Hi new to the forums and after any advice regards a quote I have had for solar.
It is for an 18 panel system, I was recommended to use micro inverters.
Many thanks for any advice.
It is for an 18 panel system, I was recommended to use micro inverters.

That's insanely overpriced - looks like a quote from Octopus Energy?
For your perspective, 2 of the installers I use to help other forum members offer:
18 X Eurenor 500W Bifacial panels
1 X Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kW) with Gateway 2
£13.5K installed with Bird netting/ G99/ 10 year workmanship warranty included. Superior panels with a 12.5% larger system size, a 35% larger battery capacity with far better specs for £2.5K less = Win!
If your roof suffers from significant shading, Tesla is incompatible with microinverters or optimizers. In that instance, SolarEdge may prove a better option for you.
18 X Eurenor 500W Bifacial panels
18 X SolarEdge optimizers
1 X SolarEdge 10kW inverter (20 year warranty)
1 X SolarEdge 10kW battery
£13.7K installed. Same as above.
In both instances, significant savings. I hope this helps you!
