Solar Quotes - any help appreciated

Jebelious

Hi All, back after a long break but a big purchase decision here.

I have been looking at getting some quotes in for solar as I am thinking its about the right time to get it, here are the 2 I currently have. Jus to note I have read a few posts on here prior to posting but wanted to see if I could get some bespoke guidance from people in the know.

We have a combi boiler no immersion heater or tank.

Local Company: quote 1

12. 390 all black PV modules
4kw dual tracker solar PV inverter
All black centre and end clamps
Clik aluminium PV module rail

All required Clik rail clamps
Duel 4mm twin insulated DC cable
All required electrical work
All necessary scaffolding
1. PV generation meter
All required electrical work for the i-Boost

Modules and inverter carry a five year warranty

Quote 2: Project Solar

12 Modules (no colour options etc)
no other details on the other items included in the quote
No battery
£9999.99 (this was after their initial quote of £11200)
Lifetime warranty on work and panels.

After reading peoples suggestions I am thinking it should be more towards the 5600 > 6000 for the solution but I am not really sure what I need to be asking for to get more information. Any assistance would be appreciated

Hiya, do you have a price on that first quote. Probably best to just ignore the second quote.

Sorry yes was £8000 (7999)

Still quite high.

Is there anything unusual about your roof? Are the panels split across multiple aspects, requiring several sets of scaffolding?

I'm surprised the inverter only has a 5 year warranty I thought they were 10 years as standard. Seems a high price fir just a 4.5kwh array if I'm honest.

Not much use for an i-Boost if you have a combi boiler and no immersion heater or tank? Curious as to what the installer thinks the i-boost will do?

We live in a dorma, they are only putting the panels on the pitch roof area.
