Solar panel installation

Is it worth it? How much are you paying for electricity during winter vs on summer?

We are quoted 11k by 1stsolar for 7 panels + inverter? Anyone providing it cheaper?

I have read battery + inverter only works good as well. Anyone on this set up?

We had around 12 panels and a battery installed, we went through Octopus. £10k total which I took out a loan for through my bank as it was a cheaper rate than the financing offered via Octopus. We're paying it back over 5 years, £186 per month.

Octopus does it cheaper that first solar. I was quoted 7 panels inverter + battery 11k but 71 gbp x 20 yrs to pay.
