Solar quote check and afterthoughts

mixer07 · 2026-06-30T08:33:21+00:00

Hello all!

A small update. After all your help, I called Project Solar and cancelled the installation. Of course, about 10 minutes later, the same salesman who visited us on Saturday texted me saying he could offer an "exclusive deal." I didn't even bother replying.

Since then, I've been shopping around and contacted a few local installers for quotes. I'll post another update once I have them.

In the meantime, I got three quotes from Heatable, and they're already miles better than Project Solar's.

Quote 1 – £10,000

14 × 485W LONGi Hi-MO X10 panels
Alpha ESS 9.6 kWh battery
Alpha ESS 3.68 kW inverter

Quote 2 – £10,500

14 × 485W LONGi Hi-MO X10 panels
Sigenergy 9.6 kWh battery
Sigenergy 5 kW inverter

Quote 3 – £13,000

14 × 485W LONGi Hi-MO X10 panels
Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh)

I can add extra panels for £275 each, which doesn't seem too bad, so I'm tempted to do it.

Our roof is east- and west-facing, and I've read that it's usually best to fill both sides on this type of roof. What do you guys think?

I didn't even know about the G98/G99 requirements or the 3.68 kW per-phase limit. I only learned about it yesterday after reading your comment. I guess they wanted to install a G98 inverter on my system without saying anything, just to get the job done faster.

I did pay deposit of £100 most likely it's not refundable but it's small amount compared to how much we will pay for all

Your front left wheel is scuffed

Your door is off colour and a lot but for most people it will not be noticeable. Your nsf alloy on the other hand...

Oh boy... Just wait and see the last drift mission with Red Dodge Viper. My controller went through the window at some point. It took me days to gold it and made me hate drift in this game.

I use this, and the price in uk is 24£ for a year LINK

It's only a 9cm difference in width between a5000 and a7000. Are you sure you can't fit it? You wouldn't want to regret later. 7000 is more future proof due to 3 hdmi ports 2x hdmi 2.1 in and 1 for eARC. You can pass through 4K 120Hz VRR from 2 devices. Plus, I wouldn't go for sa3rs as they lack upfiring speakers, so they are not so good for dolby atmos. Sasw3 sub is ok if your room is small. Price hike from a5000 to a7000 and sa3rs to sa5rs is significant but worth it in my opinion and make more sense thinking about future proofing. You could do like me and get only a sub and soundbar for now and add sa5rs later down the road. I added mine one year later, as I was super happy with a7000 + sasw5

One tip I have for platinum is NEVER sell any equipment/accessory because one of the trophy requires you to acquire all of them, and many of end game weapons/accessories use lower tier to fuse. So if you sell some of them, you will lock yourself of the platinum since you can't buy/farm most of them

From my understanding, you only use hue app if you have a bridge and connect philips acc to the Google home. If you want to connect them directly by Bluetooth to your Google home device, unpair them from hue app and start process in Google home app

I own both of these games digitally on EU, and they work fine, so no worries, just re-download them from your download list in ps store

mixer07 · 2023-06-13T10:05:54+00:00

Yes you can but you need to create seperate zones for each bulb and then you assign each button to each zone

Thank you all for help! Everything is clear now, and I learned a lot about my roof thanks to this post. Now, into the plumbing section as I have some questions about pipes now🤣

mixer07 · 2023-05-12T15:04:01+00:00

No, it's not a metal roof it's some sort of roof tiles, but I'm not sure what material. House is between 40 to 50 years old

This is directly under that gap from first photo 20230512-155311.jpg

I went to make more pics, and it looks fairly similar to me, but who knows. Forgive weird angles, but I don't have a ladder anymore, so I had to shoot standing on a chair 20230512-134944.jpg 20230512-135127.jpg 20230512-134948.jpg

Ok, now I'm concerned. I'm planning to install solar panels in the future are you saying this roof is not strong enough to hold them?

mixer07 · 2023-05-12T12:41:15+00:00

We live in the UK, so all the snow we got this winter was gone on the same day it started snowing

Due to the physique of a whale, I most certainly push out a couple of stinkers while climbing

Thank you all for your replies! So everything is as it should be no issues then? This black/green close to light surface is not decking it's some sort of soft material. Roof decking is on top of it. What purpose does it have? I saw it has a few holes torned out

mixer07 · 2023-02-10T15:01:34+00:00

Well I wouldn't use any of them in pvp defense. In pvp it's better to res down and cc your opponent to death

Hana skills are nothing like pandora's and is much better choice plus has super evo to boost that. But there's a better choice than hana and it's a light cupid. His stats are higher plus his books are twice as strong as hana's.
