Holy cow, where do we start... $149,000 of batteries... are they unaware of other options on the market today? 12V batteries in series...

What do you envision the outcome will be if you were to limit the bypass current? You still have too much load on the system. Where...

Needs more panels.

How did you like it? I'm eager to add another 5kWh to my setup but can't decide on the vendor. - ExpertPower - CloudEnergy - Vatrer -...

If I do go with this inverter and do something like 6s2p or 5s2p if the panels have a voc of 50 volts and an isc of 13 amps what happens...
