looking at adding home storage. 10.5kwh is probably ideal but I’m struggling to get quotes and the only one so far has been around £6.5-7.5k depending on the battery supplied. I’ll likely need it installed outside due to lack of internal space, which probably rules out the pylontech unless I build a little shed.
Tesla are selling the powerwall for £8300 including VAT so would be installation on top of that - I’d expect that should come in around £9.5-10k? Some other third parties seem to offer lower installed prices but others are charging more than Tesla for just the battery.
Anyone looked into this and whether its more cost effective to buy direct and get someone to install, or get it supplied and fitted by the same person? Not set on powerwall but likely it’ll be that or a givenergy combo of around 10.5kwh.
I’d also want it to charge during off-peak, discharge during peak, and top up with small amount of solar during peak too - no export as the existing array is FIT registered and I don’t want to touch it. Can the powerwall do that - I’ve heard it tries to be ‘smart’ which to me can also mean ‘I have no control so have to deal with whatever it decides to do’
