Just scored a one year old 2.4kwh Pylontech for £715 delivered on fleabay.

I read that as £175 and got quite excited for a moment

I'd have had them both at that price.

I purchased my ones direct from this company and they arrive tomorrow. I think its a good price for brand new one inclusive of Vat at £765 for a 2.4kWh US2000C (I bought 5 of them and they give you a £15 discount per battery on orders over 4 batteries so the saving made my shipping cost only around £19 for all of them.

Yeah that's a pretty good deal for new Pylontechs.

I 2nd this. You missed a group purchase a couple of months back (See my earlier posts) where I got a stack of batteries to make use of a per battery discount for an order over 4 batteries, plus savings on shipping. 

Batteries all arrived on a palette, no issues.

out of interest how much power should i expect that the batteries will supply to my home power consumption if I have 5 of them ? you have 3 so im thinking it will be at least that ?

ah my signature is out of date. I'm up to 3 x 2.4kw and 2 x 3.5kw batteries now. I have a high energy use home and I consume every bit of solar in house usage alone for 90%+ of the year... I load up my battery bank with cheap power overnight on intelligent octopus, which basically runs my entire home from 5:30am to about midday (currently - this will extend significantly as we move to summer and i generate more on PV) before hitting my minimum SOC on the battery. I then switch over to the 'expensive' day rate until the next slot i'm granted.

I guess im looking for the cover it will give for say running my electric shower at 8kWh will the batteries cover it or will i still need to draw from the grid ?

Not sure what your microonverters do, I  still learning too. But my understanding is that your inverter will only pump out 3.6Kw at a time. As your batteries are DC then this will be converted by the inverter to AC at max of 3.6 but I am not sure .

mine is a hybrid Lux so I don’t know if that makes a difference in that it does it all in the one unit

The max output is 3.6kw from one Lux ac controller with 3 or more Pylontechs (1.2kw output per 2.4kwh Pylontech module).
You would need 2 parallel Lux controllers to increase to a max of 7.2kw with 6 Pylontechs.

The enphase microinverters give me a per panel performance that isnt affected by partial shading like a string inverter would be as on a string you lose power to one panel (reduced by 50%) then the entire array is reduced by 50%. I got them as they are not giving me a single point of failure and the research showed me that they seem to have a longer life time. 

newbuilder

I looked at the same solar system but by a different name. When they came to fit the they failed!!

the only bonus of more batteries with the Lux is that they last longer not that they can be pulled on more
