    Hi, I am looking at solar panels and wondered if the price is about right. We are looking at 46 x 415w all black Trina panels with solar edge optimisers and a 10kw solar edge inverter. Comes in at £24700. It sounded a lot but then it’s a lot of panels. We have an East, South and West even split so should be a good supply through the day. Going to use a relay for underfloor heating and an immersion heater. 
    That's insanely overpriced, Phil. Both my installers would install 46 (arguably superior ) SHARP 410W Panels + SolarEdge inverters + Optimizers for ~£17K with the 20+ year warranty on everything! That should be the price you are targeting (assuming no battery or bird netting).
    -  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!
