SunSynk LifeLynk Hybrid Inverter - So EASY It's Almost Cheating! 

Great points Mark 👍🏻

Dual purpose

U can use the app 👍🏻

It’s the dark nights which are the problem for full off grid.

Yes but if you have battery storage as well then I don’t see any problem, also most of are in bed sleeping by 9.30 pm . As we have to be up early for work and the kids if you have any have be up early four school ,So surely you would use power from the solar panels during the day and the power from the battery in the evening?

If people in America can go totally off grid I don’t see why we can’t . They have dark evenings as well .

​@@Dog-whisperer7494 If you can live off grid great, makes much more (financial) sense for most people to be on grid, sell electricity when you can, and buy it in when you need in winter, means you can get the most out of a smaller battery system by cycling it most of the year.

@@efixx Wrong! Nights are what the battery is for, its the winter months that will be the problem, especially December and January. It is incredibly diffiuclt to go electrically off grid with solar in this country, this video is misleading and makes it sound so easy.

That profile picture looks like you could be in a place where off grid is useful.

@@efixx will be there In the Khumbo maybe Oct installing a small system in a village called Kapti to overcome their regular’load shedding’!

If you have plenty of space you could go for a ground mount installation.

Octopus Agile doesn't need any of those (though better if you do obviously). I was on a cheapish tariff for ASHP (Cosy Octopus) that gave me 6 hours at 16p/kWh (off peak) 3 hours Peak at 48p/kWh, and the rest around 30p/Kwh but have just changed to Octopus Agile....now unit prices change every 30mins and aren't guaranteed or subject to price cap...most of my electricity so far (last week or so) has been under 15p/kWh say 13p/kWh on average, but between 4pm and 7pm its been 30-32p/kWh. Cheapest so far has been 8p/kWh but it can go much lower or even free, equally it COULD go really expensive (max £1/kWh) looking back over the last year that doesn't seem to have happened much if at all. My bill in January was £640 (small 3 bed semi), but had I been on Agile it would have been £399. Reckon my average kWh cost has dropped by about 20p peak peak rate and everything else has halved. Kicking myself I didn't switch sooner. If I had batteries (and I'd need a lot of them say 50kWh), and a compatible EV charger then maybe it would be cheaper on some of those EV specific tariffs but not by much.

Ground mount what? The actual Hamlet is Grade 2 Listed so no possibility what so ever for solar@@efixx

Thanks for that I will talk to Octopus again who are my current supplier, they said that I needed either Solar or EV@@mikebarry229

Pretty sure EDF never checked if I actually had an EV

Did you watch the video?

@ Yes hence my comment. Did I miss something, although with the final words you imply its not serious.

This unit uses LiFePO4 cells which have far less runaway issues than NMC etc to the point where runaway is really not an issue unless they are severely abused. If you are concerned only about the burning things down aspect, you can rest safe in the knowledge that your building being on fire is likely how your lifepo4 cells caught on fire rather than the other way around. It's still not a good idea to have them inside a living space since if they are involved in a fire, not necessarily the cause of, the gasses they release are quite nasty.

Well, as far less and Quite nasty are off the cards lets increase the odds by rolling out more home batteries ,few years degradation and roll the dice. @@retrozmachine1189
