I got a quote from for 12 panel 4.7 kwp system plus 4.8 kwp battery pack €13,353 - €3000 grant = €10353 or for the same 12 panels with a 7.2 kwp battery pack €14,998-€3000 grant = €11990. A requirement is that after the installation the BER rating must reach C3 minimum or my BER must be at least a D before installation. When I contacted a local assessor he quoted me €600 for doing a BER which seems exhorbitant. I also got a call from Active 8 who quoted me €19,502 originally less subsidy awarded for advertising €2352 less €3000 grant . Total €14,250. On his written quote he does not seem to have written what the quote included? Is the first quote reasonable.?I have lots of roof space. Is planning permission needed for more than 12 panels?
Planning permission shouldn't be needed for 12 panels, but it's always worth checking with your local authorities just to be safe. As for the BER rating, I totally get why you'd want to make sure it's up to par. It's important to have a good rating so you can save money on bills and contribute to a more sustainable future. That being said, €600 seems like a lot for an assessment. I also checked out the link yenex.com, and it looks like they have some options for solar panels and other renewable energy solutions. It's awesome to see more and more companies getting involved in creating a greener future.
