Hi @nburns A couple of things to note. I don’t think we have put JA in our top 5 favourite panels, but they do get a mention in the article. ABB (FIMER) are in our top 5 string inverters. Also, see: > [@FIMER (ABB) UNO inverter review](https://perform.discoursehosting.net/t/fimer-abb-uno-inverter-review/395/2): > > Hi @ijwhiting ABB has had its problems, but appear to be sorting their stuff out. Sungrow is widely seen as the best Chinese inverter in the market, so that could be an option too. Here’s an extract from our [Best Solar Inverter](https://www.cleanenergyreviews.info/blog/best-grid-connect-solar-inverters-sma-fronius-solaredge-abb) article regarding ABB (now FIMER): ABB decided to sell it’s entire solar inverter division to [FIMER](https://www.fimer.com/en/), a well established Italian based inverter manufacturer who took over ABB’s solar division in early 2020. Background: ABB was a premium manufacturer offering a range o… Unfortunately you don’t have a very friendly roof for solar. I’m assuming this company didn’t send someone to your house to get on the roof and measure it up. That’s what will need to happen if you want to be confident that you’ll actually receive the system that you have been quoted for. Otherwise, you’ll probably get the installer to come on the day, and they’ll realise there’s no way they’ll be able to configure the system as “designed”, and need to work around, which rarely makes for a happy outcome. Whilst the price quoted is pretty low, I’d be looking at paying a bit more to have an accredited designer come to the house first and actually design the system. A lot of roofs don’t really need a professional design, they are easy to fit 20 panels on. Unfortunately yours is a bit tricker. If you want 20 panels, you’ll likely need micro inverters, however if you want to pay less up front and go with a string inverter, I’d be surprised if you could get 20 panels. Either way, I’d suggest getting a few more quotes, from companies with top reviews. Hope that helps.
