The project is hybrid, the house has utility power at the moment. I was looking for feedback on the product, I haven't heard comments on the Outback RE battery system. In the end I recommended a single string of TROJAN, IND9-6V. We will revert to grid at 80% DOD. The house is tropical, high in the mountains and doesn't use a lot of power.
