Currently 5kwh on my main system, with 3kw hybrid inverter.
I have various other smaller systems (mainly DIY portable generators), and some unused Lifepo4 cells.
But I voted 5kwh because it's the main system.
 
Missing poll choice: Not big enough!

I think we can all agree that we all want more😅

74 Kwh in house, 114 Kwh in shop and another 14 Kwh in work trailer that can be rolled out anytime.

I do have a Luyuan box coming but no cells to fill it. :)

That's a lot of juice! And another juice box to fill😅
 
Just a measly 21.5 KWh off-grid with three 24v mason kits.
The consumption is generally 4-5 KWh per day so I should have 4 or 5 days worth in storage for bad sun days. Rarely see more than three bad days in a row, which is how I decided on the three boxes. Generator backed up just in case.
 
Just a couple 5.12KWh Lifepower4 batts with 120V stuff mostly off grid, 240V stuff all on grid. Enough battery power to get us from dusk to dawn, but not enough to get us thru more than a couple days of clouds.

It's been cold over the last month so the electric heat is eating us alive. 12KW draw every time it comes on..
