Some interesting data, although given the high initial cost of installation I feel those "we paid only 1£" are a bit misplaced.
Anyways, I finally scraped together some money and also got a 5kw LiFePO4 battery system yesterday. Still need to install everything DIY, but I will probably hook up some statistics monitoring system as well as the new hybrid inverter has a cool integration with the Home Assistant software.
I've been thinking of getting a hybrid inverter (rather than manually moving loads between grid power and inverter/solar power). How much did it set you back?
Slightly above 1000€ 😖 (made by FoxESS like the battery system)
Don't take it as a general recommendation as I have yet to test it, but spec wise it seems to be a relatively good value for money.
