INSTALLED 2011 3.9kw system £ 9685.19p, with a fit contract for 25 years with RPI inflation proofing to boot.

Fortunately the tree has come down and we've fitted optimisers to try and get to break-even within 25 years.
Central Beds, 2.02kWp (9 x 225W) south facing with some morning shade, installed 2011 (£7.16/Wp). Tigo monitoring/optimisers on all panels, Growatt MIC 2000 TL-X Inverter and Solar iBoost installed 2022. (4 x 415W + 6 x 405W garden experiment connected to SunSynk 3.6 hybrid inverter & 2 x 5.3kWh SynSynk batteries) (4 x 405W panels queued to go somewhere)0 -
