4kw system with only 8 panels?

Spies · 2021-07-01 09:50:49

My roof only has enough area for 8 panels, I don't want to go for a 2kw system as it doesn't seem as worthwhile, have panel capacities (density?) increased at all to the point where I can get somewhere near 4kw (3.6 would be fine!) Are there installers which would facilitate this?

If those are both too wide the 410W JA Solar bifacials are under 1.1m wide and half the price of Screwdriva's (lovely, I'm sure) LG ones.

I've learnt to never trust a Chinese company's product (or its warranty), especially when product longevity is a factor. No matter how much they may tempt you with their prices.

- 10 x 400w LG + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial Panels + SE 3680 HD Wave Inverter + SE Optimizers. SE London.
- Triple aspect. (22% ENE/ 33% SSE/ 45% WSW)
- Viessmann 200-W on Advanced Weather Comp. (the most efficient gas boiler sold)

Feel free to DM me if I can help with any energy saving!
