Here's a quote I got for a solar install in the Philippines this week:
51.2v 314ah cells (15kwh battery) 16x 580-590w solar panel
Installed for 310k PHP = $5,275
I've also specced out 15-16kwh batteries using the Yxiang design for around the price of your Solix. The problem in the US is regulatory and a particularly predatory tradesman market at the moment.
Is that "regulatory" the problem or is it the solution? We'll know more 20 years from now, looking back at fire incident statistics.
(yes, I'm leaving it open if regulation makes a difference or not - for all we know it could even make a negative difference, helping companies that are better at regulation than at safety. But if I had to bet, I know where my money would be)
