<div dir="ltr">I haven't used one personally but I know they use cells from the former Sony plant which are high quality. Their BMS (they call it a BMU) seems pretty advanced too. They only make 48V systems so you can't retrofit them into a 24V system and they don't (currently) communicate with any of the inverter manufactures monitoring.</div>
