Where to start with solar for Home (Essex based, 2000kwh per year)
Hi,
I’m looking for some advice. I love the idea of solar. I’ve just moved to maybe my forever home (at least 10 years I’d imagine). So now feels like a good time to get solar. I wfh and wife does couple days a week. We plan to have kids soon so energy use is roughly 2000kwh a year, I’ve done 1,000 since I moved in Jan so doubled it but presume this will go up. Don’t have an EV yet but would like one in the next couple years.
I’m getting lots of insta ads with prices from £6k which sounds great. I was expecting closer to 10 but would like good quality - from what I’ve seen aiko is the make to go for.
The largest side of my roof pictured is south facing and back of the house is west. Slightly annoying shape rough with the eaves so may be limited to amount of panels.
Would love some opinions on where to start. Happy to get a few quotes but don’t want to spend weeks dealing with every company out there to find the best price.
I think about value quite a bit and would like to get a good return on investment.
Based in Brentwood, Essex.
