The inverter will be 8kW so that limits the output too, voltage peaks around 248 and lows of 243 so should be good.
Was 99% on the Sunsynk 8 ke due to the charge/discharge current of 190 amp max just incase the cheap slots get reduced all the info about their app being rubbish is stopping me, also looking at a Solis 8kW now but need to compare

Solid insulation, cut, foamed and foil taped.

That'll make a fair improvement in heat retention.

Re: Insulating Timber Garage
Yep, hope so, back of cigarette pack about 4 times better than original.
Just making improvements as and when i can.

Sunsynk and Solis are both reliable inverters with “Made in China” user interfaces. Sunsynk seems to be the popular choice these days. This market has moved a lot in recent years. 5-years ago you’d struggle to find a hybrid inverter that could charge quicker than 2kW.

What did you use to cut the plaster as it looks pretty neat?

Re: Insulating Timber Garage
Indeed cooling for the 2 weeks a year we need it is also a factor( however the heat will be what swings SWMBO to an A2A pump in a few years
Lath cut with dewalt multitool. By far the best tool for cutting lath and not damaging the surrounding area.
The exposed edge will get some PVA mix to stabilise the cut so that when the plastering takes places it doesn’t get on the finish.
Easy night tonight moving some 900x1800 plasterboard from the garage to the bedroom, deliberately using smaller sheets for manhandling around rooms, staircase etc
