WHy is one solution say a prepackaged solution better than a seperate component solution?
Ignore the brand (As a geneneralisation)
I've a Enphase micro inverter solar system 240v grid tied 12.7Kw Enphase system, Shed Roof mounted.. it cut my bills from $7,500 A year to ~$1,000 A year. We've had it for 8 months but lots of excess solar power going to waste and would rather self utilise it more with battery backup for power outages to run critical loads with the help of my gen set.
Looked at a Tesla pre-packaged type solution and at $15,000 would take 10 to 15 years to break even so not an option.
Our solar will payback in <3 years!
Installers only do a prepackaged commercial all in one "Tesla type" battery system.
So started to go down the seperate component DIY with some sparky assistance route looking for something more affordable with a pay back of < 4 to 5 years. However a 12 to 15kw inverter system with a small server rack battery isnt a big difference in price!!!!
WHAT AM I MISSING....As I thought it would be a big difference
I was kinda hoping for a solution <$5k, but that appears to be fairy land thinking
Is there a better approach?
