#6This is freqently, dangerously, wrong- and is missing critical information.
I saw no discussion of: * C rate * fuse selection * inverter precharge (capacitive loads) * cell level monitoring not all batteries are series compatible. * fail modes
But, in a sentence: No more than 100Ah and 12v for your first build.
Theres a million more things- like terminal preperation, torque specs, fire precations.

It sounds reasonable to me. I priced out a DIY setup when I bought my house a few months ago, and I came up with ~$6000. I priced new panels and what I would consider more reliable batteries which accounts for the cost difference.

No, the fine print says: “Planets only. Minor planets and planetoids are not included but can be added for additional charge.”
