The literature mentioned 30,000 hours life span. That is a boatload.

Eight hours a day, 356, is 2848 hours a year.

Honestly, if you do this right, you can go off the grid.

A good friend of mine works in China Lake, Ca but has a remote ranch in Kennedy Meadows in the Sierra's up Nine Mile Road then to the right a bit.

He has solar, wind, batts and a 10KW like you are looking at. That is it.

He has been at it 10 plus years and hasn't had any issues. Battery storage is a bit of a dark art he has gotten good at. He built a battery storage room under his house so the battery room temperature is constant.

Get smart on batteries and battery maintenance and care.
