[RE-wrenches] Sonnen Battery & Outback Radian Inverter

[Carl Adams]

Drake,

Pricing is for the package, for Eco 2-8  you get the Radian 4kW plus the
kWh batteries specified.  For the Eco 20 - 16 you get the Radian 8kE plus
the kWh batteries specified.  Here is a price sheet.  Installer cost would
be MSRP - 15% plus shipping.
Reading the link, I'm not sure what the following sentence refers to, the
price of the system or the batteries.



*"The batteries are priced at $10,000 for the 4 kWh model up to $24,000 for
the 16 kWh model." *Literally it says that the cost is $10K for 4 KWh
batteries. When compared to the $24K system cost for a system 4 times as
big, it would seem that they are referring to whole system costs with the
same equipment but more batteries.

They wouldn't sell 4 times as many batteries for 2.4 times the cost (would
they)?

If it is 4 kWh of batteries alone for $10K, that wouldn't be much of a
deal, even if they did last 10 years. We are doing *far* better than that
with AGM, which should last 7 years. If it is for the entire system, it
might start looking competitive.

Enclosed is a photo of what appears to be a test/lab Sonnen system

Can plainly see the 8kW Outback Radian inverter and I assume four 12V
Sonnen (Sony?) 8kWh Lithium-Ion batteries. Assume this is a "standard" 48V
Radian inverter.

Yes, correct on both. The generator support is there, I did not use it.

Chris,

Nice finish on the Sonnen install.  It looks fabulous.  My understanding is
the Eco 2-8 integrate the 4kW radian, and the 10-16 incorporates the 8kW
radian.  I assume generator support is fully supported

I promised a picture of the Sonnen installation. As these units are getting
close to being appliances in the same vein as home audio, we wanted to have
a clean finish so we made some mill work to complete the top of the unit to
the ceiling and hide the ugly conduits.
