@transparent $2032 for 16 280ah cells delivered, all duty and customs paid from your guy
@transparent ignore that request, I see you had a link. I've sent them a message. Cheers
@transparent I've asked Luyuan and Basen for quotes as they are well regarded on the solar DIY forum and Basen also has UK stock. Do you have a link t...
@transparent I haven't, however it's basically a kit and you just follow the steps - they've even made a YouTube video follow along. As for torque, yo...

@justinsb in my view, that's too much on 10kwh of storage. £750 per kwh of storage. You should be aiming for more like £250. I would set my ceiling ...
@saz just give them any old temperature, as long as you can manually adjust to tweak who cares what they give you
