Boxed in battery/inverter?

I’m having a 6kW inverter and 2 5kW batteries installed once I get the G99 back. I have an idea to box them in as I want to get the wife’s approval 😅

Has anyone done this before? My plan was to have two sections, an insulated section for the battery and a vented section for the inverter. I’ve used AI to generate an example of what I was planning.

Any suggestions or advice would be welcomed.

iDNO G99 request time?

I’m in the midlands in a new build house, how long could I expect a iDNO to issue a G99? Our iDNO is The Electricity Network Company Ltd

We are getting a 6.42kWp system with a 6kW inverter and 10kW of batteries

Should I go for one battery or two?

I was originally looking for solar and a 10kW battery I’ve been quoted 9.4k for a fix 11kW and 9.9k for a sig 9kW battery (both with 18 panels)

I was leaning more towards the sig for the extra battery cycles but is it worth the extra 1.3k for get the second battery?

Looking at solar as we are using about 11,000kWh a year with a 50:50 split of nighttime and daytime usage. We have one ev and a plugin hybrid
