extra battery or more PV?
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2024 11:45 am
I keep an eye on the battery prices for the Sunsynk CATL 5.12kWh batteries which I currently have 2 of.
Just noticed that ITS have new stock at only £1300 inc vat, which is down nearly £500 from where it was, and nearly £1k below what I paid for mine!

First question - It's nearly 2 years since my first battery went in - is it a good idea to add another one at this stage in the battery life?
2nd question - thinking forward to having an ASHP fitted, does it make more sense to go from 10 to 15kWh of battery capacity, to fully use the Flux / Cosy cheap rate charging opportunities, or to spend the money on more PV to boost the amount of actual PV generated, even though more of the ASHP useage will be in the winter, when the PV does nowhere near as much?
