Hi all,
Got a detached house 35+ degrees from south ( towards East) new build Redrow, presume it is a 30o pitch.
8m wide and I would love Solar panels. Just been to Ikea and they quoted a 3KW system annual roof generation of 2451 kWh.
25 Hanergy modules. 120w
1x sma SB3000HF-30 inverter
Cost
£5300
Novice here so what should I expect.
My roof is 8m wide and they calculated that it would have an area of 48m2. (6mx8m)
Any help on this or a better installer would be amazing thanks.

Considering that a 4kwp system would cost around the same price then I'd say it's a bit pricey. Have a shop around and get some quotes,you only need around 25sq metres for a standard 4k system (16 panels)2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)0

You should be able to get 16 250W panels on there, which would a 4kWp system, which is a pretty optimum level.
Get some independants out to do quotes for you. A 4kWp system seems to be coming in at around £6k these days...
