This might be a nice way to go off grid. I have 2 HDT Balance of System (BOS)
units with 5 solar panels. Engineer told me I could tie 2 together to get 220 v
ac out. Outback GTFX2524, FLEXmax 60, and alot more in them. I will let them go
for my cost. Got at gov auction. No batteries.
Balance of Systems Unit (BOS)

Thoughts that come to mind:
Outback products are top drawer
This seems to be a 24 Volt battetry system, my cheapish solar charger
has set battery parameters: flooded LA, Gel LA, but also a user
selection that can be set for whatever such as LiFePO4 or any other
chemistry if the user knows what they want. I would assume the Outback
has a similar feature but I haven't found it yet. I am collecting
LiFePO4 Headway 38120 cells when good deals come along. AlarmHookUp
seems to be a good source of batteries, but not totally risk free.

Shipping would be a very significant cost. What general origin location
would these BOSes ship from? I'm in Kalifornia, Usa.
