    Same, also confused when they dropped the hybrid unit. There's only one item on the kit list. These guys don't install, they just supply all the bits to my requirements. I will give them a bell on Monday as maybe something being lost over email.

    Yep, already decided - thanks for your input binky. Just finalising the kit order at the moment. I told the suppliers that I will want to split off the EV to continue charging from the grid off peak as it will completely sap the batteries on a small solar system like that with 10-12kwh of...

    It really isn't a lot of work for two guys - It's six solar panels on a low access roof, no scaffold. cable runs dropping down into the very same garage with the battery and and inverter fixing to an empty wall other than the consumer unit which they can wire into which has two spare ways on it...

    Yes I got all that schpiel from them when I challenged the price. It's two guys for one day so 1.2k+ day rate as far as I'm concerned. I know how these things work, I work in IT consulting, there's all kinds of costs behind the scenes but the clients just pay a day rate at the end of the day...

    2.5k was just the labour costs for what would be one day's work.

    Felt. Not the sort of stuff that goes of your shed, proper thick stuff.

    Actually I just measured it, it's 9 degrees. The solar installers who quoted designed it in and were happy to install onto that roof (which is new) so not worried about that part.

    It's a long south facing double length garage but pitched at about 20 degrees so shouldn't be too bad. Am planning on using Renusol sandbag mounts as that's what the MCS installer quoted. I just downloaded the G98 from UK Power Networks, it's a VERY basic Word document 😆 So I can get away with...

    I was recently quoted 2.5k for installation of a small 2.4kw solar system plus ~10kwh battery system. No scaffolding required on an easily accessible flat garage roof. Having trained and working as an electronics technician back in the day and years doing basic electrical DIY at home, I am...
