Solar Panel Quote Check

Hasanul

Hi all,

Just wondering if the following seems a bit expensive:

1 SUPPLY OF PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM (5.93 kWp)
15 x TRINA SOLAR 395W VERTEX S
1 x HUAWEI 5KW HYBRID
2x HUAWEI HUAWEI LUNA2000 5KWH BATTERY MODULE
15 x HUAWEI 450W OPTIMISER
1 x EMLITE BI-DIRECTIONAL METER ECA2.NV
1 x K2 VARIO 

All for £13730 (£1200 of this is for scaffolding)
I'm debating the battery, but not sure how useful it will be, and whether it may be worth knocking it to 1 battery.
I think he said roughly £4000 less without battery. This is all from a local supplier.

I had another quote from World of solar:

Total of 14 Panels ( 14 x Hyundai 480W ) = 6.72kW
Full installation including all access equipment
 MCS certification
HIES 10 year maximum consumer protection
 EPVS validation certificate
25 Year Panel Performance Warranty
 5 Year Fox Inverter Warranty +5 year online upgrade to 10
All roof fixings/cabling/meter/Isolators/Ancillaries
2 years Workmanship Warranty
 Previous Customer Discount x 1
5 x Tigo Optimisers
1 X High Voltage Hybrid Solar Inverter

The above is £9300, and then £11999 with 6.5kW Growatt battery, which going by other discussions is not a battery I will be considering.

I use around 6500-7000 kW per year. Family members do work from home, but also a good amount of electricity used during the evening. Roof faces are SW/SE, and we should have enough space for a 6kW system.
The above quotes seem to be more than what other people are getting, and by a fair amount.

I am based in Birmingham, so if anyone knows of any decent suppliers, I would appreciate a heads up.
I have requested a couple more quotes, but getting them is like drawing blood from stone. A few people have not got back to me, and 1 company kept making recommendations via whatsapp, but after asking for a price 3 times, he just ignored me.

Appreciate any help.

Yh my bad. I realised just after I hit post, that it was the wrong section, and then couldn't figure out how to delete or close this post. 

Appreciate it though.
