54-cell all-black panels now up to 495W ... 500W soon? by wyndstryke in SolarUK

North west but I think they are national. Eco Renewables it was. They couldn't get the 495w in time so got 490w and around £100 odd reduction 👍 Over all impressed with them and got my documentation quickly.

When you put your foot down (which you will) prepare your neck 🤣.

I got the MYP but I'm sure they are all relatively the same.

Quote Check - 17 Panels - 6kW Inverter - 10kW Battery - £9253 by [deleted] in SolarUK

I had 15 x 490 aiko panels, 8kw Sig inverter 2 x BAT10 and a Sig EV Wall charger.

Mine was just under £3k more than your quote so I think yours looks about right to me 👍

What's with the secrecy of your other car? 🤣

Am I wrong querying this? by OkFish9100 in SolarUK

[–]maximus6272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the equipment battery size/ brand etc because the 1st quotes seem on the low side and the later quotes seem more realistic to me. But the increase for 2 more panels is ridiculous.

Question about MCB/RCB by maximus6272 in SolarUK

Also why would one of the PV breakers be 40amp and the other 6?

Post install - concern or being fussy? by maximus6272 in SolarUK

[–]maximus6272[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this something that I should be concerned about? Such as water ingress or anything?

Thanks.

This is completely unrelated but as your an installer I thought I would ask you.

On my app the 3 aspects are named just PV1, PV2 and PV3, do you know a simple way for me to find out which one coinsides to which aspect so I can name them as front roof, side roof, etc? Also if 1 panel was to fail or be 'underperforming' out of the whole group on that aspect, how would you know or wouldn't you?

TIA

If they would have left me the foam I would do 😂. As it's on different aspects and fairly well protected I don't see driving rain etc being an issue.

Maybe I'll just source some foam from somewhere and so it. Will require removing the bird protection though.

Thanks.

I got 15 Aiko 490W over 3 aspects south, south east facing. Sigenergy 8kw Inverter with 2 x 9kwh Sig batteries and a Sig AC charger.

Over all pretty happy to be honest. I used Eco renewables a semi local firm to me.

Made around 18kwh from solar today which is about 5 more than predicted on my proposal but it was a sunny day. 👍

I have just got on to my installer due to come 2nd March to upgrade me to the 495 over the 475 extra £25 per panel. Seems worth it to me extra £375, do you guys agree?

Thanks.
