EV wall charger to support Agile?

Some reading through here and r/ElectricVehiclesUK suggests the Hypervolt, Zappi and Anderson are all decent chargers to go for, with some questions about Ohme.

They all look to support "smart" tarrifs like IoG, but I can't find any details about if they're clever enough to work with Agile and pick the cheapest charging window etc?

Quote check on 13.95 kW PV

I have a large metal roofed (think farm style) shed. Orientated SSW, no shading.

I got a quote from a local supplier who has done electrical/plumbing work for us in the past and I've been impressed with their work.

Will be getting other quotes, but would appreciate feedback on this:

  • West Midlands
  • 30 x AIKO 465W solar panels
  • 5 x Sigenergy 8.76kWh Batteries
  • Sigenergy Sigenstor 12kW 1ph Hybrid inverter
  • Sigenergy HomePro SP-F Backup Gateway 1ph
  • 11'000 kWh annual usage (15'000 kWh including hybrid car charging)
  • 5kW export limit
  • Single Phase
  • £29'350 - no bird protection, scaffolding already supplied
  • 11,970 kWh annual generation
  • 11 year expected ROI
  • MCS certified registration
  • All electric house with GSHP for DHW and heating. 10 kWh hybrid car, potential future purchase of a full EV
  • Currently with Octopus Agile, can switch to Go.

Edit

  • Renusol Metasole mounting system
  • 50m run from inverters/battery to domestic CU
  • inverters/battery in shed itself

Deciphering Steelcase Leap V2 "style" code

Given a Steelcase Leap V2 "style" code (printed on the label) can you work out what features/options the chair has?

A Steelcase Leap V2 has come up for sale and the seller isn't 100% sure what's on the chair (it's an office clearance job I think)

The style code I have is 462200MPUFWH01

How would people recommend I lay some concrete round top edging (600x150x50mm) between a lawn and flower beds?

Reading guides, it seems to be

  • Dig trench and compact soil

Then advice get mixed, either:

  • Just set on sharp sand
  • Lay wet concrete and set the stones in it
  • Lay dry postcrete, set stones on top and water
  • A combination of the above

They need to handle the odd lawnmower hit and kids playing.

I only want to do this job once, but I don't want to over engineer things unnecessarily
