    And me for my 2kWp WNW system. Loft now heats up with outside ambient temps, but not with sunshine on slates temps as the roof now has specialised solar shielding ...... PV panels. ;)
    Mart. Cardiff. 5.58 kWp PV systems (3.58 ESE & 2.0 WNW). Two A2A units for cleaner heating.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    I did ask to be quoted for solaredge but thats not what the quote points to, I have asked for clarification... or am i missing something

    EDIT: quote changed to solaredge, same price etc

    SolarEdge, Iboost and 315Wp panels, looks like a good deal, I think.

    A £2k saving on the earlier price after allowing for a 180Wp increase.

    If you can get Solar Edge for the same price then I would say that the items you have listed are over priced.
    Makes you wonder how much profit these companies "want" to make doesn't it when they can just upgrade to solaredge(to include optimisers) for the same price.
    I'd personally try and squeeze em down to £5k(or less) as there's probably some wiggle room left in the price....no harm in trying....:D

    There can be plenty of harm in trying. (Something I learnt from many years of negotiating and sales training). Negotiating too hard can lead to poor customer service. If a supplier thinks they are not getting a great deal, they'll save their hard work for the customers that are providing a better margin. And with something as complicated as PV I'd want my installer very much on my side through the process.
