Solar Quote; advice

currently in the process of moving home, and the new place has an unshaded south facing roof, so Solar seems like a good idea (even in Scotland :) )

Had a few quotes and currently by far the best is: 

4.86kw - 12 x 405w JA Solar Panels

3.6kw - 1 x Solis Hybrid Inverter

5kwh - DC Battery (PureDrive or Fox Ess, depending on stock at the time of instllation)

Mounting System

Solis Monitoring Portal
 

Fully Installed Price of £8653.73 Including VAT @ 0% 

Additional costs of:
£350 for bird netting
£680 for putting critical circuits on their own board so they can be powered by the battery in a powercut 


is there anything there to be wary of/query with the installer? completely new to all this so not certain of anything to look out for
