[RE-wrenches] Best LiPO Battery for Sol-Ark

[Chris Sparadeo]

Hi Jason,

Simpliphi AccESS taps out at a maximum of 22.8 kWh per unit. I really
appreciate the integrated bussing system on the AccESS (reminds me of what
Sonnen and BluePlanet have done), but if you are looking for higher storage
capacity, this is probably not the best solution. Although you could
install multiple units, at that point the price of 3 cabinets to achieve
60+ kWh would be much greater than incorporating either another closed loop
battery manufacturer OR installing numerous AmpliPHIs with a
battery combiner and avoiding the AccESS cabinet all together.

-Chris
