How much of this is human-created?

This is freqently, dangerously, wrong- and is missing critical information. I saw no discussion of: * C rate * fuse selection * inverter precharge (capacitive loads) * cell level monitoring not all batteries are series compatible. * fail modes But, in a sentence: No more than 100Ah and 12v for your first build. Theres a million more things- like terminal preperation, torque specs, fire precations.

I would definitely burn the house down.

please disclose when you automatically attach referral codes/referrers to your links... I know you mention one explicitly in the page, but clicking on the ecodirect link redirects and inserts your blog as a referrer in the GET params without disclaiming.

They way that site automatically updates the hash, makes it super annoying to use the back button. Every section on the site changes it. User hostile.

I would highly recommend https://diysolarforum.com/ and Will Prowse on YouTube. Thats how I made my solar/battery system. And it passed city inspection.
