If anyone is looking for a cheapish DC-coupled battery, there's a used Growatt SP2000 system complete with 5kWh battery on eBay for £1500 at the moment:The seller seems to be a solar PV installer & offers support plus a short warranty. I purchased a used inverter from them last year and am happy with it.N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile.
