- Charges at up to 120 A from solar and grid together, refilling a 48 V bank quickly
- Closed-loop BMS communication with compatible lithium batteries
- 145 V solar limit means short strings of panels and heavier PV wiring
- No UL 1741 listing stated, which some inspectors require
- App monitoring needs the BT-2 Bluetooth module, sold separately; one-year prorated warranty
