    Wasn't aware Pylontech did a 5kw battery, the US5000 is 4.8kw and it's usually recommended you only take it down to 10% DOD.

    You've chosen a good company.
    I would consider the bird proofing. I ordered it, but they forgot to put in on the van. By the time they came back out, we were inundated with pigeons.
    Also the battery you've got, that's not very big. Worth getting bigger and taking advantage of the 0% VAT if batteries are for you.
    I agree with point. Panels are the equivalent of putting up a sign for a free room at the Four Seasons, for a rock pigeon! 
    -  10 x 400w LG + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial Panels + SE 3680 HD Wave Inverter + SE Optimizers. SE London.
    -  Triple aspect. (22% ENE/ 33% SSE/ 45% WSW)
    -  Viessmann 200-W on Advanced Weather Comp. (the most efficient gas boiler sold)

    Feel free to DM me if I can help with any energy saving!

    I concur too. We used the same firm (no battery, however) and have the old pigeon wiring installed t'boot.
