Assuming they are not two names of the same company then that is price fixing and your local trading standards should be notified. Even if company A would have sub contracted the actual work out to company B, or if they are both wholey owned by a common party, it is still illegal. Lots of smaller and specialist companies engage in this sort of behaviour to keep prices higher and demand lower, and trading standards are always interested to know about them.One firm visited and quoted but I was not impressed and another firm arranged to visit but then tel. on the morning to say that they had heard that I had already been quoted by .... and they would not be interested in quoting as they worked together ?!? - almost price fixing ish!
Don't do it - domestic PV is nothing more than a novelty in this country.I want to have a PV system installed on my house
Ha - the first of those other topics contains posts which may give you a clue as to why that is....but am having difficulty finding a sensibly priced supplier/fitter.
The prices are silly, I could buy a wonderful new car for the cost of a 4kw system thx

I'm sure you could, because right now, a 200w panel retails for around £1k. For a 4kW system, that's £20k in panels, before you even buy the inverter and install the system. I advise you do spend the money on the car, as it will probably still be a better investment even after depreciation.
Does their name begin with 'D'?I'm not clued up on the figures, Im just an installer for a large company!

The 200w panels are £400 each
