[QUOTE="binky, post: 443756, member: 490"] not if you have a Solic 200 you don't, it diverts excess solar energy to the immersion is is definetly one of the best gadgets ever invented. Costs around £200+ vat. Don't buy batteries, they don't pay for themselves. £4.2k seems quite reasonable for an in-roof 3kW system, but I suspect that it would be the cheapest stuff around. I would opt for Solarworld panels (German) very good low light performance and reasonable prices. Inverter wise I would tend to stick to SMA, German and a bit pricey, but very good reliable equipment, or if you want to save a few £, the only Chinese inverter I would recomend is Samil, basically because it is designed in Austrailia. I've fitted quite a few of these and they seem pretty good so far. Fronius and Steca also make good inverters. As a new build in-roof is definetly the way to go forward, it costs a little more, but looks much smarter and some of the extra cost is off-set by savins on slates etc etc. GSE is my preferred in roof mounting system. This is a French system, where in-roof gets higher FiT than on-roof, so the French have developed the best in-roof systems. [/QUOTE]
