That's getting on for sixty grand plus mate, 10 solar panels are around 8 to 10 grand and there are 32 on that roof, the batteries and inverters are around fifteen plus grand, all those controls and wiring, then the two unvented cylinders two grand and that's the second ASHP or is it an air con unit he shows us ? whatever the ASHP got to be three grand, then all that pipework and those fittings be it plate heat exchanger or air separator and the insulation. What's that 20-year payback, by then the batteries will need their second change at some fifteen grand a go and the solar panel will be on their last legs, talk about through the kitchen sink at it.
Impressive system but; 1.Cheaper overnight tariffs all come with higher day tariffs. Many people are returning to one fixed rate. 2. The investment you have made will take years to recover the cost and, rechargeable batteries will need replacing.
You can get 18x 440w panels and 14kw batts and 7kw converter for £10,000 ish these days .. I like the hot water cylinder idea. That'd be extra. Very good. Cars can take up to 90kwh though! Do u have an mcs contract how much does that make u?
Alan, very interested in the journey and all the respective elements. Firstly, Can you give details of the solar panel stack looks very neat and unobtrusive.
Amazing setup Alan, Looking into getting the GE AIO and Gateway if it’s possible to wire it into my house consumer board, Good of you to share the lack of discharging etc and the need for another inverter, That whole system is a dream, What’s the app and monitoring like ?
How does your GivE dual inverter setup work reliably? Had any issues? Did same thing and they lost sync all the time. Got fed up and ditched the lost and went Tesla, 10kw in/out and reliable.
It looks brilliant . Once the batteries are charged and you are not using any or little energy ,does the electricity go back into the grid ? If it does is it metered for out going energy ? If it does go back into the grid will the energy supplier pay you for energy you have made making electricity for them If not they are getting free electricity and selling it on . .
Do all batteries only have a 3kw in and out or do others have a bigger transfer capability? Getting 2 inverters seems quite an expensive solution to this issue. Running oven and a kettle etc would/could exceed the 3kw limit.
Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are the ones to go for.. like in tesla powerwall 3.. they are seen as "incredibly durable" especially if you stay between 20% and 80%
@@AllenHart999 presumably because you simply wanted to maximise storage of PV energy into tanks, and batteries, to cover days without sunshine? So the mixergy benefits (only heat what you use) were lost?
