Questions and answers
Since my Solar I-boost was installed in 2014, when I had no battery storage, I have had retrofit Pylon 2 x 3.5kWh batteries and then a new generation system installed with 3 x Fox EP5 5.18kWh batteries - ie a total BESS od 22.54 kWh x 90% = 20+ kWh of usable storage - and so my I-boost is only heating the water when I have SOC 100% = 22.54 kWh stored. But can I not leave my gas HW heating off and simply press the manual boost and use any available battery storage ??
