Very Easy To Use & Comprehensive Solution For Off-Grid Locations

I particularly liked how it was easy to install; very intuitive for even novice users, such as myself! It really seemed like this should be something we take advantage of with solar already in place at my residence without having spent thousands upon millions building new infrastructure (the reason why we installed photovoltaics!). But there were some features/capabilities or limitations which could have been improved upon when incorporating these batteries into our overall system strategy - however, not nearly so significant or important enough as those issues mentioned above that would justify spending any more money than absolutely necessary on purchasing additional products from different manufacturers. I like how it can be installed in seconds, but also requires some technical knowledge to install properly. With this product we were able to provide power for our customers during peak hours without using expensive diesel generators.The only issue was with our solar panel installation, as they required more material than what their standard box would allow. We are currently working with Sonnen Batteries directly to resolve this issue by providing additional materials when needed.

Pros
  • Easy application
  • Installation is fairly simple if you're familiar installing panels.
  • The price point makes sense considering all components included within one unit vs buying separately elsewhere
Cons
  • Not quite sure about battery chemistry.
  • No way yet found through current model available here where lithium ion technology might make better use out of existing space
