Re: UFH to be connected to ASHP ?

Hmm, maybe there's a chance then to get the grant, but how could they define an electric heating system as a fossil fuel heating system, seems contradictory? What exact system could that be?

Re: UFH to be connected to ASHP ?

The grant is only available afaik if you are removing a source of heat that uses combustion, as its to incentivise the change to electric heating rather than gas/oil boilers etc I'm afraid.

Re: Fogstar Seplos Mason Kits

Well, I went for 2 lots of the V4 kit with the 280Ah B cells, got an extra 5% off, so £2658 for 28.7kWh of storage, which swayed me to place the order this morning, delivery next Thursday! :) Can't wait to get the build going. Compared to what I paid for the first 4 Pylontechs I bought 3.5years ago,...

Re: Fogstar Seplos Mason Kits

Thanks, good to hear someone who has those exact same grade B cells, and to have some reassurance they're still decent, was it also a DIY kit from Fogstar? Anyone else have Grade B cells? For the cost difference it seems like a good deal that I'm leaning towards, despite the slightly lower performan...

Re: Fogstar Seplos Mason Kits

:lol: I'm only 45 so bloody hope so! In our forever home so no issue with having to move them in future and no planned changes in electricity usage (already have HP's and EV etc), apart from kids leaving home in 10+years so only going to go in one direction. Hopefully any battery will still have dec...

Re: Fogstar Seplos Mason Kits

I'm looking into these kits right now. If people had a choice, would they go for A - V4 kit with Eve MB31 Grade A 314Ah cells (16.08kWh) for £1799, https://www.fogstar.co.uk/collections/seplos-mason-kits/products/seplos-v4-kit-and-x16-mb31-314ah-grade-a-bundle or B - V4 kit with Envision Grade B 280...

Re: Battery-inverter cables upgrade

Cheers, will dig out the IR thermometer ive got somewhere for later when it starts charging, although all the connections inside the disconnector are hidden when its in use so i'll only be able to look at the lug inside the inverter and cables themselves. Reason for the 50mm2, nothing major, just a ...

Re: Battery-inverter cables upgrade

Just to finish this off, all new cables just fitted. New cutters worked a treat, nice clean tidy cuts on the 50mm cable: https://i.postimg.cc/Jzz2fMGm/IMG-20250123-092542.jpg Lugs slot on nicely, chock full of the cable before crimping, then nice and tight afterwards, finished with some electrical t...

Re: Battery-inverter cables upgrade

Ah, think I've got the smaller nh00 keto, which has m8 bolts&lugs. Did your batteries come with the cables? Like your say, shame to butcher them, but it'll make it a simpler install and saves cables/busbar & extra connections.

Re: Battery-inverter cables upgrade

Hi, seems like we're on the same mission at the mo! Yes, the cable seems good quality so I'd buy it again. Lugs were a good price and I've crimped a couple on already using what seems like the same crimper you've just ordered from ebay too, just I had to use a smaller die on the crimper to get a goo...
