Powerwall 2 Prices

Options
In an idle moment yesterday, I emailed a local company to ask about the cost of a second Powerwall2 (battery only: no Gateway). I was quoted £10500 plus VAT. Was he having a laugh? He offered delivery in March. I should add that I have no interest in getting a second Powerwall 2 at that price.

    Wow... that is just wow.  
    Might be cheaper to buy a nissan leaf and park it at home and setup V2G

    That's actually what I have thought of doing with my leaf when it reaches the end of its useful life... still got full bars though!

    Pleased I bought mine when I did. £7,000 including two 300W panels added to our 4kW system due to the VAT difference between just battery & "part of a system."

    Sorry to take this on a tangent.
    How did you go about notifying DNO about energy storage?

    That is nothing, I was quoted 14k + VAT. Ended up getting a Givenergy 9.5kw battery and Eddi and additional 1.6kw system for just under 10k

    No idea I’m afraid, my installer and sparky did all the paperwork. I had a large PV system and the new one is locked to zero export.
