I’ve got a quote for a solar PV and battery - but unsure wether this is a good deal and decent components as hard to find reviews online. Do people think this is good value and decent components?

In general terms? Yes, that's looks like a good deal. You'vre got £5-6k-worth of solar PV plus £2k-worth of battery."No scaffolding" helps with the price!N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile. Ripple Kirk Hill member.

The only things I might add is as things will be zero vat rated.
Can you fit more panels where ever you are putting them ?
Is the battery enough ?
Also if they are going on a roof bird protection maybe.
8kw system spread over 6 roofs , surrounded by trees and in a valley.1
