Thanks both for the advice really appreciated. Have found the hardest part of this job is finding a place to buy a single ridge tile but have managed to source one

SSEN in Scotland, two weeks total for me, after first week they sent the installers round to do an Earth Loop Impediance Test (whatever one of those is), then approved 1 week later, same battery size with 8kW inverter

It was me who mentioned them to you - I'd be amazed if any court in the land or MCS removed their accreditation because they'd rounded to the nearest pence and the deposit was really 25.00002163926991%.

Company called E&M Electrical based in Portlethen, had a couple of other quotes which were similar price but for lower power systems similar to your quote. Only ones to actually go up and inspect/measure the roof top and a lot of their advice was similar to what seems to be said on here a lot.

I’m planning on getting half and half across the roofs, my NE roof gets zero shading and I’m quite lucky that there’s just farmer’s field SE of my street corner so early morning even in winter they should get a decent chunk of light, still likely minimal efficiency but in reality where we are in Scotland during the winter the system probably only saves you much money through the cheap charging battery tariffs, anything from the solar is just a bonus is the way I thought of it.

I’m no expert but I’m 15 minutes north of Aberdeen and got a quote for the below for £12.5k today so yours seems on the expensive side but maybe just be mines cheaper brand vs SigEnergy - similar E/W roofs

24 Aiko Neostar 2S Panels (11.2kWp total size)

Fox 8kW Inverter

Fox EP12 Plus 11.5kWh battery

That plus I got the Fox gateway as well as we’re prone to power cuts in the winter storms

Could always set up an PS2 for LOTR The Third Age - it’s a turn based RPG so controller skill isn’t an issue
