Solar PV battery options

I figured it might be an idea to have a specific thread for this topic. Lots of us have home solar with batteries attached, usually GivEnergy, Pylontech etc usually in 2.4/4.8kWh levels. Given the cost of batteries and the pending feed in tariff, its debatable whether these batteries will continue to make financial sense,…

I was at the Solar Ireland conference earlier today where the Minister Darragh O'Brien briefly mentioned a new seai grant for home battery installations is in the works.
I'd imagine we'll know more when the next budget is announced.

A question on pylontech batteries :
I currently have three pylontech 2.4kwh batteries and will be adding another three shortly.
Do I need different cables when adding this extra load, or will the standard cabling provided be enough?
It was very easy adding two a few years to the one I originally had.
The same question if I then increased to 8 batteries.
Thanks!
