Is this quote right? Any opinions?

8 Posts

We decided to look into getting a solar system back at the end of 2020 but never took it any further than the quote stage. We are now again looking at getting an installation done. The system I’ve been quoted for is a 6.6kw and we have a quote also for a Tesla Powerwall. The demand for solar has increased and as we are all aware prices of everything have all risen.
Anyway, this is the system I’ve been quoted for
The PV quote comes in at £13,823 including the following
18 x Canadian Solar 380w panels
Solis 6kw Dual MPPT single phase with DC
On roof mounting system
Pigeon Protection
Emlite 1ph generation meter
Scaffolding included
peripherals included
I understand that there are labour costs and the company is based in the south east and I’m in the south west but looking at some of the wholesale prices this still seems perhaps a bit high? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Tesla Powerwall comes in at around £10,800 which seems in line with the pricing on the Tesla uk site.
Any opinions on the matter would be welcome

Even in this climate they are edging their bets, go elsewhere even if you have to wait.
Prices vary but I found the panels, inverter, and pigeon, protection came to about 7.5k. I find it hard to believe that labour and all the extras cost another 6k.
I know there is going to be a markup from wholesale but come on!
That included scaffold on 2 sides of his home for an east west split.
Is there a reason you want a powerwall? There are cheaper alternatives.
thank you for you comment
I have a Tesla, but decided against the Powerwall on value for money - even though my quote were 8,750 for one and around 16,500 for two.
thanks for the info
Most important though is to get a few quotes to compare.
