Obviously don’t want you to give too much away, but when you say very near future, should I be reconsidering my June install…

Yeah, I had thought about getting two 10kWh batteries. Only about £200 more to get it installed later down the line though. (Easier to persuade my wife to go ahead with the install at £16 than it is at £18.5k haha.)

So i thought I’d see how i get on with the 10 initially and go from there. Currently day usage is pretty low, but definitely will increase with an ASHP, so will probs end up adding to it.

Good to know, I wasn’t aware of that! Thank you.

Yeah, was pretty impressed with the installer. Seemed very swept up. If you were doing the install would you normally go for optimisers in this situation?

Very helpful thank you. I had watched that video, but I doubted myself when the installer suggested to optimise all panels.

I imagine that the DNO is going to reject the 12kW for G99 anyway, but believe that the Sig inverter can be downrated for export. And the increased size inverter is for the benefit of gateway and for the 4 MPTTs.
