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)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
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
16 Sharp PV panels facing WSW 4kW
Solarmax 4200S inverter
Non FIT
3 Canadian solar DC coupled 1.75kW facing SSE
Storage
Growatt SPA3000TL BL inverter ac coupled
Growatt GBLI6532 6.5kWh lithium phosphate battery
