Hi
As per my post ref Inverter, I have had 3 quotes, all rough as not moved in yet. 2 companies are local and both I know in some ways.
Supplier 1:,
13 x 410KW (Sharp), Fox ox Hybrid ESS inverter 5.33KWh and 5 KWh Fox battery, iboost, manual change over (if we get a powercut) bird protection: £12k give or take.
Like the Fox batteries as stackable as neighbour has them.
Supplier 2.
14 x Trina Solar 425W, Solis 5G 6.0kW 230V Hybrid Inverter, 2 x Pylontech US5000 4.8kwh batteries, pigeon, G99 - close to £17k
Supplier 3.
10 x 450w solar panel eurona Mepv 45, 1 x 3.6kw growatt inverter, 1 x 6.5kw growatt battery , iboost, bird protection - £11k.
---
I have 2 x older kids at home and potentially getting a EV in next few years so think I do need to get a battery to forward plan.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Supplier 3, where the cheapest is also new but I do know them and they are open to a conversation. Not heard great things ref growatt support.
The most expensive, possibly I can get them to reduce as like £4k in fees for install etc but they have gone for future proofing.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks to Screwdriva, reached out to another supplier to change some brands and go from there on another quote.1
