Good point - I will check its a fully installed price with the g99
Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

Likely to be work drying up.
People tend to want solar in the spring and early summer as they think it will gain them more

No, it’s just the additional margin solar installers were charging when demand outstripped supply, the same applied all the way up the supply chain.
Now supply has increased and demand has dropped, prices are coming down quickly. Realistically I don’t know how much lower the equipment costs are going to get, it’s very competitive out there at the moment.
It’s such a silly nonsense when people do these sort of things.
Any sensible person would realise you don’t get any less benefit out of the system installing it in October than you do in June, it just lacks the instant gratification.

Yep, especially when its panels and batteries as winter is when the batteries are more valuable vs the summer.

@Welshman @gpuerrilla This is the correct thread for the questions you're asking in the Solar panel production thread 
G100 export limitation is set in the inverter, or sometimes a separate export limit box (no idea how that works). The inverter needs to be certified for G100. You can check if an inverter is certified at https://connect-direct.energynetworks.org/device-databases/search-gen
I've no experience of G100, as I was lucky, but they may need to witness it being setup and commissioned.

Ive amended application to fit 4.6kw inverter instead……so no G100 required then@Welshman @gpuerrilla This is the correct thread for the questions you're asking in the Solar panel production thread

I was just in the process of replying to your DM, suggesting a 4.6kW inverter.
It came via a pallet delivery company in a create on the back of a 7.5T lorry with tail lift - pretty standard for a large delivery like that. It was unloaded with a standard pallet jack and wheeled into the garage easy enough.

Ahh I see so you only have to jump over more hoops if your exceeding what they say is the max. I need to see what max I can have then, but in any case if you have a large battery a limiter will just have to take care of it.
