Given the 15p for exporting I’d go AC. IIRC you’re already filling your batteries fast and throttling generation on sunny days.

Re: My Pylontechs for Sale
The batteries care not about single vs 3 phase. That’s a problem for the inverter.

Re: Van of enormous power Mk 4
I think timber with OSB roof and torch on felt would be the a good option. Then lets you use normal hardware onto joists which you have already sized to take the extra weight. It’s what I did on my garage! My garden office is dimber frame with 19mm OSB3 covered in cheapo felt. Been there nearly 10 ...

Re: tidal lagoons rather than barrages ?
I think all these schemes are a waste of time and money. Nothing ever comes of them and money that could be spent on proven wind/solar is diverted... but you must admit that lagoons a) are renewables, b) work when wind and solar can't and c) (if you had a cluster of lagoons) could help with storage...
