So I am looking for recommendations of companies in the Kent area. Please only reply if you have had a system installed by the company in question.
I am in a new build so...
I have a 11kw Air source heat pump heating our UFH. We're looking to fit a Tesla Pwerwall battery and have been advised that we should install a sort starter to avoid spikes when the ASHP starts up which could cause the battery to shut down.
Does anyone have experience with such a situation...

So I got my battery meter for my golf cart through Amazon today. I see two flat tabs where I think will need to connect directly to the battery. My question is, is there a purpose for the two round nuts above them? It looks like they would serve a purpose but not sure what to make if it. TIA

Now I haven't charged a car battery since my teen days but it seems our two year old car like many now are dependant on a good charge for all the functions to operate, the stop/start rarely works and the dealer who we know told me what I already knew it does not go far enough each day. They have...

Hi everyone,
I have a quick question if I may? I'm thinking of adding a second PV system to my existing rooftop PV & battery setup.
As the parts will be second hand due to lack of FITS & poor export prices, I'd like to install as much as I can myself to save money (I've already bought the...
2017 Isuzu Dmax with a smart alternator. Shunt on the negative terminal of the start battery. The picture attached shows how the Negative from the dc/dc charger was connected, prior to the shunt. I feel that I should move it to after the shunt to allow the smart alternator to work properly. Is...
I have two batteries in a series. The balancer has a black, white, and red cable. I understand where the black and red go, but don't understand where the white "pole" goes. It is only a single cable. Do I need to attach a splitter to it, or do I just attach it to one of the terminals in the...
I've seen similar questions but not one that specifically answers my question.
I have a Moixa battery system in my house that uses a clamp sensor on the live feed to use excess solar power to charge batteries, that's all fine of course.
Problem is, and you may guess this, when I fit the...
I'm considering buying a home battery storage solution and read that with 3kWh feed you can only charge 12kW during the 4 hour Octopus Go off-peak window, which makes sense.
Is it the mains supply, battery or inverter that bottlenecks this 3kWh? I've read some batteries (or was it inverters?!)...

Hi there

I have an 8kw solar array and I'm interested in a battery. They all seem mega expensive and can't justify the return I would get. I wondered if anyone had built there own battery rack and whether it worked out much cheaper.

Have dealt with central battery systems in the past, fire rated cable that either loops in and out of the luminaire using ceramic terminal blocks or dropping out from a junction box (again with ceramic terminations/connections) down to the luminaire with standard cable as long as it is kept...
