I saw this and thought "typical", go through all this crap and then Bimble has the unit. I assume they will also be a distributor/installer for the purposes of setting up accounts in the UK perhaps?

Re: Balcony solar PV
I think Chris n.posted 800W systems for about 800 Euro ftom Deutsch b&q place? I managed to bring No1's 810W system in at about £590 all in. I had the sundry bits and it's not exactly balcony.
I guess my point is that Bimble are ripping off at that price. Nearly £1,600 with delivery for a 720W system? Nope, too much.
No1's system showing production graph. Right being installed. Left is now ish.

Re: Balcony solar PV
6 panels with 2 of 2 in 1 Y plugs and 2 connections on the Hoymiles. Hmmn. Also not a fan of flexible panels due to their lower yield. I'd like to be but i'm not impressed.
Much rather walk into Aldi or Lidl and collect ftom the middle aisle at pound price of Euro side pricing.

Or a smaller version for €299.99 https://www.obi.at/solaranlagen/absaar- ... /p/3252772 (300w inverter with 150w panel)
There is also a set with flexible panels for €1299.99 so more like the Bimble one https://www.obi.at/solaranlagen/absaar- ... /p/3252780
Living the dream in Austria.
Uk property 3.75kW PV linked to 3kW inverter.

Re: Balcony solar PV
Nice one Chris, that last price makes Bimble look less outrageous. I'm surprised that the flexible carry such a premium, live & learn.chris_n wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 7:48 pmhttps://www.obi.at/solaranlagen/absaar- ... /p/2712933Joeboy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 5:08 pm I think Chris n.posted 800W systems for about 800 Euro ftom Deutsch b&q place?
