Oh wow that sounds like a great way to convince the wife to let me have that homelab :-) By any chance you have any links to share for my research?

This one’s pretty popular: https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-lifepower4-lithium-battery-48...

And is made to work well with this kind of inverter: https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-6-5k-off-grid-inverter-6500ex...

(They have a smaller 3 kw inverter for about half the price)

Check out diysolar forum. Google it. Lots of very good information.

Seconding this, Will’s channel and forum are excellent.

Here's a nice overview of setting up a 30 kwh battery and inverters to charge/use them: https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/48v-complete-system-bluepr...
