Solar Panels Quote

Just to confirm that install was only one roof so there may be additional scaffolding costs etc.

I don't think it depends on location but the type of panels and inverter do make a difference to the price. You can get a 4kw system with 16 Canadian solar panels and an SMA inverter for £5250 (this is the price which a friend of mine recently paid for an install with T P Solar who have quoted you).

For some reason the Solar world panels seem to make the price higher - not sure why but maybe someone with more knowledge may know.

If the OP can get a price like that with Canadians and SMA he/she should jump all over it. Canadians have been around for a while and are the ones I've recommended to my friends and family along with the SMA
As for solar worlds, all panels roughly perform the same, there is no reason to buy more expensive panels other than if you are space restricted, something which the OP isn't

If the micro inverters are fitted behind the panels then you may end up paying for a scaffold every time one fails. Many come with decent guarantees but it usually doesn't cover the cost of labour.

My 4kW array cost £4000 in June 2013.

Micro inverters provided by Enphase have a very long MTBF. I did study the reliability of the inverters before making my decision. The value of long term guarantees is very questionable. This is where it is important to look beyond price alone and weight up the reliability of the supplier/installer. The installer did assure me that he would replace the inverters if needs be and I trusted that he would (at least in the near term). The installer has a mini scaffold tower for repairs where a ladder does not suffice. Oh yes, I do have some tree shading.

You may be better starting your own thread rather than attaching yourself to another

Had the Business Development Manager at CJ Solar on the phone - They will price match any genuine like for like offer that we get , so who else can i get to quote fairly quickly , via email or internet ?

No, you weirdo












Why haven't you got panels already :rotfl:

Most of us will admit to getting a little excited, but if you have any obsessions - be afraid!! There's a new one coming!
