Yes we were aware of this. It's being installed outside in an insulated shed so access to put in an earth spike shouldn't be an issue. Microsoft Word - EPS configuration (givenergy.cloud) The link above gives some detail about the Givenergy inverter in island / EPS mode. We have chosen method 3 which is the manual switch over of the entire consumer unit. Taking the advice from @TonyT above perhaps I should wait on the hot water diverter until I have a better picture of exactly how much surplus we will have. I was mainly pushing ahead with the tank as im having some plumbing done to convert one room to a bathroom and replacing the power hungry electric shower with a traditional mixer so thought I could kill two birds with one stone whilst ive got the plumber in.

Givenergy Gen 2 5kw Hybrid inverter.

We've asked for a manual switch over so we know to isolate any high draw items to avoid damaging the inverter.

Because my wife wanted to have the house "protected" against power cuts.

@TonyT Thank you for the reply, we will be having a hybrid inverter and battery fitted when givenergy gen 2 inverters are available. @JohnMo Thank you for your schematic, I think I understand what's going on but I have a couple of questions What is AVV is short for? some kind of relief valve? Also what the the circular/dot connections on the tank in the Heating diagram? Is the buffer built into the tank like this Telford one? or separate. Would you mind telling me where your tank came from? Thank you

Hello all, First time post. Weve just downside and bought a small 1960's bungalow, which is currently heated by a gas combi boiler. There are only two of us most of the time, so a 5 bed house was deemed unnecessary in the current climate. Were due to have Solar PV and a battery storage installed (Currently on hold due to part availability) We would like to dump any excess solar into a hot water tank. As there is currently a combi boiler fitted there is no hot water tank but we have a space for one in an airing cupboard. Plan 1 was to install ASHP but the house plumbing is the wonderful microbore system so would require re plumbing throughout to achieve the require flow rates plus potentially bigger radiators so that idea was parked. Plan 2 was to get a Mixergy cylinder, but this would only help with the DHW and a couple of plumbers have said that its not really suitable for being fed by a combi. Plan 3 Was to use excess solar to heat the tank to pre-heat water before going into the boiler, I like this idea but unfortunately the old combi (2006ish British gas / Worcester) is not able to accept pre-heated water. So after some reading around on this forum I think I need some advice on a plan 4. New gas boiler (combi or system?) New tank (Two immersions, two coils, does it need a buffer tank) Eddi to deal with the diversion Any help would be greatly appreciated.
