Re: Everything Electric Show- Excel Arena 28 - 30th March

By the time of the show, I hope my batteries would have been installed for a fortnight and Octopus have got me on the 15p export. John Don't hold your breath - unless you already have a G98 approval. Despite me having had a smart meter and batteries for a month now they can't / won't even put me on...

Re: Test driving EVs

Yes. It is as simple as that. They expect it. That is why dealers have demonstrator cars. You can also tell a lot by just sitting in a car. Does it feel right, can you easily reach everything, are there any annoying blind spots etc. To be honest, I never bothered with a test drive when I bought my V...

Re: GivEnergy equipment and experiences?

I have decided to go for the Pylontechs. I am rather confused whether it needs to be a G98 or G99 application and am getting conflicting information. I have 2.1kWp of solar PV installed in 2010 and the battery inverter is 3kw ie under 3.68kW or does the DNO add the two together? My DNO is Southern E...

GivEnergy has become our preferred supplier for inverters and battery storage, this is primarily for the following reasons: 12-year warranty for both inverters and b...

Re: GivEnergy equipment and experiences?

Thanks for all the replies. Nowty - I had seen Midsummer's prices and agree my quote looks very good. Yuff and AE-NM I hope you get things sorted out. This is cause for concern. Please update if you get it sorted. Given that the supplier shows photos of Pylontech batteries on their website, I have a...

Re: GivEnergy equipment and experiences?

Hi AE Have you got the app set up yet with the quick set buttons? There are 4 buttons you can use, fully discharge, fully charge, discharge battery to home and pause. These are the ones you need. The inverter settings will dictate the charging rates but when you set the app up and the quick set but...
