Which brand of solar panel & home battery to buy?

PickleRick2018

Hi everyone, I’m looking to install solar panels on our house for the first time *plus* install a home battery.

I am completely new to this area, so wondered if you guys could advise what brands of solar panel offer a balance of quality at moderate prices & the same for home batteries.

At the moment I’m only aware of the premium brand - Tesla - and would like to see what moderate options cost & what quality & warranty they offer.

We have a 3 bedroom semi detached house. With approx 30 square metres of perfectly south facing roof, with no obstruction or shade on that roof.

We live in Sussex so again great for solar.

In terms of energy needs - we have a 24 kWH Nissan Leaf Which is fully charged per day, 2 adults & 2 big dogs (no children). So it looks like we use 28 kWh each day. I can confirm/edit that tonight

Thanks all

I would be just more worried about the quality of the contractor installing them. This is more important than the manufacturer.

I think Mitsubishi are one of the leaders on manufacturing panels.

Welcome to the forum.

I suggest you re-post your query in the 'Green and Ethical' section of this MSE forum; this is where the experts discuss all such matters.

Will do, Cardew, thanks

Home storage is still very expensive, not yet an economic choice, but if you've got an EV and it's parked at home during some or all of the day, you can get EV chargers which will control the charging rate to track the output from the solar panels.

So ensure your solar output is going to your EV, this sort of thing
