Looking for advice or company supplier recommendations.

Looking at a 4kv setup to cover the items that I'm likely to use.

But its all a bit of a new minefield for me, joy 🙂 Getting a bit concerned about ending up with SSO (Solar Shaped Object) 😉

Any thoughts or recommendations from those have done it or planning to.

Fancy a chat ? to help me or others who might be interested.

Some links, to the suppliers who I have come across so far.

PS The solar panels would be installed on the ground, I have the space.

I had a 4kw (14 panels) system fitted at the end of 2018, solaredge inverter with optimisers (some shading in winter from a neighbours tree). System works well and you soon learn how to modify your use to suit.
Things I wish I'd done differently, fitted twice as many panels as I have the roof space for it, spoke to my dno to lift the 3.7kw cap on grid connection.
Setup was on target to pay for itself in 12-13 years, that's improved with the rise in electricity prices, sadly.

When the inverter fails I'll be looking at the newer inverters and solaredge 10kw battery and possibly another bank of panels.
