Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

@Alex_L That's incredibly expensive.

  1. 12 x panels = £835.
  2. 12 x Enphase IQ8A = £1615.20

Thats £2450 for the panel and inverters, and I've not even shopped around!

There is no battery included, no scaffold costs included, London or not that's extremely expensive.

Is there any need for micro inverters?
  1. Are the panels on different roofs?
  2. If so how many roofs?
  3. Are there any shading issues?
Is there room to fit more panels?

As others have said, incredibly expensive, scaffolders will want another £500-£800 on top of that also.

You should be paying a lot less than that including scaffolding.

12 panels is a one day job for 2 roofers and an electrician if you want to gage labour costs.

Edit:That said dlockers is down in Surrey and just paid £650 for someone to skim his garden office excluding materials…

Edit2: both the Tesla power wall 3 and sigenergy system are both hybrid inverters and want DC directly from the solar panels. You don’t want to be using enphase micro inverters with them, waste of money IMO.

You’ll be better off getting it all installed at the same time. Even now after prices have crashed, there is good margin in installing solar and battery products, you’ll be paying that twice getting it installed piecemeal.

Edit3: a power wall 3 and 12 solar panels should still be a 1 day job for 3 people.
