Pros
  • Cuts idle draw to under 25 W in power-saving mode, so it wastes less battery overnight
  • 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
Cons
  • 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
