Oof. 10K for a 3kw system is a lot.

Quite apart from the eye-watering price, I have not been convinced from the details on their website. Personally, I do not find that the aesthetics of a conventional rooftop PV system is that bad. Far worse were the "shaggy Yagi" antennae attached to each chimney breast in yesteryear.

Looks a lot like the Sky Satellite dishes we were all so keen to get rid of

Yeah, but it folds itself away at night and in winds

The dark colour makes it a bit of an eyesore, I agree, a bit reminiscent of the huge old satellite dishes we used to have. I prefer the look of the conventional PV system of panels, on the roof too. Much neater and out of the way.
