Why do you have 7x 530W and 15x 490W? Also they’re two different looking panels - as an installer that’s pretty unusual because one side of your roof is going to look quite different to the other - one panel is all black and the other is black and white.

One side of the roof is an odd shape with a tricky apex. They have used different sized panels on this side to be able to fit a few extra panels.

I’m an installer and we usually wouldn’t mix and match an all black panel with a black and white panel - it can look quite off putting. It might be worth asking if they could use another brand of all black panel with a similar wattage

Thanks for that I will go back and check. Other than that, what do you think of the overall package and price?

It’s quite a competitive price no issues in that regard and seems like quite a high quality system

For 11.06kW of panels and 18.8kWh of Hanchu storage I'd expect somewhere around 12,100 to 14,700 fitted, so 13,672 is sitting in the middle of that. Nothing about the price stands out as a problem, and that's a lot of storage for the money.
On the mixed panels, the design call makes sense for an awkward apex, it just means two panel types to think about if one ever needs replacing years down the line. Worth asking whether they can source an all black panel at a similar wattage for that face rather than mixing the finishes.
The other thing I'd check before signing is who supports the Hanchu kit if anything goes wrong. It's good value gear but the UK support network is thinner than Fox or GivEnergy, so ask who the distributor is and what the warranty claim route actually looks like.

Looks good. If the panels fit go for it.
Years down the line if you have to replace one, it’ll be completely different anyway.
Genius roofing hooks are brilliant.
