My quote for 10kW of PureDrive + Solis DC hybrid inverter + 8.5 kW of roof-mounted PV (all installed) was £11k a few months ago. I reapplied to DNO for 12 kW of PV following 3-phase connection and am awaiting approval.

12kWp of solar doesn’t need “approval” if you’re on 3-phase!
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
6x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (14.4kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

Which makes me think their nominated installer was angling for a big profit.

How did the quote break down the components (to establish the then cost of a puredrive 10kWh battery)?
Morso S11
FIT
4kW panels facing WSW
Solarmax 4200S

Non FIT
disparate string
1.75kW facing SSE
0.85kW facing NE

2.6kW facing WSW

Sunsynk 3.6kW inverter

Storage
10.4kWh GLS lithium phosphate battery
