yup, If from the EU then likely you'll import duty and then vat on the post/packaging.

Can add a significant sum to a good looking deal..

On the topic of Home battery without solar..

I got a call back from Bimble today regarding their bundle and somebody that might be able to assist with the design/install fingers rossed.

They also mentioned about getting a discount IF I bought their solution from this chap they referred, due to not being able to offer the 20% vat discount.

I thought there was some deals a few years ago but that it referred to panels.

Is there VAT exemption on this stuff?

Yes if you have some solar panels fitted at the same time by an approved installer. Retrofit batteries later even with an installer means 20% VAT.

Looks like my pergola install might need another upgrade ^^
