Good Value?

#1

Post by Stinsy »

Too far for me to go, but could be good value for someone:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363618048813
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

(Artist formally known as ******, well it should be obvious enough to those for whom such things are important.)

I’d forgotten about this. 10 mins to go and £400 anyone think that’s worth the risk?

I think its a shockingly high price for something 4 years old found in an attic, no idea of the cycles its done or whether its sat there empty for months. I paid similar prices for twice the capacity several years ago for lithium batteries with an unknown history. Might be OK but even if it is ok, its not a bargain.

I cannot believe they can even state its in "good condition", they have not even photographed it switched on showing the LED status which suggests to me none of them will be on. Might require opening up and force charging some life into the cells just to get it working.

And an ebay seller with zero feedback !!!! :?

Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 30MWh generated
6 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage

40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 520 m3
