Solar & Battery Quote - thoughts?

Options
I have had the following Quote from what appears to be a reputable local company. Due to the shape of my roof he has quoted for larger Solar panels to maximise output.

7 x AIKO 625kw panels
Sigen 8kwh Battery
Sigen Inverter 4kw

Total 3848 kw

Cost £7460

Payback stated 8 years 7 months

Any thoughts on this set up, cost equipment?

    I'm not too positive on the quote to be honest.
    4.4Kw of panels paired with a 4kw inverter and 8kwh battery isn't too bad a setup.

    I've not personally heard of Aiko panels, but appreciate you will be paying a premium for a very large panel at 625w, however even with the premium I'd still expect to be under £6k total.

    I'd personally advise to shop around a bit more and see if you can get better offers.
