Advanced Renewable Power (ARP) any good?

Hi

Anyone used ARP in North East ? Good reviews
on energy websites.
Use German 'Schletter' mounting system & LG
solar panel (300 kW)

They have also offered Eco-System optimiser
& triangular 250 kW panels.

Anyone had any experience with ARP?

All comments welcome.
Thanks in advance!

    Forget the eco optimiser thungy, domestic properties very, very rarely benefit from these, unless you have a mansion and 3 phase electric?

    Triangular panels - unless you have a tiny hipped roof, can't see any benefit from them? They will be massively expensive too?

    Are the LG panels exclusive to them? Unless you have space issues on your roof, the premium for higher wattage panels is not worth it over "normal", and much cheaper 250w panels.

    What make of inverter? Although I'm guessing with triangular and premium panels they will specify micro inverters?

    Never heard of the company but the spec sounds familiar!
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.

    Those sound massive. How big is your roof?
