot more difficult and time consuming than a panel install.
I'm not sure. In a way, I think EVs will limit the useful size of home batteries.With people moving completely to electric for heating and EV cars I can see people using 60Kwh batteries...if you had enough solar to fill them up you can run a bitcoin miner or two. Free bitcoin from the sun
why do you need the above when they have already told you the measurements and what can be fitted??had someone round today to measure loft they said it looks really good.
Internal measurements of loft were 6.1m Width and 4m length with 4m rise with 32 degree pitch but when I enter the rise and length I get this, what am I missing?
They also said 3x3 panels, no chance for 10 so won't even get a 4kw system
just wanted to double checkwhy do you need the above when they have already told you the measurements and what can be fitted??
I confused myself on that, but thisI'm not sure what your're counting as width / length, or what shape your roof is.
What size panels are being quoted for?
6 x 4 is the dimensions of the loft though, not the roof. And, according to that diagram, there's a peak in the middle? I'm confused.6m x 4m should be fine for 3 rows of 3 landscape, assuming typical 1.8 x 1.2 (ish) dimensions

Not that it changes anything. If that's what they've measured - that's what'll fit. I expect they know full well what they're doing.
This is what was in the quotation
They know its a pitched roof, this is what the chap wrote down
Its all french to me but im guessing the 4x6 is the inside loft area (Although measuring from corner to corner of home the 4m is ~2m short when I went down the alleyway) and I was told and floor to ceiling was 4m I was told over phone.
Edit
This was their original quote
Was hoping to go with a bigger system for a 5kw inverter for the higher load that can be delivered to house before feeding from grid, might get an extra battery though.
But you cant have a bigger system as the panels wont fit…….to fit four panels in landscape, that would be 4 x 1.67 = 6.68mtrs.This is what was in the quotation
