Have to be careful with random "solar" websites.
Be especially careful to google the cellphone numbers, and how old the site is (do a whois on the domain name).
Quite a few scam sites out there that will sell "cheap" product and steal your money.

Mmm, I'm not so sure, these are at two critical points for Lithium storage. Almost like the BMS is programmed (VW ECU style) to BS the charger
So maybe not almost.

Mine also sits for a while at 88%, then rapidly goes up to 100%. Normal Pylontech behaviour I believe. I’ve never taken them down to 20% though
Yip. Same here. Also read it is common behavior.
Also haven’t taken mine down to 20%

My Victron ESS holds our gel batteries at 85% when charging, something about waiting for the voltage to peak from what I remember reading and perfectly normal.

It's only because we're diligently looking at the solar performance everyday

Same in CT.
Only managed 34.4kWh yesterday and another overcast day today.
Also think Lanina this year will have more overcast days.
Yip. I need my batteries to charge.It's only because we're diligently looking at the solar performance everyday
I finally installed my 3rd battery this weekend. Overnight, my grid usage was less than 2kwh mostly because of heatpump coming on this morning at 5. If I can increase my hot water storage, then this can be eliminated as well.
34 is still a lot. I managed a tad over 20 yesterday. Grid purchase was 5.1 kWh yesterday.

Is the wall and ceiling not going to be plastered. No matter how careful people are, it’s always a big mess

Not in the garage, no.
Personally I quite like the brick.
Ah okay. I was also going to leave the rib and block look.... then decided Nah, let’s just plaster it.
It absolutely feels to me like that's the case.
Unfortunately my Grafana / InfluxDB instance is down, so I'm not collecting long-term data to compare.
