I wonder if some of you with knowledge or experience could look at these quotes for me please and let me know your thoughts ?
I am looking at getting solar and getting a bit bogged down with it all. Thanks to MB who sent me the Solar Together, but seems Greater Manchester are still not on the list.
I have been quoted for our UK House by e-on who seem to be the most straight forward. Though the battery prices like all or most of the solar companies seem expensive.
Our UK Roof is South facing 100% and no shade or intrusions. Plenty of room for solar with Octopus saying we could easily get 10kw on both roofs.
It is occupied all day for quite a lot of the year, though we spend quite a lt of weeks away.
We have a traditional gravity / pumped gas boiler. with a hot water tank (plus Electric Immersion heater.)and whole house gas CH radiators.
We have the main study office heated by a Daikin A/C heat pump
Bedrooms along side the radiators all have Daikin Multi-Split A/C with heat
Usual Gas Hob, Electric oven, Washing Machine, Heat Pump Dryer and Dishwasher
Log Cabin has Hitachi Heat pump and log burner
The first Images are the e-on UK Quote

Spanish House Last Images
High Occupancy Rate
Summer 20 weeks using
Pool heater
Pool Pump
4/5 x A/C Units for cooling
Electric Oven
Large Fridge
Freezer
up-to around 150 low energy bulbs that the guests like to leave on 24/7
2 x Washing Machines
Heat Pump Dryer
Dishwasher
ETC
30 weeks of mixed personal use and off season rentals.
Difference being
We turn the Lights off
Still use the Pool heater in shoulder season
Winter we use the A/C for heating
Log Burner Lit on cold nights
Roof is split onto many different levels and aspects. So would have to have East, West and South facing panels with optimisers
There is also lots if talk of getting grants from the EU and reductions in IBI (Council Tax) but would not hold my breath !
