    Probably right up to the point some of the batteries explode due to the dissimilar nature of all the different packs/modules.

    When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.

    When you get a mango, four cherries and a lime, you make... something else. I think the point here is that we see what can be made out of what he's got lined up there.

    Self rigged? Or using the Japanese adapter for house backup from a Prime and with a Prime?

    This whole thread is based on self rigged. Like someone taking a big bunch of Panasonic batteries out of many different Toyota's and making a UPS somehow and not even having the computer that monitors the 1 car battery pack functioning.

    As to solar feed in, no technical reason it can’t be done with the right know how and equipment (including battery management hardware/software, inverter(s), and a proper gateway that includes the ability to automatically switch off from the grid when it goes down).
