New to Solar Panel and Solar Energy - any advice
Hi
I am looking at installing Solar on my roof. Been quoted £7k for 11 SHARP All Black Solar Panel 400W panels. This does not include storage. With a battery its £10k and return on investment within 8 years. They have also said that they could integrate the panels into the roof by stripping the tiles and installing on the roof battens which looks pretty nice
I will be honest with you that I have no idea about solar and what I should be looking for - so would you say this is a decent price?

You would be better off posting this in the Green and Ethical Moneysaving board. There is a lot of discussion about solar set ups and prices there.

Yep - lots of posts here that you might find useful.0 -
I had 14 x 370w panels (5.18kWp array), which was ordered back in May and paid £5,216
Your quote for a 4.4kWp array is a lot higher than mine was, but the recent demand has probably increased the price0 -
different types of panels, too, some work better in shade than others0
