Have they solved the world's big energy problem or snake oil?


It is total snake oil. It was installed during the winter and I very
quickly found that if solar generation was too low it recharges on Mains
Electricity and then at night replaces mains with its power causing two
lots of energy wastage as you will never get out what you put in due to
inefficiencies inherent with all electrical equipment. Unit in mid summer
takes 10 minutes to charge and 5 minutes to discharge. Have commenced
legal action. What a waste of money!


Did they state an actual storage capacity?

Their web site is remarkably coy about any numbers or technical
detail. Did you ever get sight of any?
