He’s elderly, a veteran, and a believer in solar power. But he’s been having battery problems (he’s got twelve 6V L16 types at present) and is interested in moving up to LFPs. He’s got an Outback VFX3524, FM60, MATE3S, Hub4 and the usual accoutrements. If he wants to go with LFPs, what are your suggestions – and also how might it integrate with his 3-year old inverter? I suspect he will be unwilling to spend a chunk of change on a new inverter.
