No expert in saying whether it's fair or not, but by way of comparison I got
20 400kw sharp panels
8Kw sunsynk inverter
10 Kw Sunsynk battery
Tigo optimisers and gateway
DNO fee
plus full install
£16k"All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest”0 -
Hope you won't mind my saying that quote looks expensive, especially when considering the budget brands on offer.
Here's a quote I've just seen a week ago:
26 X 400W All Black SHARP Panels
26 X SolarEdge Optimizers
1 X SolarEdge Inverter
25 year warranty on everything. ~£11K installed. Scaffolding/ bird netting are typically extra. I'd suggest always going with quality panel and inverter brands over budget options.
Are you certain you need a battery? If you haven't used this calculator, I'd recommend doing so before adding another £4K to the above total.- 10 x 400w LG + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial Panels + SE 3680 HD Wave Inverter + SE Optimizers. SE London.

Can you share who you have used for your install/quote?0
