I'm going relatively large on the install to maximise the output in winter when we need it most. Planning to move to an EV in coming months which I will charge on night rate during week and from the solar at the weekends.
Based on the advice on this thread I won't be considering a hot water diverter or battery. I believe we'll have a FIT sooner than later so will hopefully be making a few Euros in the summers.
I have a number of quotes and would appreciate your thoughts:
Quote1: 5kW, 14x360W Longi + Solis 5k inverter: 7377 Eur incl VAT
Quote2: 6kW, 370W Trinasolar + Solax inverter: 8430 incl VAT
Quote3: 4.2kW, 14x320W Amerisolar + Trannergy inverter: 7000 incl VAT
I will be asking all to add in panels to bring up to 6kW.

Thanks in advance

Just an update to this post.
I went back to these suppliers and another suggested through PM. I ended up with a 25% reduction on a per kW basis.
I'm going ahead with a 6kW system for 6700 EUR (no grant applicable). Installer from NI. At about 1100 EUR/kW installed I think it's a reasonable price.
The moral is: get plenty of quotes and don't be shy to go back to them for their best price.
Thanks for the feedback and PMs.
