    Hiya Towser.

    Is that a mistype or was it really for 224Wp panels, since that would total 3.584kWp. Taking it up to a proportional £14,766 for a 4kWp. :rotfl:

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Towser, that seems a reasonable price. Why not ask them to chuck in the iBoost for free and they have a deal?

    Agreed, price is still a little minty but with an iboost thrown in I think it'd be a fair deal!

    Superdoopa, I will. I read somewhere (thread) that they need to be driven hard on the price. I will try my best.

    Thanks
