Generated 121 - exported 88…. So thats 33kwhs used from solar generation and imported 14 from the grid.
So 47kwhs used lol….so yup, you used more than me and you wasnt even home lol
Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

How much solar though?…..cause 70 a month is around 2.5kwhs a day, thats pretty low usage even by my standards
oh yes forgot that bit!
looking at my sunsynk app looks to be 110-130kwh since the feb installation

Before I try and work out if this too good to be true offer is a scam. Does anybody know if this is a scam? 
(I think it's a scam)

Cheers buddy.

Yep, well known scam, been doing the rounds a lot over the years, they look up your details on the MCS register.
Edit, actually reading the letter it is different to what I've seen before.
You can indeed change your panels, and may gain some extra kWh's due to efficiency gains, if you increase capacity then FITs payments are pro-rata'd, so 4kWp system increased to 8 then FITS will be paid on 50% of generation. Of course you need to use an MCS installer.

@oggiet i can recommend spectra solar, they're based in wigan but they install country-wide
they installed my pv system and i've recommended them to others in the past
very reasonable prices as well
@Pyr0m@nI@]{ has also got a battery installed by them as well
@Ace Modder was looking to get a system installed by them, not sure if he has though

Cool, will look into them. Thank you

@oggiet give www.tlgec.co.uk a go, they are in Goudhurst near Tonbridge and did my first install back in 2015
Thank you. Will contact them as well
Tesla Powerwall 3 is now available in the U.K. and it appears to be cheaper than givenergy AIO which you’d need a separate solar inverter for.
£5.5k for the integrated 13.5kwh battery and 11kw 3mppt inverter and £800 for the gateway plus installation.
If this was out 6 months ago, I’d have had it over the giv system I have now.
Edit: just to add, there is nothing wrong with the giv system I have, it’s performing great. The new powerwall is just a bit better and around the same money but there is no need for a separate solar inverter.

But there's always a worry that ballbag will just turn it off in whimsy.
Also having seen some Tesla products up close, the QA isn't tip top
Admittedly, I haven't seen any of the solar stuff.

that's a really good price
It really is. I’m aware you could get more kWh elsewhere but for an integrated package with an 11kw inverter, it’s hard to beat for the cash.
It’s a shame that installers seem to add a bit of a Tesla tax onto the price, well they certainly did historically.
i wish i waited for my install lol
if no installer tax, that powerwall 3 is cheaper than the equivalent sunsynk!
3x L5.21 batteries 90% dod (13.8kwh usable) and the 8kw ECCO hybrid inverter

Wow that’s a really competitive price. Going to kill giveenergy.
Today is the day they start the install, exciting. My neighbours are quite intrigued to say the least.
