[QUOTE="BallisticGuy, post: 4023153, member: 5930"] Is there any type of battery bank offered, or is a grid tie system only? If it does have a battery bank are the individual cells replaceable or is the entire bank worthless? I’m all for solar, I just have no faith in battery technology yet to spend a crazy amount. Most of the systems I have seen have a 10yr warranty on the battery bank with a 70% loss of storage capacity, and all I see is a 7-10k replacement in 12 years. The warranty, and how long the company will be around are two different things as there are a lot of these companies floating around. We use solar on small projects, and our travel travel with a 600ah battery bank, but nothing close to 6-10kw self sustaining systems. [/QUOTE]
