I have been looking at getting solar panels installed on my house recently and have gone as far as getting proposals from about 5 companies now. I think overall I'm leaning for something just over 5 kW to maximize the government grants, but could go up to a 7.5-8.0 kW system to really ensure microgeneration (I don't have the best roof layout to really maximize this though). I know I could optimize with the solar club etc. but that may only make sense if I put on the larger system.

Does anybody have any experience with having solar panels installed? Any recommendations or cautionary tales?

Thanks
