Looks very good.

Which panels have you used? (sorry if you have given this in another thread)

How much space is there above and below the dormer?, I ask as I have a similar situation with a south facing roof that has a large dormer in it limiting my options (and no garage to use).

Looking good. Smiley Don't forget to register on the BDPV database (http://www.bdpv.fr/index_en.php) so that we can compare performance.

All SMA inverters have galvanic isolation as far as I am aware.
