I too have a SolarEdge system with panels on 3 roof angles, all panels have optomisors. Hope that helpsMy dad has SolarEdge stuff, and panels across 3 directions... he needed an optimiser on each panel.
I have a SolarEdge system as well with panels on 3 roof angles, all panels have Sunpower optimizers.I too have a SolarEdge system with panels on 3 roof angles, all panels have optomisors. Hope that helps
35.07 already with Bulb, feel your pain mate and seriously researching solar as we prep for MY delivery next week.Seeing as my energy supplier is about to raise prices again it might well be. 35.63p per kwh!! It was 17p 2 months ago. Is anyone else's that high?
Beginning to wish I'd had an extra 1kW of solar installed, as you can never have too much.
Hi there, from what I and others have been quoted and placed orders on it would seem quite expensive.Well I've finally had a quote through for solar PV & battery (from EOn) - what do the hive mind think?
11x 390W panels in an East-West configuration (7 on east, 4 on west - south doesn't have a viable roof space) giving 2.73kWp & 1.56kWp respectively, for a total 4.29kWp. These panels are all they quote for, apparently.
Estimated annual output 3082 kWh
Givenergy hybrid inverter & 9.5kWh battery (sustained charge/discharge is approx 3kWh apparently)
Installation inc. scaffolding
Price: £13.2k
There is scope to add an 8th panel on the east, but the scaffolding & install would be more as it would have to bridge our conservatory, and the EOn consultant felt it wouldn't necessarily add enough to make up for the difference in cost. I'm of the opinion that more generation is always better, so am going to ask for the additional costing on that just to see.
For reference, our annual 'leccy use for April '21 - April '22 was 9675kWh due to working from home, M3 charging, and lots of laundry & cooking due to young kids!
Who did you go with? (PM me if you don't want to name them openly). EOn is the only company I've contacted which has even responded so far.I've increased the spec of my order recently to include more panels etc and I'm now up to £16.2k. For comparison purposes, for this I'm getting 25 panels on an east/west split, 5kw inverter, 2 x 9.5kwh batteries, Zappi, Eddi, Harvi, Hub and also a "full house" EPS so we can operate fully off-grid in a power cut.
I also ordered a few months ago just before the real mad rush arrived. That said, I'm still having to wait until late Sept for the install.
I was also quoted by EOn and they were about 15% over compared to the installer I've selected. That price quoted above looks very steep.
PM sent.Who did you go with? (PM me if you don't want to name them openly). EOn is the only company I've contacted which has even responded so far.
The EOn price likely includes "hidden" interest as they offer 0% financing over 3 years on the package, and an element of cost projection as they are indicating installation in early 2023.....
That's chunky price from EOn. I have almost the exact same sized array and battery from them (but only a single array) and I paid £9k in March '21.Who did you go with? (PM me if you don't want to name them openly). EOn is the only company I've contacted which has even responded so far.

Did you get a reply to this by any chance? I am in a similar position but about 30% of my panels are not optimally orientated (some are vertically mounted on a wall) so the system will never hit the headline kWp output.Does anyone on the Tesla energy plan know if/how strictly they enforce the 9 kWp solar array per powerwall requirement? I’m due to get a 9.6 kWp array and 1 powerwall installed, but I want to be on TEP so if it’s a hard requirement I will need to scale back the solar to <= 9 kWp. I’ve emailed octopus to check but currently awaiting a reply.
i understand that the power wall software setup can limit the maximum output to say 8.99 kwDid you get a reply to this by any chance?

Yes, I did:Did you get a reply to this by any chance? I am in a similar position but about 30% of my panels are not optimally orientated (some are vertically mounted on a wall) so the system will never hit the headline kWp output.
I reduced my installation to 8.96kW befpore moving to TEP.Yes, I did:
The 9kW limit is strictly enforced, however it's determined by the declared net capacity (DNC) of the installation as opposed to the total installed capacity.
The DNC is restricted by, most commonly, an inverter so despite the total capacity planned being 9.6kW, it might pay to check what the DNC will be before making any changes.
Our inverter is 8 kW so we are fine as-is. Solar has been installed 3 weeks now, and Powerwall is expected in September.
Well, that was an... intersting... experience, but it's all in and generating.Had to drop the optimisers and the 4 panels at different angles they enabled. It was that or wait 3 months for stock, with the scaffolding still up. Can always retro-fit at a later stage if we want, but for the moment the most valuable panels are the ones that are on your roof and generating.
I had concerns about 2 of the 4 odd panels anyway in terms of wiring them, so I'm not too sore about losing them. Have also dropped the inverter to a slightly more reasonable 5kw model. I still think a 3.6 would be fine, but the company's design tool wouldn't let them go below this due to the installed DC size, and that would take the inverter out of warranty support. And -that- isn't work fighting about.
