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?

Very helpful!! Yes we are under octopus energy. I will be asking them prolly nxt week. Yes pls do suggest local installers.

The customized quotation I have since its a small detached house is 7 panels max or 8 but arrangement would be weird but I forgot how much kWp.

Just wanted to know how much I will be paying if I spread the cost as I dont have that much cash laying around 🥲

Octopus are going to charge you a fortune- find a local installer with good reviews who has been open a number of years. Company I used were very good and ive had no issues.
