[RE-wrenches] BP HI / Namaka with Sol-ark inverters

[Howie Michaelson]

Hi,
I'd also be interested to hear people's general experience with the Namaka
interface, and how it behaves with an XW Pro. I have a couple of BI 2.0
installations, and generally like them, but they seem to be a the pricier
end of LiFePO4 batteries, and it sounds like there are lots of others out
there that are high quality and may be somewhat more affordable,
specifically Discover AES and Fortress. I'd be very interested to hear
about experience with any LiFePO4 batteries, and also specifically in
off-grid situations.  I don't have enough clients that are ready to spring
for the expense to be able to build up my own experience with the rapidly
expanding options, and I'd rather not spend the money necessary to replace
a set of Lithium batteries that don't meet expectations...
Thanks,
Howie
