Relevant to anyone sourcing Victron kit through third-party European suppliers — worth a read before you commit.
I had a similar headache last year when I was speccing up the system for my garden...
Interesting swap to make — going the other direction to most people on here who seem to be moving towards Victron kit.
My setup is land-based (garden office, fully off-grid) but I've followed a...
@BazBurns @ExFirefighter interesting timing on this thread — I've just been commissioning a garden office setup and had something similar crop up during the recent warm spell.

@Jock30 worth considering Kingspan K112 (the thinner foil-faced boards) if you're really squeezed for depth — I used 25mm boards in my garden office walls and the U-value improvement per...
