[RE-wrenches] LiFePO4; WAS Availability of Powerwall Batteries

[Starlight Solar Power Systems]

Hi Allan,

I would like to challenge the use of the term "locally manufactured". Mccune Solar Works does not manufacture lithium batteries. They purchase battery cells from China and package other third party components like EMS and relays to make a lithium battery  system. Very similar to what we do except our LFMP battery package EMS and CPU is designed by the manufacturer exclusively for GBS batteries. Perhaps a better term would be LFP battery dealer or integrator.

Wrenches,
A longtime off grid friend of mine, with whom both I and Positive Energy have collaborated on difficult installations over the years, just purchased a 24V 230AH, 120 lb. LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery bank that is locally manufactured in Albuquerque. It's still too small and too expensive to run his entire home, so he has devised a battery switching system and is keeping his older FLAs in operation while he tests these and affords more strings. So far he's quite pleased with the performance, but there's not yet a track record for his set.

So I want to pass on this low-key manufacturer: Chuck McCune, McCune Industries, http://www.mccunesolarworks.com <http://www.mccunesolarworks.com/>, (866) 622-8630. I believe that a legal Non-Disclosure Agreement is necessary to get the real info.

Contact me off list if you'd like to speak with my friend with the new set. I believe that he has set up as a regional dealer. 
Allan
