Not going to look to Colin?

Probably not what you want to do if not your house, but if you have some you could build your own and shift the pylontechs over.

I must admit to being tempted to grab 32 and selling my pylontechs, give a bit of leeway over the winter months.
Solar PV: 6.4kW solar PV (Eurener MEPV 400W*16)
PV Inverter: Solis 6kW inverter
Batteries: 14.4kWh LiFePO4 batteries (Pylontech US5000*3)
Battery Inverter: LuxPowertek 3600 ACS*2 battery inverter
WBS: 8kW Hunter Avalon 6 Multifuel burner (wood only)

I just don’t get enough time regardless of how tempted I might be to build my own.

It’s my house but the batteries are located in the utility room so I will try to keep it looking neat for the MiL’s peace of mind and aesthetics.

One day though that annexe will be upgraded to something more befitting the space it has available for ahem “green crap” 🤣
