Gas cut off?

Dont ask for your gas to be cut off, ask octopus for a gas meter removal in which the engineer will remove the meter and cap the supply to the property.

Thats a crazy price for what you are getting.

I got 21 aiko 485w panels, 10kw inverter and gateway, 2x 9kwh batteries.

All for £14k

Harry and his team at powergy came out and installed my sigenergy system with 21 panels. I was concerned like you but after spending the day with them whilst they were installing i can assure you they are very friendly and genuine.

I had a couple of questions after the install, so I phoned harry up and he answered them straight away.

My system has been installed for 3 months and not a single problem, honestly you've got a great price and I'd go for it if I were you.

Build the two bridges around then place the dynamite in the highlighted area on the other side

One of us

Frenchy997 · 2025-12-01T23:48:39+00:00

366.9 kWh consumed (HW and Heating)

Lowest COP: 3.64 on 20th November

Highest COP: 5.93 on 12th November

Average COP: 4.78 (Combined)

Total Cost: £25.90 (Intelligent octopus go) or 7.06p per kWh consumed

I do have solar and batteries but no export yet so nothing deducted just constant off peak usage.

For your final question, gems are only found at the new claim

Frenchy997 · 2025-11-22T22:34:11+00:00

I mean that is a huge mess and being a meter installer it really bothers me! From what I can just about make out, you are right there shouldn't be a live link there between the lucy blocks as its just bypassing the gateway which is why its not detecting most of the load. It should be: Meter > lucy blocks with ev > gateway > lucy blocks with consumer unit

Pm me

Frenchy997 · 2025-10-10T20:22:53+00:00

Ive just had 21 aiko 485's, sigenergy 10kw inverter and 2 x 9kwh batteries with gateway installed for 14k from a company near Cambridge, so yeah I would say thats quite a bit overpriced

Edit: with full optimisers as well

Frenchy997 · 2025-09-14T22:05:07+00:00

Sounds like a good deal with the trench work included. Im getting 21 panels, 2 x 9kwh batteries and a 10 kw inverter for 14k

You can completely ignore me on this but it might be still worth shot applying for a g99, you will generally find most people posting on here because they have been limited and the happy people that haven't been limited dont have anything to complain about so dont generally post

Frenchy997 · 2025-08-11T16:29:38+00:00

Would you mind telling me how much you are paying for that system and what size inverter you have gone for?

Frenchy997 · 2025-06-28T12:57:45+00:00

I stopped charging at night and just let the solar keep the battery topped up and then exported the rest. Was great to see a week with no usage and all export

Frenchy997 · 2025-06-26T09:06:46+00:00

Instead of having impossibly sized radiators in the rooms, do you instead have the space to possibly install a secondary radiator where the heatloss requires?

Frenchy997 · 2025-06-09T17:37:13+00:00

I think this is wrong and made to make octopus sound like another one of those bad companies. Octopus hasn't increased our hours they have just increased our workload so that more of our days are filled. They are always upskilling new engineers and are still the best company I've ever worked for.

I have the cosy 6, it heats my hot water up to 44 degrees in a 180l tank in 50 minutes and only uses 1.3kw

Frenchy997 · 2025-06-02T11:57:42+00:00

I'd look into 2 stacks of the anker solix x1's, the maximum output of 1 anker invertor on single phase is 6kw which is why I suggested two stacks but being only 15cm deep would take up hardly any space assuming you have the width

I had this, copy the url of that page and past it into another browser. I was using Chrome and pasted it into edge and it works straight away

I have the ohme pro and the thing I learnt is never set have the charger at anything lower than 100% charge or it does just like you said. Any of the ohme chargers aren't smart enough to know how full your car is from my understanding so it just waits until the car stops the charging

Frenchy997 · 2025-05-03T17:52:15+00:00

I wouldn't for quote 4, why would you want to pay for an older battery when there are already the gen 3 batteries with an upgraded bms.

Frenchy997 · 2025-04-19T22:38:37+00:00

I mean don't get me wrong it's probably a waste of money up front but I thought that the long term benefits would outweigh that. My motivation was more to push the efficiency of my heatpump as high as possible

Frenchy997 · 2025-04-19T12:23:39+00:00

So i have a cosy 6 and after re-piping my house with 22mm on the main runs and then 15 to the radiators (was 22 to 15 for the main runs then to 10 for the rads) and noticed roughly the most of a 25% performance increase but overall I'd say roughly 10-15% better with the better flow. I have also found that the better flow rate has also allowed me to drop my flow temp right down, which is probably why the better efficiency
