I’m not sure tbh So in a power outage ( only ever caused by me ) only the pw2 would kick in is not an issue for me ( I know it is for you ) . Regarding SE and that ‘feature’ best ask installer

Erm , um ! I think it’s a new SE inverter for both ( I’m guessing of course ) . Yeah it’s tricky even with hindsight . I choose PW2 because that was the most publicised and reviewed choice I.e other brands were far more limited . I did regret not getting 3 phase initially - but now it doesn’t really matter . i *guess* if I was starting fresh today I’d go more PV straight away and have 3 SE batteries ( max I think on 1 phase ) . As it stands though I can achieve similar. 1 x PW , 1 x SE battery ( will add another later if it makes sense ) , 4kw pv upgraded to 7.2kw with optimisers .

I do . But can’t add another pw as DNO won’t allow . So adding SolarEdge batteries with a SolarEdge inverter ; also extra pv all with SE optimisers .

It’s the middle of the week so the answer is 🍷

Also installer takes responsibility for it all . Must admit I worry if I bought everything and then have my sparky install it and there’s an issue ( even later on ) . Take the easy route 😁

I see. My additional SolarEdge battery is being zero rated ( no issue from the company) yet I have PV already.... Yeah -there's a lot of other things to think about I agree; it can be overwhelming .

Why can’t you zero rate if battery is installed after pv ? . It’s a new build so vat exempt on supply and install ….

Not enough pb screws ! Got it !

Sorry , what’s wrong in the photo ?

I know what he said . I saw it before it got deleted “ FFS - sort it out man . Kick some arse and make it happen . Look at @pocster he doesn’t pussy around “

Ah ! Bum smells !!

Isn’t that all part of your installers job though ??

Nor me I’d just ring the DNO and ask . In theory it shouldn’t matter as you are removing something rather than adding . But you know it could come back and bite you …

I would *just in case * - but as your storage is off the pv inverter they won’t care …

Yeah I did wonder on Antigua that there might be a lack of B&Q, Porcellona , and tile show rooms. I am jealous I must admit. Every holiday is the Caribbean for me and I love it. Permanently wearing shorts ; as I do in the UK. 🤗 Also no need for ( walk on ) glazing - is music to my ears!

Holiday???. You're on a tropical paradise island! - where would you go!!!😎

I did wonder about the heat - must be punishing on a self build. 70k for outsourced labour is pretty good. So all the finishing e.g. tiling, boarding, fitting out, bathrooms, kitchen etc. etc - you doing that?

What do you reckon your Labour costs will be ? . Assume you aren’t doing any of the build ??

You need to man up 💪💪💪💪💪😂

I bought cheap core bits - that was probably the issue

Cornwall is now your new Caribbean home !

I have a core drill . It’s a slow and messy job . In the end I bought a really decent masonry drill bit and simply multiple holes I.e stitched the hole out . Was less effort and certainly less dust .

Was due to go to Antigua- but Covid came along . Perhaps if we go this year I can visit !? . Am I allowed to ask your budget ?

I did like your apron

No . They had both options . It was my choice .
