Quote check - 24x 490w Aiko / 10kw Solis / 16.1kw Fogstar modular battery stack -£12,800

£12,800

As above, including all the usual stuff plus bird proofing.
Comparing it to an Sig system from UPS that I posed previously.

I thought this was great for 24x Aiko panels and a battery I could easily upgrade later myself. The backup system is an extra £650 which I also thought was reasonable.

Thanks in advance for the opinions!

Is this worth restoring?

Bought a house and inherited this Series 3 (I think?) which was left in the garden.

It last ran in 2008 and failed its MOT then for rust on the chassis.

Is it worth restoring? Any suggestions where to begin? I was thinking to change the oil / filter / plugs and battery and see if it turns over!

Advice gladly taken. Thanks!

Handwatch…or not?

I usually wear my watch higher than this, BUT…

What you guys call handwatches technically actually sit over the wrist bones (carpals). Even a little bit further up than them!

What you call wrist watches, sit way up over the forearm bones (radius & ulna).

So I ask you…handwatch? Or true wrist watch? Maybe your wrist watches are actually ‘forearmwatches’!

(Accidental) X-ray of myself, in handwatch mode, showing the wrist/carpals directly under the watch.

Enjoy 😎

Best tariff - heat pump & EV, no solar or battery (yet)

Hi,

We just moved into a large house (360m2, EPC B) with a Nibe heat pump for underfloor heating. We also have one EV which to date has been charged at work.

We both work most days in the daytime. One child so cook around 6pm.

The previous owners used 10,000kwh/year with no EV but essentially ignored any way of optimising their use. I am far more pedantic!

Any suggestions for which tariff I would be best off with at present? Finding it all very confusing. ChatGPT seems to suggest Octopus Cosy or Eon Next Pumped but I currently can’t get my head round it.

Help and advice appreciated. Thanks!

Battery recommendation - high energy use

Hi all,

Looking for home battery / solar recommendations please!

We are moving into a large house next week. EPC B, all electric with heat pump underfloor heating. Current owners use 10,000kwh/year. I think we will be more efficient than that, but adding an EV will probably bring it to roughly the same.

I am thinking of going with just a home battery for now, and possibly adding plug in solar a bit later when it’s approved/more viable. I don’t want panels on the main roof just yet and I think the payoff time will be long.

I’ll use the overnight tariff to charge the battery and the car and hopefully use that to get through the day.

I’m considering the SigStor with 27kWh but that comes to a whopping £12k just for the battery! Could go smaller but then am unsure it’ll make it through a day.

Any suggestions for battery size / brand / price would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Inflatable travel board recommendations

Hi all,

Looking for suggestions for an inflatable board to take travelling with me.

I’m 90 kg, currently riding an Axis Blast 105L. I’m intermediate level - gybing consistently and starting to get some successful tacks in. I use an Axis V2 999 as my main foil (and love it!)

I quite like the mid length shape boards, even though I find them quite tippy. Any suggestion of board type and volume that you think would work well for me would be much appreciated! Both inland and sea use.

Thanks

Which RSV 1000 Gen / model is this?

And any idea of value? 5k miles on the clock (but no MOT).

Thanks!
