I've not used those panels so can't comment on their quality. They look decent enough though. Nothing wrong with the inverter either.

The price seems good too.

To be totally honest with you, your focus should be about 10% on the equipment and 90% on the installation company. Check that their installs are up to scratch. Go and visit a few of them.

There are a lot of firms which are frankly awful. You do not want to get into a situation where you have one of those firms installing for you - regardless of price or materials used.

I always recommend people get quotes from long term members of this forum that would serve your area - it's worth noting that you are asking other installation companies / solar professionals to provide free advice that assists their competition. That said it looks like a decent system you have been quoted at a reasonable price, but it is worth noting the post above! In fact - SolarCity why don't you start a section in the forum where customers can request quotes from members?

I have asked for something similar before but didn't get anywhere. I'll ask again and see what we can come up with.

@SolarCity - the sister UKPlumbers forum has a 'I'm looking for a Plumber or Gas Engineer' section, ti which the public post their wants, so the precedent, is set, -- I'm sure they can create a similar sub-forum in this one

Most of the folks I go to see that have been doing research always always seem to research the panels and inverters and sometimes the roof mounting system.....very very rarely have they done any research on installation companies.

Strange that. If you are building an extension you research the builder not the bricks.

Why do prospective pv customers get so involved with the minute details of panels....
