Just getting a few quotes for some solar the best one so far is for a syatem that will produce 3.4kwp

12 X EGNG panels all black 285watts
Growattt Inverter
All scaffolding etc £5850
or for £6150 will use Gallium 8.33 panels

we have no sgahding and face south the roof is 6.7 m long 4.1 height and 23% pitch oriention 190
Based in Stoke on trent have had a few other but they varied from £7k upo to £9K

any help appreciated

Seems a tad expensive still.

We had a 4Kw system (All black LG panels) with iboost and generation monitor fully installed for £5750 over a year ago now

I think the problem we are getting is we are getting a rush of installs before January so installation companies are putting their prices up.

Market forces eh, who needs them.

to installers I've spoken to have hinted that wholesalers will be driving up prices too. Their market is going to dry up quite a bit come January so I can see the honesty in those comments. Though I don't think it's fair of course

The panels surely have to reduce due to January as the manufactured volume won't be moving as quickly afterwards.... you'd think.

The other side of the coin is that wholeslaers and distributers will not want to be sitting on lots of stock, if the market is going to go AWOL next year.

So you'd have thought they would rather be pushing everything out the door asap, then re-ording in smaller quantities if they needed to?

Based on roof size, I think that's about the best. You might squeeze 3.6kWp using higher efficiency panels, but that'll push the price up.

For 3.4kWp I'd have thought £5k was the max, but prices are going to be all over the place now, so it's going to be hard to predict/suggest what you will have to pay.

Mart.

Just had another quote for 12 LG 300 watt panels and Trannergy Inverter £5850 fully fitted spoke to the company that supplied my first quote and they have come back saying they can supply the LG300 panels and will do it for £5650 so looks like they have got the business thanks all for the advice
