First hurdle is to find one that actually responds to calls etc. It took me ages sending multiple requests with only one responding. They got the job and fortunately I'm generally pleased with the work. Others just didn't call back! One other on here that I know of had the same installer.
Retrofitted 11.2kw Mitsubishi Ecodan to new radiators commissioned November 2021.
14 x 500w Monocrystalline solar panels.
2 ESS Smile G3 10.1 batteries.
ESS Smile G3 5kw inverter.
