    and it’s only 5kwh, that is TINY, a standard home really wants 20kwh+ to soak up all that Spanish sun

    but credit where credit is due, if this is just the start then good stuff, keep going!

      It says right in the article that it supports having up to 20 of these batteries in parallel, which gives you much more than 20kwh.

        i guess it depends how big the units are, i have a 10kw sonnen evo and i could fit maybe 6 or 7 of the things in the garage but i’d lose half the space

        if you can fit 5 on top of each other that’d be great

      I wouldn’t worry about that. If they can design and build a 5 kWh home battery, they can design and build a 20 kWh home battery.

      Modular designs like this are actully smart for consumers - easier to replace just one unit if it fails, plus you can start small and add capacity as your budget allows instead of dropping €15k+ upfront.

      I know cost is a factor, but isn’t this the sort of thing where you can contact more than one?
