Any down sides to the above panels?
Been quoted them and a few people have them but after an opinion from people who are a bit more inquisitive.

Either with solaredge/Powerwall or AIO or solis/AIO.

Thanks

I primarily went for the Jinko Tiger neo 420 panels as their dimensions are a little different to other panels. This meant that I was able to fit more panels on the restricted roof. I have 18 panels giving 7.56kW, I would have only managed 14 panels of Trina etc. Online reviews seemed positive as well.

They were installed in Feb 23 and have performed as expected, so I have seen no down sides to them.

I have a Sofar 7kW Inverter with 3 strings (one with Optimiers as that string is partly shaded). A, GE AC3.0 inverter and 2 x 9.5kW GE batteries + Eddi and Zappi

I have been on Octopus Flux for the summer but am about to switch back to Intelligent Octopus or Octopus Go for the winter. So far since Feb 23 my export £s have excedded my total Gas + Electricity import £s by about £250 so I am very pleased.

Hope that helps

kram we have 24 on two strings of 12. Performed very well and look decent too (black). We were supposed to get JA Solar but the installer turned up with Jinko - higher rating, better spec, longer warranties, so all good.

Thanks Both.

16 x 430 as a single string on solaredge is what we have been offered. Rather have a sunny boy, but as Powerwall is a serious option it limits your choice if you want to be able to more finely adjust PV generation rather than just on/off.

AIO doesn’t seem promising after reading some of the posts here, I sadly have to say, but keeping eyes peeled.

Plus point, at todays prices a PW2 + 6.8kWp panels cost a lot less than 16x Trina and a gen 2/3 + 9.5 or an AIO.

Seeing will be believing, but it turns out all three of the quotes we got were a lot cheaper than the old provider.
