Solar panel and battery quandry

In my case the technical design guy picked up the issue about getting access. Commercial guy said not to worry, if scaffolding was needed that was all included. A guy visited specifically to check it out, and said they'd probably use a mobile platform that would clamp to the uprights, but final decision would be with the install team. Install team were happy with a ladder.1

I'd consider one of the batteries from Fogstar too, they're much more of a budget option, they're not compatible with the Octopus intelligent tariffs but with one of the tariffs that offer very cheap off peak electricity eg Octopus Go, EON drive you can have very cheap electricity. That's the route I've gone down.Screwdriva said:
Been through this with several PW3 owners. As long you run the heavier appliances (heat pump hot water cycle, washer, dishwasher) outside of the peak window, Intelligent Flux blows all other tariffs out of the water.didsbury said:
I am currently on Agile for the last 3/4 months, but I am considering changing when I see how the summer progresses.
For future enhancements, I will try to work out costs and benefits, but again, later.Solar install June 2022, Bath
