Hi all,

In a coupe of weeks I'm due to have solar installed at our house, 8 panels on the house roof and 3 panels on the garage roof.

Whilst in the garage today I've noticed a split in the wood close to the apex of the garage. It's not the side the 3 panels are being installed on but it's prompted me to post this. Any thoughts on next steps ? I've been in the house for 18 years from new.

Thanks in advance

I'm just about to build a large summerhouse (5 x 4) and have had the main structural timbers for a few years.

I've just been looking at the cladding prices and the prices for plasterboard and I'm shocked how much things are today.

Luckily I purchased nearly all the timber and structural boards for the summerhouse in late 2019. I think the prices have trebled since then.

Has anyone else been put off from doing a project due the the current high prices for materials and just not bothered with the project?

I’ve just received a quote from Octopus (first quote)

11 panels, 10kWh Fox battery for £11,083 - seems a bit high to me?

I’ve been looking at the forum and can see people say it isn’t the best battery?

Has anyone had an installation in Liverpool?
