Hello all. Registering here to learn from the experts - this seems to be a highly knowledgable and active community!
We built a modestly sustainable house in 2009 with massive insulation, underfloor heating and a Daikin 16KW air-source heat pump. We couldn't afford PV during the build but added 5.6KW in 2017. Again, couldn't afford a battery back then but we're looking at it now - so expect a post in the storage section soon asking for tips!

Welcome to the forum.
We fitted Solar in 2011 and then retrofitted AC coupled batteries in 2022, best move we've made. The cost of batteries is going back down a bit now and with the import unit price the pay-back time is fairly short.
