I keep hearing about Bimble
Depending on the context this seems worth a look |

If you're going to be sarky, you could at least be accurately sarky: they start at 99p. Possibly even less if you're lucky at an auction.  |

Their panels seem to start at 37p/W, but their online system designer doesn't seem to work. |

I think they have some starter kits, but the only time I tried to take a serious look, their site didn't appear to be working...could have been my shit computer, but I've not had time to go back since |

The trouble with ebay is that it can be hard to tell if a thing is cheap because it is a bargain or because it is crap...
And this Bimble place seems generally cheaper than most of what I saw on ebay, but I have not yet looked hard. |

My ground mounted system cost 8k. That includes some trenching, a hundred yards of armoured cable and a new consumer unit though. |
