    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    If in South Essex area, ICM Electrical. I had quotes from Cahill Renewables and Green Energy Electrical, both for 8 panel (375/400W) 10kwh battery systems, both north of £15k.

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    That is true, power cuts here are very infrequent. For instance you see techies in the US talk about UPS all the time but i don't have one and never felt the need for one.

    Scaffolding

    I've heard stories whereby they've got a job coming up in the area and its cheaper and easier for them to leave it around an old job for a week or so than move it from one to the other than to take it down, take it back to base, store it, and then go out and put it up close by at another house...

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    So i've asked about this inverter situation and whether a bigger one should be used and got the following response: "Re the inverter, we are advised when specifying inverter sizing that the system should be 120% of the inverter rating as the limited time the panels will see the full 4500W means...

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    Previously told max i could get was 8 and this company reckons they can get 9 on. Doubt i can get more on due to my hipped roof.

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    If you open out the thumbnail you can see that next doors roof to te east is open gable and thus in morning, especially in winter, shades the lower bit of the roof. Additionally further to the south east are two large-ish trees that provide some shading hence the optimisers in my quote. Anyone...

    Composite door question

    I'd be calling the installers back round to sort it out, that is unacceptable.

    Any decent composite door manufacturers?

    I've got a Solidor front door, with a car key like key for the lock. A vast improvement on my UPVC that was there when we bought it. Don't think the local company i used was anywhere near the prices above though.

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    Thank you very much for this information. I am restricted by roof shape and a soil stack, i suggested going landscape orientation to fit more on and doing three rows but both companies think they can still only fit 8.

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    I could but not many and probably only on the upper portion of each side as the lower ones would be shaded by my neighbours open gable roofs i think, despite being detached. Probably not so much in summer but more in winter where the sun is low. First one Colchester, second one Chelmsford...

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    Nope. Its a fairly large detached home, just a stupid hipped roof which means my south facing roof is not as large as next doors. Otherwise identical houses, but he can get 20 on his, i can get 8. Have a conservatory that will need a new roof to make it less a furnace in the summer and a freezer...
