If there ever was a battery for me, this would likely be it!HiApart from the aesthetics and having a single source manufacturer solution in one box, what's the benefit over something like a Victron Multiplus solution which effectively provides the same technical benefits when correctly specified and installed, with the added advantage of likely providing a more future-proofed scalable solution at a lower initial price?Just curious - Z"We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act, but a habit.

I'm a fan of Victron. That said, 3 points appear to favour Tesla:
1) Victron installer base is arguably more niche than Tesla
2) Tesla aftesales/ tech support is good.
3) App integration is market leading
Not sure if the Multiplus can match the disclosed specifications (charge/ discharge rate of 11.5 kWh as an example)? but if it can then it is definitely a viable alternative.- 10 x 400w LG BiFacial Panels + SE P505 Optimizers + SE 3680 HD Wave Inverter. SE London (Zone 2).

HiI believe their 48/10000 is rated for 8kW continuous at typical operating temperatures, peaking to 18kW for a supposedly decent time-span (minutes, not seconds!) and there are unit options both larger (eg 15/27kW) & smaller to suit individual requirements.What I do like is that their units can be fully operated & data/performance interrogated without access to on-line services, which is probably a decent thing when considering outages or suppliers not maintaining on-line services, ramping up costs of those services, or going bump ...HTH - Z"We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act, but a habit.

System 2 - 20 x 330W Jinko Panels + Enphase IQ7+ microinverters (Jan 2022) + Givenergy AC Coupled inverter + 2 * 8.2KWh Battery (May 2022) + Mitsubishi 7.1 KW and 2* Daikin 2.5 KW A2A Heat Pump0 -
Just one - took a full day to commission and this was a long time ago. Definitely not a plug and play solution but to ZE's point, highly customizable and good performance when done. Definitely worth hunting down an experienced installer.ispookie666 said:@Screwdriva not many victron installs around, have you had any experience?- 10 x 400w LG BiFacial Panels + SE P505 Optimizers + SE 3680 HD Wave Inverter.
