I don't see any mention of that controller being suitable for a lithium battery system. Did I miss something?

Wow, only $196K?! I'll take 5 ... , you think they accept checks?

;)

Seriously though, at 12v, that's only 2x the size of a Powerwall, which sells for $3600 ... I must be missing something.
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing to keep it interesting!
