So now that an attractive (to me) split phase solution has come out (EG4 6000XP) for a good price, I'm ready to add battery backup to my house. I currently have 39 Mage 230w panels grid tied with Enphase M190. I am in SE Michigan so for now, I'm not going to hook up any solar to the inverter since I don't want to go on the roof in the cold/snow and peel away 5-6 panels from the Enphase system.
Anyway, my question is: there are a million battery options! I am a skilled DIYer, so should I build up my own 48v batteries (looking to start with about 200AH), or should I not bother and get something off the shelf. For either option, what is the most economical? The inverter price I am fine with, but still, battery prices are hard to swallow! Thanks!
