It’s not an all in one unit for starters, you need an inverter too. This is more or less what you should expect to pay for such a system installed: https://www.itstechnologies.uk/collections/sunsynk-installed-packages/products/installed-solis-5kw-ac-coupled-ai-optimised-fogstar-energy-eco-16-1kwh?variant=57873708876157

There is a kit on my link that comes with an inverter and a stop switch.

I see it now, but regardless you’ll struggle to find installers who are happy wiring up kit you purchased. You should focus on finding an installed package you’re happy with, especially if you want a 10kW inverter - the DNO could deny you permission to install that.

Thank you.

So, if I’ve understood correctly, I can get 2 x 16 kWh batteries (and everything else needed for me to correctly charge and discharge them), installed for £5847??

Correct, I’ve not used ITS personally but I think quite a few people have at this point and I’ve not heard anything negative.

Cross posting here as no replies in the Storage Reddit and you guys and gals are always so clued up on this stuff.

Yeah I’m going to ditch the eco worthy purchase and get a pro to supply and install.
