Solar & Battery Quote June 2022

Options
Hi, I've just had a quote for solar pv with battery storage and wondered if anyone had recent experience with prices to see if this is reasonable.

I'd like to get a few quotes first, but local companies seem to be unable to give a price at the moment and are just offering to go onto a waiting list due to high demand.

Due to limited roof space, it's also meant having 2 arrays with one on a separate garage, so that's probably also added to the cost.

The current quote is for:

4.10KW system
10 x 410W hyundai panels
Growatt 6.5KW battery
Growatt 3.6KW hybrid inverter
All fitting etc.

Total price: £11,500

    Hi there, 

    Yes definitely try and get more quotes - in my experience this should be around 8.5k to 9k in usual times. Demand and supply is unfortunately pushing up the prices considerably.
    PV total 19.8 kW system:
    23 x 420W East/West split over two flat roof areas at 10 degrees inclination.
    13 x 390W South spit over two flat roof areas at 5 to 20 degrees inclination.
    6 x 390W south wall mounted at 90 degrees inclination.
    7 x 390W West wall mounted at 90 degrees inclination.
    2 x 5 kW hybrid inverters
    4 x 9.5 kWh batteries (38 kWh total)

    Little bit more than I'd pay for that system, I'd expect a bigger battery for that price. At least a 10kW battery
    4.3kwp JA panels, Huawei 3.68kw Hybrid inverter, Huawei 10kw Lunar 2000 battery, Myenergi eddi, South facing array with a 15 degree roof pitch, winter shade.

    Thanks, really appreciate the replies. I did have a figure of around £10k in mind, so it does sound like this is a bit high. For another 6.5KW battery, I was told it would be another £3k.

    I'll have a look around and see if I can get some other quotes.
