    Just had a tentative quote for £7k8 jump to £9k4 so that's that kicked into touch again. I'll continue to wait for bi-directional charging EV's.
    That's just predatory sales tactics.  2 of the 4 installers I use are installing the PW3 for ~£7.5K. I'm confident this will come down after the initial batch/ hype fades.
    -  10 x 400w LG Bifacial + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial + 2 570W SHARP Bifacial + 5kW SolarEdge Inverter + SolarEdge Optimizers. SE London.

    -  Triple aspect. (33% ENE.33% SSE. 34% WSW)

    -  Viessmann 200-W on Advanced Weather Comp. (The most efficient gas boiler sold)

    Feel free to DM me for help with any form of energy saving! Happy to help!

    Looks like it has finally launched. Priced at £6.3K + installation including Gateway (which itself costs £800 and is expected to be deprecated soon in favour of a more software based solution)
    From who..?
    That's approximately what the distributors are charging installers for the initial stock of batteries. Add around £1-1200 labour on top for end customer prices.
    So, £7k5 all in for a Powerwall 3 with built in Home Gateway functionality. I'll have to run the numbers again... Possibly 5-6 year RoI which would be the lowest so far...

    In case you are serious, then you could get a brand new 60kWh Nissan leaf for £23k*, 4yr olds for ~£10k. Not sure of the cost of a V2G charger installed, perhaps £5k?

    *Think of it as a huge home battery, with a car thrown in ..... for free(?)
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
