Amber rises from the bottom as the battery fills. Forty segments, 2.5% of the pack each.

Inside

Sixteen cells and one inverter.

Lithium iron phosphate cells wired as one 51.2 V pack. The inverter under them feeds the house panel.

On the wall

It lives on the garage wall.

29.5 in wide and 5.9 in deep, fed by one conduit from the panel. Rated NEMA 3R, so an outside wall works too.

Dimensions

Thinner than the stud wall it hangs on.

It needs 29.5 inches of wall and three feet of clear floor in front of it. At 282 lb, two installers lift it onto the bracket; if the wall cannot carry that, it stands on the floor.

  • Garage, utility room or an outside wall: the case is rated NEMA 3R.
  • Works from −4 °F to 122 °F.
  • No fan. It cools through the side vents and makes no noise.
