The last system I bought from a solar distributor was £900. That included 1.8kW of panels, a 2kW inverter, all necessary fixings for a roof installation (apart from connecting wires from the panels to the inverter), all required isolation switches, a generation meter and a pack of warning stickers.

Of course, an installer needs paying – and likes to make a reasonable profit….

When I was last looking a few years ago in the UK only specific panels could qualify for the subsidy and had to be installed by specific installers. This effectively doubled the price wrt unrestricted world prices.
I think domestic level batteries will always be borderline economic but the market may get distorted by tax and regulation to push them into use.
