    OK my signature should be updated now. Very slow start down here today, as it has been cloudy all morning.
    My production will be a little down at the moment as the scaffolding is still up and casts shadows on the panels at present.

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to help my b-I-law in South Wales who has only now decided to get solar pv !
    His first quote for a 3kw system was £7500 !!! and I told him that was way over the top.
    He's just emailed me a quote from a Bristol company - Sunlight Future for £5500.
    Having just looked at the quote I'm very surprised that they are basing his production figures on a property near Lulsgate ( by Bristol Airport !!).
    It's been a while but I thought that companies had to produce a projected production forecast when giving pv quotes now ?
    I haven't managed to speak to my b I l yet but wanted to ask - anyone dealt with this company and is this sort of quote the norm nowadays ?
    It could be that this has been produced on the basis of a phone enquiry only - then I could possibly understand so I don't want to slate the company completely until I know for sure.
    Cheers ....Nobby.
