DIY solar

Imagine for a minute you decided to do a DIY solarPV installation.
Imagine you've found the panels and the inverter you want, and have a tame builder who's happy to work at height, and a tame electrician who's keen to help.
Where would you go to buy the panel frames/ roof truss anchors/ solar PV DC wiring looms etc?

I have some panel to rail fixings and tile hangers to clear at 50% discount.

Ebay can be good for the odd item too, especially if you want a cheap second inverter.

Just bought our new panels from Bimble, seem to be pretty good, panels ordered last week and are on their way here now. Only slight snag at the moment is finding companies with stocks of mounting hardware. Rail, in particular, seems to often be out of stock at the moment.

Solar sparky had for me. Hit or miss though as the demand is clearing it out fast.

These seem to have a good range.
