Incase anyone wondered about the ethics (or lack thereof) in their Solar Panels, this study by Sheffield Hallam University has proved genuinely eye opening for me. A must read for the Ethically conscious among us. 
-  10 x 400w LG Bifacial + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial + 2 570W SHARP Bifacial + 5kW SolarEdge Inverter + SolarEdge Optimizers. SE London.

-  Triple aspect. (33% ENE.33% SSE. 34% WSW)
-  Viessmann 200-W on Advanced Weather Comp. (The most efficient gas boiler sold)

Feel free to DM me for help with any form of energy saving! Happy to help!
