I thought the website was joke when I saw it, AFTER a call the wife received this morning from a dubious solar & battery firm "doing a job near you" called "solar panel funding" who informed her there was more money in the govts green scheme home renewables budget (nope, I hadn't heard either) ..I smell "horse biscuits"
Clearly working on a brand that people knew (owned by gambling proctologists innit) !?

Now owned by Berkshire Hathaway

I believe they are an overpriced re-badged BYD battery system and where sold through a company called "Social Energy" who had a fancy website, but have since ceased trading.

I would not touch one with a barge poll.
16.9kW PV > 107MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 22MWh generated
5 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 510 m3

Thanks nowty, it does indeed look like a 2015 "build your dreams" unit.

The website selling em is designed by the same company as the solar firm link, so any astute person knows there is something that stinks there.

Guessing you refer to this guy... & the trail of solar companies in that burgeoning list.

Does the phrase "make HPAY whilst cos the sun shines spring to mind" !?
