[QUOTE="revor, post: 525223, member: 23254"] Think it is a bit OTT to ask for 15 quotes. Anyway it is not just the price quality is important both the installation and the equipment. I think it is important that the inverter and battery have been proven to work together as the BMS is in some way or other is split between them. When you have chosen a couple of likely installers ask to see their work. I had got good rapport with an installer liked the guy very much and believed could get on with him. We went to see a job and it was an external ground array and I spotted the cable going from the array underground through a ducting was opaque white and braided. I asked the guy what sort it was and got told it was a super flexible cable for going through ducting. As I had never heard of this before I queried it on this forum and think it was Binky who pointed out it was SY cable and not suitable for this type of work. I queried this fact with the installer and he never replied. He never got the job. Then the other day quite by accident came across this.
