what I was intending to point out is payback of solar over battery is much longer if you are buying cheap off peak energy versus peak expensive energy....thats why I wouldn't for for solar in my situation. ahhhh....one of the lucky few .....a lucrative FiT :) Quite right Creaky...sorry...its...

btw...the added advantage of having battery storage only...if you sell your home and move...and the buyer won't fork out for your inverter storage system....it's as easy as taking your washing machine or fridge/freezer with you...lol solar not so easy !!

Not posted for a while, but this topic is of interest. I agree with John and some others. I have a Solis Hybrid 6kW and 4 * pylontech US5000. Perfect for me all year round as on Octopus Go, 8.25p off peak . I use something like 0.3kW max peak daily as the inverter arbitrates the grid potential...

@Mach13 like I said a few 100wh per day is unavoidable as you remove loads ( a kettle turns off etc) and there may be some fluctuations in the grid potential the inverter accounts for periodically. The energy company meter is not a good indicator, look at the CT linked meter or your import...

I have a 6Kw Solis hybrid, export limit set ON and set to zero which is important, generally import and export during peak is about 200Wh per day and from what I can see is unavoidable, if you are on a grid head which is shared with a lot of users I think the grid is noisy from lots of large...

Good job John. Any DNO obstacles ? @dave Have a look at the 5th gen Solis hybrid inverters, you can set export to zero so pv charges batteries with anything thats not self use. You will need an energy dump for over generation.

The Plyontech manual recommends the US5000 ( assuming you have one in the stack) is always the master, with other sizes ( or additional US5000s) as slaves via the linkport. I'm not sure if this is definitely the case if the US5000 is not the newest ?? I have 4* US5000 and a 6Kw Solis hybrid (...

I have bought laptops and tablets for my business from Chuwi direct from China without problem ( except they sell 12v and 5v PSUs with an identical connector) and drops of thousands of Bluetooth modules direct, I have also bought batches of 18650 Li Ion batteries which turned out to be outer...

my thoughts, the shipping on a 100kg plus drop from China to the UK will be substantial. I for one wouldn't go near that offer as it isn't commercially possible so I can't imagine what would arrive. Then try sending it back ! and no tax.?...tell HMRC that when they assess your 10KW ( not even...
