   Good points, I want to clarify that ~$9874 is just the price of one powerwall alone. Add in electricians, wiring, permits and you’re looking at an additional $10k in install costs. Pila’s whole point is that it’s a plug and play solution with no install costs.

   Yup exactly, the battery can be easily setup to charge at night and discharge during the day. It can also charge while you have solar and discharge when you don’t.

   There is nothing that will make me throw something on Craigslist faster than a loud fan. We built the battery with the customer in mind. It has fans but they are larger, RPM controlled and measure all internal temps to keep the noise to a bare minimum.

   Right on! It’s a great product and insane value for all the features it provides.

   Look up most of those products and you can see that they aren’t meant to be used daily, kept charged at 100% etc.. This is a commercial energy product scaled down to a consumer level, not a camping battery with a shiny exterior.

   Also their apps are bad and don’t offer anything of value.

   Yeah I get that, this will last longer than a UPS. I’ve thrown away a few in the last couple years that broke. That’s the lead acid UPS vs. LFP chemistry at work.

   Wow that’s crazy! What fridge is that?
