Quote Check: £7,850 for 7.36kW Solar + 5.12kWh Battery

Hey everyone, just looking for a quick sanity check on this quote.

Location: Cambridgeshire
Panels: 16 x Astronergy 460W (7.36 kW total). Upgrades offered: LONGi 480W (+£22/panel) or AIKO 495W (+£42/panel).
Inverter: LuxPower 10kW Hybrid (GEN 10K) - Single Phase. (no warranty specified)
Battery: 1 x Fogstar Energy 5.12kWh Stackable (4.1kWh usable). Extra 5kWh blocks are £675 each. (6year warranty)
Expected Generation: 7,154 kWh/year
Total Cost: £7,850. Includes scaffolding (installer says it's higher than usual due to bridging a lower flat roof).
Extras: No bird proofing included. SEG tariff is on me to set up.
Company: Uk Solar

The installer swapped to the LuxPower 10kW because Solis is having stock issues right now.

I haven't asked for changes yet. Does £7.8k look reasonable for this setup? Also, is it worth paying the extra for the AIKO panels, or using that cash to add a second 5.12kWh battery module right away?

Thanks!

UK G98 Application

Hi guys

I’m just finishing off my DIY 4kw solar, 3.68kwh inverter install with a 16kwh battery..

It’ll soon be time to make my G98 application

My question, does anyone know if the forms attached here are all I need to fill in and send to the DNO?

I’ve seen another MUCH MUCH longer set of application forms online with loads of testing result fields to fill in and so I’m a bit confused which to send in.

Naturally I’d rather do the shorter simpler ones (attached), but I’m really trying to avoid looking like I have no idea what I’m doing to the DNO

Any assistance much appreciated

Thanks
