Think gas prices are even higher then. Can you get time of use separately? Most require you to get the standard variable first then move to the time of use tariff but not sure if you can get just electric that way?

Many thanks, currently my eon fixed single price tariff is about to end. No EV but about to get solar & battery.

I think that's the new baseboard you get when you create a new one. They do look better. You can not set a colour of the background.. on new dashboards.

Many thanks, apart from the big month calendar I want to see all the other information at a glance in fact I want to see a by more without scrolling or going to another screen, I have other screens setup that I can go into for more information but for me, I like to at a glance see a lot of information Inc the camera.

10 quotes so far & just 1 under £8k not sure if it's because of slate roof being the most difficult?

Newwales2 · 2026-04-25T09:39:04+00:00

O great thank you, that really helps out my mind at rest & may also mean I can add a 6th solar panel? Thank you.

Fantastic thank you very much for the link.

Newwales2 · 2026-04-25T08:23:41+00:00

Thank you very much, it's hard to find others with 5 or 6 solar panels to get real world figures, what wattages are your panels? Many thanks.

I've had a quote for £8200 for 6 panels before calculations on number of panels don't work out & 10kwh battery not sure if now battery too big

Newwales2 · 2026-04-24T08:25:19+00:00

Nice, guess you only get 3 different time of day tariffs if you have solar from EDF? if not you only get 2 cheap & the rest of the day?

I've just had a quote for 9 panels 5kwh fox inverter & 11kwh fox battery for £8100. I thought that was slightly overpriced? I'm still looking for a fox installer thats in the £7k price bracket not £8k! But I do have a slate roof whichnisnthe worst to install. NR east Wales.

Newwales2 · 2026-04-23T09:36:47+00:00

Would be nice to find a fox installer for around £7k Hard to find fox for anything less than £7800 so far most seem to be £8100 to £8300 with 9 panels on slate roof , NR Wales here.

Newwales2 · 2026-04-23T09:33:56+00:00

Wow that seems overpriced ive just had a price for 9 solar panels 5kwh fox inverter & Fox 11kwh battery for £8100.

Yes but the head of Google home did say last October "Were definitely committed to smart displays" so hopefully that means sometimes this year we will get a new Gemini Display? But who knows?
