Surprise at the difference in Solar Panel Quotes Solar panel quotes for a Solar Panel Installation Tewkesbury quote can vary more than people expect. Often there can be several thousand pounds difference between a quote for a modest job and a more complex job.
Roof Type and Pitch
As mentioned earlier, slate roofs are covered with very fragile tiles which can be damaged very easily during the installation of the mounting rails. This increases the cost of the installation. In addition, very steep roofs are much more difficult to work on as the installers have to work at very awkward angles in order to complete the installation safely and correctly.
System Size and Inverter Type
A typical size for solar panels to be installed on a home in Tewkesbury is a 3 kW to 4 kW system. A system of this size typically consists of between 9 and 12 solar panels, with a standard string inverter. However, a system of 4 kW or more will require a hybrid inverter, which is generally more expensive than a string inverter.
