I'd love to see the price continue to come down, so more and more folks can get these products. Compared to the expensive install of a large battery systems, I'd call it a step in the right direction but I agree we need to make these even more accessible. Features like energy management and demand response can improve the economics in some markets, but low upfront cost is the ultimate goal. Most of my family in Louisiana are similarly not considering smarter backup systems seriously because of the cost and either "do nothing" in outages, rely on neighbors' generators, or have unreliable pull-start generators in their garage.

Yes, yes, and yes on offline performance! We're on it!
