    I'm on 8 weeksd now when they said up to 6 weeks.  Someone I know got them in 2 days.

    I think that might have been me… my installer was very efficient with the paperwork, and also left all the manuals and a laminated set of instructions next to the equipment about how to turn it off. 

    I also should have done more research, as I probably should have insisted on optimisers (panels on the south facing garage roof get shading from the house roof and a tree now the sun is getting lower), and done a few other things differently. However, I’d got to the point of just wanting it done after being messed around by other companies. I am currently eyeing up the east and west-facing bits of the main roof. East doesn’t ever get a huge amount, but west does. In summer even the north face of the garage roof gets afternoon and evening sun.
    Yes it was you & also reading what you said made me realise just how little I knew & gave me a bit of direction.  I will get there eventually with the help of all the nice people on here.
