[QUOTE="NY13, post: 531160, member: 35340"] [USER=1780]@JohnB[/USER] thanks for the reply, super helpful. I can see me getting something very similar to what you have now but probably without the EDDI/immersion heater for the time being, though that may appear in phase 2. I am inferring from what you are saying (correct me if i'm wrong) [LIST] [*]The extra battery capacity will help you leverage the cheap electricity at night from Octopus Go in the winter when you generate less yourself? I had a look at Octopus this week and I can only dream of getting electricity at 7p/kWh at night so I may have missed that boat. [*]The HARVI allows you to control the flow of electricity between the panels or grid and Zappi/battery/house from your phone, even away from the house, like a bond villain? [*]I may need to replace the podpoint charger with a Zappi for full control. I would hate to do that as it's only a year old but if I have to I have to. The podpoint is mounted inside the garage so looks are not important. [*]Your savings will only get bigger in October and then January unless the government intervenes massively so you will be looking at recouping the investment in around three years? If so that is crazy. [/LIST] Many thanks for the info. Did you research for installers on the various websites or did you get someone recommended? Thanks everyone else too for the tips. I take the view that the more I know the better. [/QUOTE]
