What are the current cheapest ( LFP cells $/kWh ) (LFP BMS $/100A) (Grid tie inverter $/kW) (Solar panels $/W)
@CaddyProject would love to see those numbers from your tiny house build actually — that's exactly the comparison I'm trying to make right now. For my own tiny house I've been quoted some wildly...
