[QUOTE="Jedw, post: 547213, member: 35480"] 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 on load step changes. But I am considering an ASHP ( A2A) and gas aga conversion to my own design electric conversion, Alexa linked, so looking at another 4 pylontech US5000 as opposed to a 5kWp solar install. At 8.25p / kWh or less if I go onto Octopus intelligent, why install solar ( even though, like lots of others, I like the idea of generating...for 8 months of the year...when I probably won't need heating !! and 10kWh battery storage capacity is enough ) The 4 extra plyontechs and 6-7 hours of off peak make perfect financial sense. charging at at night while the home, ASHP and AGA all get up to temp on the off peak grid.
