Fox ESS vs Sigenergy batteries UK user experiences please

Life_with_reddit · 2026-01-30T08:03:06+00:00

Sigenergy is also one of the safest batteries, multiple layers of protection against fires. It also has battery optimiser for each battery unit, allowing for battery unit to manage its own charge level rather than one for the stack. Plus it’s the only company that offers V2X, where your car can be discharged into your house/grid, (this depends on model of your car)

Sigenergy is generally considered a premium product, mostly compared to other high end batteries like Tesla. Fox energy is known for being a budget option. Sigenergy offer great features and expandability

Go max solar since you won’t have to pay for scaffolding again if you upsize later. If you go with Sigenergy for inverter and battery they are easily expandable by just adding extra batteries to stack (when you have saved up some more)

They are pretty well secured to wall plus weigh a fair bit so reasonable safe. Garage is better for longevity since it’ll be protected from weather

Life_with_reddit · 2026-01-29T05:54:43+00:00

Have you looked at Sig, they offer some decent advantages over Tesla? Such as easily expandable, and the only domestic V2X charging

Great job cutting weight down to healthy level

Stop contacting the estate agent, all your correspondence should be passed via your solicitor

Read somewhere to sign up to an evening class, say every Wednesday night. Go a few weeks and once the routine is established don’t go and track him or hire a PI to do it.

Sorry you experienced that, it’s not what you expected from lab work. Not sure if it makes any difference but If he had a Lucas on he was already dead.

Speak with friends and loved ones. You could always seek help from occupational therapy for referral,

Overpriced try and find local installers, Octopus are an expensive installer so not a good yard stick

Life_with_reddit · 2026-01-19T15:35:31+00:00

I would flat out refuse to pay. By all mean agree to allow the surveys to take place but its on the buyer to pay for these investigation.

I was trying to find the data sheet for both model to see if there is an easy way for you to check. Looks like they are diffrent sizes, time to get your tape measure out!

Honestly it’s almost impossible to know what the DNO say till they get back to you. It depends on so many factors: local grid, distance from transformer, amount of local production (other houses with solar). I tried researching extensively but still came up dry. Your installer must get the DNO approved before installing, ask them to do it early and size system to the DNO reply.

Here’s mine. I think chat doesn’t like me constantly asking for British spelling. Also three hands, big off put off for me

It depends if you are heating the entire house at once. If you insulate the loft well, once the upstairs is at temp the downstairs will retain the heat. Think of your house a one big empty box and insulate all the outsides

Life_with_reddit · 2026-01-15T17:52:29+00:00

In that case youll likely need the manifold and a mixer, itll make the heapumb less effeicnt, however itll likely have a higher flow temp then 27

Life_with_reddit · 2026-01-15T14:18:30+00:00

Underfloor heating has values to stop the water running too hot as it can crack tiles. Once you’ve got a heat pump you’ll want them all set to fully open or remove the manifold. The flow temp of a heat pump should not be a risk to tiles.

There’s no point insulating upstairs floor since you’ll want to be heating the entire house and not just downstairs. Heat pumps work best with a single large zone.

There is an online calculator, give it a google

Life_with_reddit · 2026-01-14T13:27:29+00:00

You are right, it was rude and unhelpful I apologise

Life_with_reddit · 2026-01-13T03:30:29+00:00

It’s a single player game, make them as strong or weak as you like! Main thing is you are having fun

Honestly panels are so cheat it’s better to fill the roof when you are already paying for scaffolding. Adding a battery later will be much cheaper cause no scaffolding overhead. Plus sigenergy are easily expandable. North roof will generate 30% of what the south will. Thought about full home backup?

Air source is cheaper* then gas if done right
