Plug in solar on out building

Plug in solar on out building

Just wondering if my thought is worth doing or if it won't be cost effective. So I have a log cabin out building with a consumer unit in it. This then goes to the consumer unit inside my house. My idea was to mount two panels to the roof and plug the inverter into a socket in the log cabin. Would this feed into the house via both consumer units? Or would it just power whats in the log cabin? Sorry I'm very new to all this. Looking at my consumer units they appear to be type A. I've attached a picture of the house consumer unit. If it involves changing the consumer units I'm not sure it's worth it.

Our annual consumption is about 4100kwh. We have an EV that gets charged maybe once a week. One of us work from home full time. Is there much difference here in terms of equipment? My instincts say it's worth the extra for the 2nd quote. Both included scaffolding and bird protection.
