I'll be getting 4 Lion Energy Lithium 100Ah batteries for the setup but found them $300 cheaper. Waiting to see if they'll match the price.

Thank you for the information. Curious, did you diy the install? Can you post a picture on your panel placement. How much were the Lion Energy batteries and where did you buy them from?

That’s the plan. We take delivery in a few weeks and install of solar and composting toilet are priorities.

Thank you sir, I appreciate the info. I like your setup, but I’m also pricing a system from a company in Flagstaff.
