They're a no brainer especially if Lidl can nock them out for around £200 in the centre aisle.

Unfortunately for me my back garden has too much shade for panels and I don't think I could get away with them in the front.

So that leaves a roof top install and I think once you have scaffold that you might as well have a traditional install.

Yeah I'm going to wait for lidl to do them, that's the plan anyway. Anything you can buy now is ~£600 (ecoflow is the brand I've seen). Hoping some others take the plunge first to provide some guidance.

Wish plugin batteries were part of it.

I think plugin batteries are coming too.

Right now (well 27th August) you can plug your inverter into a battery but you can't connect the battery to a ring main you have to connect devices directly to it.

That is under assessment though so there's a good chance they could copy the way Germany does it, just like they're doing with the panels.
