@ben@mastodon.bentasker.co.uk Very interesting, we currently have a 12 year old 3.6kW system split across East and South, and I'm pondering adding something on our West facing roof to extend the generation day. Also we have no battery storage yet, so I've been pondering an Ecoflow Stream Ultra X with an Ecoflow smart meter to ensure export limit is not breached. I'm still not completely convinced on value for money though.

    @nick I think a standalone (in the sense no seperate hybrid inverter) system like that might have a better chance at breaking even

    £1500 for 3.8kW doesn't feel too bad particularly with them claiming (and I assume warrantying) a 15yr lifetime.

    I think my only reservation from a skim of the specs is the 2.3kW peak output (but then, that'd be quite a high sustained load).

    I think I'd want it wired into a spur rather than plugged in too 😀
