    I work for a controller OEM that builds the brains for managing these systems. It’s cutting edge stuff.

      The part that controls/balances the discharge profiles, right? Because sodium batteries have a more non-linear discharge pattern.

        It is what controls when to inject back up power to shave peak power, the brains to know when to use the grid when it costs the least and then it knows when to balance the solar with the back up to shave peak power.

        Check us out at Ampra Grid. It’s not for residential use. Mainly for massive industrial use. Msrp of about 19,400$.

            Just the controller. We don’t supply or fabricate anything power wise. We just have the connector that does the brains of the power management. It talks through cellular.
