No worries, atleast the thread is alive. Right now I am wondering how close to the center of roof I can go in a semi detached house? Do I have to leave some space at the center. If I do than this will cost me two panels. Also how close to the rest of the roof edges I can go?

I bought a diamond core drill when installing the extractor fan in bathroom. But for this I needed a smaller one,also I needed to buy a vacuum pump. I found a local fgas person willing to supply and install a 5 kw mitsubishi heavy split AC for 1600. So I went for it. But still I think if the installation charges are more reasonable for simpler installs than a lot more people will be able to get heating this winter for cheap.

There is two feet distance between the outer unit and inner. Outer unit on the floor as well as inter unit. So just a hole in wall and the gas connection they have to do. I have seen this type of install many times and it does literally takes two hours.

It's a bit of topic but I have just been quoted 1000 pounds install cost to install a 500 pounds air conditioner. That 1500 total. It's a simple back to back install. Hardly a two hour job. What is going on

Will this mean I won't be able to charge the batteries from mains at all?

I spoke to my dno and they asked me to fill online form .also it says online that Upto 5 kw approvals will be given with out visit. Also they are asking for following docs for application. see the screen capture please. What's are these documents. does location plan means the house plans?

None at all. But I will trim it from top if it did.

I will call them tomorrow.but who to call, my energy supplier that is eon next at the moment or someone else?

Let's try want to justify the 10000 plus quote .I can buy the panels and inverter from ITS FOR 5000. What else I need. How much scafolding will cost for this house. It's a semi detached with extension on side. And how much should I add for cabling,isolaters, mounts etc.

So that's 360 added to cost. Can we apply before installing?

I had this question in my mind too.what if don't want to export. Also does a 5 kw needs dno too?

hi everyone, i am new on this forum and still looking for information on diy solar install i have a survey done of my house by a solar installer and they said that i can have 14 panels installed in two rows max. but the estimate they gave me is almost 100 percent more than what i can buy myself even after paying vat from online stores like ITS. So naturally i got confused because even after getting hardware without vat these companies are quoting prices like that. i am off work now and have lot of free time and diy experience . if i can get some help from experienced folks here than i can take it on with the help of a local electrician. My yearly electric usage is 5000 kwh aprox and i plan to remove gas totally and have air to air heat pump /air conditioner for heating and immersion heating for hot water. also, we are planning to get an ev later.
