Poorly Designed / Installed Solar Pv Systems Cost Customers "Long Term":

System A:
Generated £1250 in FITS in 456 days (£2.74 per day average).

System B:
Generated £1250 Fits in 335 days (£3.73 per day average).

- System B generates 99p more per day in FITS, than System A, £361.75 less per year.
- System B will make £9043.75 more than system A over 25 years!
- Good solar designers generate higher FIT payments for their clients long term!

surely there's a lot of other factors that could cause that difference.

Without more info there's no evidence to support your claim

Any updates Steve?

Been a few lol. You'll have to have a look at my other post ' DC isolators, lockable? '. Have just spoken to Worcester, and he's dropping by on Thursday. Hopefully it might benefit him too as the company I work for is getting quotes on a 100kw install.

You should have mentioned that before, it is amazing how helpful companies could be if the carrot is a 100kwp system.:19:

 

[Worcester]

Yep i didn't know about the 100kW until AFTER I'd spoken and offered to pop round

We are going to be in his area doing a number of surveys, so as Steve had clearly learnt a lot and is trying to do the right thing, I offered no obligation to pop over

I didn't mention it in my posts as it is not a guaranteed job. The company is getting quotes and Gordon offered to help me, so if I can help him too then that'll be great.

Righty, have narrowed it down to a choice of 2 panels. HT-SAAE 240w poly or Linuo 250w mono. The mono's will cost 38% more, but I'll get a better output. Am looking at 24 panels in total. Any ideas?

 

[SolarCity]

If the Linuo 250w panels are anything like the 235w polys then I'd imagine they're going to be good 'uns.

However, who tells you that the monos will produce a better output?

 

[Steve_rutland]

Not so much better, bad wording on my part, just more. The HT-SAAE are 240w and the Linuo are 250w.

 

[SolarCity]

Well 30% is a lot but Linuo panels are the mutt's nuts.

 

[Steve_rutland]

Yes, but at this stage, I've taken the forums advice, and gone for decent panels. Am down to 24 from 28 of them due to spacing issues, so the cost is nearly the same.

There's always a fly in the ointment! Just been offered ZNShine 250w monos at a price that saves me over £900! Specs on the net don't look bad. Do you guys have any feedback on them.
The panels are ZXM6-60-250/M

How much have you been offered the ZXM6-60-250/M for per panel excluding VAT?
What is the delivery cost?

 

[Steve_rutland]

PM'd. Delivery is free as i can collect ( local )

Is the supplier reputable? Don't want stuff off back of lorry. None of these, I hope:
