Been waiting for Givenergy battery for nearly 8 weeks(from install) and nearly 5 months from order/contract date. 
Anyone else in the same boat?

    Other people have chosen different brands to get installation in a reasonable time.

    That is an option.  
    The installers have already put in the AC coupled inverter and have done all the wiring which is needed. A bit stuck

    The Pylontech importers had a consignment in, a week or so ago. I fear they may have sold out, by now, in these fevered times.

    Somebody, here, went for Huawei to get a quick installation.

    If I change, I might have to go back to DNO. 
    The solar panels are Enphase system and the Givenergy would be considered as a separate generator ☹️

    Have you checked if any of the other sizes of battery are more readily available? A friend was faced with a long wait for an 8.2kWh battery but opted for immediate delivery of 2 x 5.2kWh.

    Cambridgeshire. 
    Might ask about the smaller size battery. 
    My order was for 2 * 8.2 KWh

    Try getting hold of 3 x 5.2 

    or 2 x 5.2 & leave an 8.2 on back order.

    I've been waiting for a few months. My quote was very good so I'm reluctant to change, but it's quite frustrating. I am wondering what the price of the 9.5kWh will be.
