[RE-wrenches] BYD battery 12kW

[scot.arey at solarcentex.com]

I first became aware of the BYD when I had my 'LG only kinda/sorta works' with the SMA storage inverter debacle.

Not many making a high voltage battery now and shockingly to me, seems that 48V has kind of won the "beta/vhs" battle for now. Maybe the new SolarEdge Nexis ESS and inverter tips this again, but to answer your question, didn't find BYD from any "major" distributors during a cursory look.

We did just install the latest SMA inverter and we liked it...I'm a sucker for SMA string inverters and we enjoyed using the SunSpec functionality which provides great value.

I had someone ask me about this battery for a new SMA smart inverter.

I thought I’d run it by everyone.  My searches came up empty so I’m guessing it’s vapor ware?

thanks

Have you ever seen this battery and do you know anyone who sells them?
I have a customer looking for one or two and they are the approved battery for the new SMA smart inverters ( or so my customer told me)
