12 x Trina 275 Wp estimated annual 3,165 kWh costing £594 less in total outlay.
Obviously income will be greater with the LG but the price difference is going to take several years to make that up. 25 yr performance warranty on both.
Looking at it purely numerical, the cost increase is 9.6%, whilst the generation increase is 9%, so it's pretty much a draw.
Spend more get more, spend less get less. I don't think either choice is right or wrong. If you can afford it, bigger is better long term, but please be careful as I know you are watching the cost carefully.
Or, say you are unsure about the whole thing, dither a bit, and then suggest the bigger system at the lower cost!Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh 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.0 -
Just to keep you all informed, we have ordered our system from Cambridge Solar: £5,500 for the Trina panels with the Solar Edge. Thanks for the help and advice.
