What do you think of these for backup?

3.6 kWh isn't much.
How much stuff do you plan to run on it, and for how long?

I was just looking for emergency backup, running the bare essentials. Fridge, freezer, sump pump, water pump & furnace.
I can get by with my 3500W gen if needed.
Yea I'd like to have 30KW of solar, to run the place, but I'd have to find someone to do the whole thing.

15-16 yrs ago a partner of mine had a very similar set up, he ownd GE Lee electric and was pretty smart about solar, but it was in infant stages when he put his in, he could get car batteries charged, nothing on his house would work because not enough juice or storage? Kevin would be the guy to send a PM to IMO

Waste of money.... you can built that yourself for a fraction of the cost. The only thing you won't have is the pretty case.

A 15kw DIY 48V battery is about $1000
Add $150 for a bms.




Buy this $800 inverter and you can hook up solar panels to it and have a complete rechargeable system !
