[RE-wrenches] Sonnen Battery & Outback Radian Inverter

[Roland - RES]

FYI that's a showroom unit with none of their internal wiring, and dummy inverter and batteries to keep it light. An actual unit has a tremendous amount of factory wiring between contractors, 200a auto transfer switch CT's and sensors along with a powder coated steel door in place of plexiglass. The Batteries are manufactured by Sony, they come in 48V 2kWh blocks that get paralleled together.
