| @old_scientist its not the size of the battery that limits my system, I can easily add a second or 3rd/4th one. Its stackable. What is the issue is the Inverter is limited to 2.5kWh, i was told thats ... | ||

|

| @gz00 (heads up that some heat pump tariff providers will require you to submit your MCS certification when you apply. If not already in your possession, it’s time to chase the installer). Also ensure... | ||
