Solar & storage system - £23,200

[BGARK]

Hello, we have been quoted - £23,200 for a solar system.

14.2 kW of cells

19.2 kW of battery storage

All controllers and ancillaries.

This might be a good or bad price, I have no idea, is there anyone that would cast their eyes over the quote for a large beer?

Thanks.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Don't bother with Batteries, you'll never even come close to paying them off. If you must spend money, go for an oversized hot water tank & find a solar diverter to dump the unused summer power into it. Still not a bullet proof payback!

We were thinking of both, the iboost control system to heat the hot water cylinders.

Batteries are useful when also combined with charging electric vehicles or out of hours power needs. But I agree it's a compromise with the cost.

Slightly off-topic, but before we go ahead I want to accurately measure power consumption live and over time.

So far this is the only gadget I have come across that will do that accurately: https://sense.com/product

If there are any other devices like this it would be good to know?


Edit to add... they don't sell this in Europe.
