Outback said at SPI today they have shipped more than a dozen. The Schneider mppt-80-600 starts at 180vdc BTW. Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ [1] e-mail offgridso...@sti.net [2] text 209 813 0060 On Tue, 25 Sep 2018 16:38:13

Hi Dave and All. Reasons for HV batteries off grid? 1) Smaller cable size (I just did an 18 Kw off grid with 4 SIs and the cable costs alone were in the order of $400) and increased flexibility locating batteries and inverter. 10 AWG plug and play. 2) Higher efficiencies. Easy

I do not see the need for high voltage battery systems offgrid. Neither does Schneider, Outback or Magnum. I was involved with electronic field testing with a 400vdc model (all in one) that was not released. There was not a significant market for it. The new Outback Skybox (all in one) is going

The SMA Sunny Storage looks promising. It will be able to work with the LGC RESU10 HV battery and, sooner rather than later I hope, BYD package as well. And it will allow for a backup generator tie in. Ta-dah! marco On Thursday, September 13, 2018, Bruce Erickson wrote: > Hi Marco, > > I
