Still pricey though compared with my re-used growatt batteries.
My Pylontech - £333 per kWh (gross 19.2 kWh)
My re-used Growatt - average of £100 per kWh. (gross 48 kWh)
Pylontech price increase.
Re: Pylontech price increase.
I paid £800 (inc VAT) for the US2000's over 4 years ago and back then the price per kWh was forecast to halve by 2023.

Re: Pylontech price increase.
You were in the right place at the right time for those GrowWatt batteries! Failure-prone controllers made them seem to have failed, but the actual battery was fine. Suddenly there were loads on eBay selling for way less than they were really worth!nowty wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 12:23 pm I paid £800 (inc VAT) for the US2000's over 4 years ago and back then the price per kWh was forecast to halve by 2023.
