In other news Octopus called yesterday and basically poo-pooed my Heat Pump install. They seemed pretty disconnected (the sales caller) from the engineer. Basically I discussed with engineer alternate locations etc. The design team at Octopus just binned the whole thing on the basis it wouldn't fit in the side return. So £200 refunded and no smarter about Heat Pump options, sizing, remediations required etc.

get the right inverter and you can fit the fogstar 5kw battery for 2.5k i think....so around 7.5k all done. saving circa 15k over the tesla system

You might wanted to edit that and put the 1 in front of the 5, as the 15kWh battery is £2.5k ;)

PS Got most of my panels and racking from City Plumbing as well, they are local so no expensive delivery charges, only downside was they scratched some of the panels.

:( just had my install completed finally, think I have ended up with cowboy contractors that did it though they have made a mess of my roof tiles.

Jinko 440w x8, FoxESS S3000

It was done under eco4 so I didnt really have much choice or say in the system. Hand over was crap though they never explained anything, they just vanished leaving the scaffolders to remove the scaffolding. One of them mentioned they dont set you up with a monitoring app or anything as it caused them too many call backs. Hoping I can get the wifi dongle to plug into the inverter or get someone to do it for me.

The dongle for access to the cloud does not come with the F and S series Fox inverters. I bought one myself and set it up. Its pretty simple. You can get one for £23 from Tradesparky.
