We've put in about 8 Litium Ion Phosphate systems in the last year, the problems were with the protection control systems. They were custom designed battery banks, the largest being 64Kwh with a 27 Kw solar system. We have used the Schneider inverters with good performance on most, problems that had to be worked through on some, with the battery banks, not the inverters. Were taking a hard look at the new Sony batteries. May use them on the next one. I too like the looks of the Simpliphi technology, but cost is a factor. will probably go with Gexpro Power IQ.....

I have the same questions as Jay, I would really like to see the real specs for the Tesla 2.0. 
Other questions I have:
-How will the Tesla 2.0 be installed in coordination with a PV system -  I can only assume any PV system would have to be AC coupled with the Tesla? 
-Does the Tesla inverter handle all grid-sell functionality and keep PV inverter online during outage? 
-How does this impact the SolarEdge Storedge system that was designed to work with the Gen 1 Tesla that didn't have an inverter? The Storedge factsheet does not match the new topology:  http://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/se_storedge_inverter_datasheet_na.pdf

Thanks for any insight!Rebekah

Don't ignore Sonnen, their ECO16 is a solid Lithium based solution. We installed one in Anguilla and, once we got through some software issues, the system performed solidly.

HI All,

I hesitate to bring this up, but I’ve had some questions come my way about the “new” Tesla 2.0
battery backup units. And with the demise of Aquion, looks like Lithium and LA are pretty much the only games in town.

I have been able to find quite little on line ( surprise), pretty much nothing from Tesla directly, but some from other folks by google search.

Does anyone on the list here know anything solid?
For example.
what inverter is being used?
how do they stack?
battery chemistry?
actual size ( depending on which info it changes)
are they actually shipping?


Thanks

jay
