Nice!!
I’m interested in your battery setup.
How many amp is the BMS?
Also, any concerns with low temp?
That is what is holding me up on choosing a battery option. It gets below freezing here and I don’t want to destroy batteries by charging or using below the acceptable temp range.

Check out Battle Born’s newest line—they have battery heaters built in. They also are offering an aftermarket heater-wrap that can go on any battery—similar to a water tank heater. I picked up a 100ah Amazon special lithium battery for 500 bucks and one of the battery warmers, for a total of about 700–for a 100ah, zero stress, zero maintenance lithium setup, it’s not bad at all.

Temp certainly a concern but size weight etc outweighed. I have an existing battery drawer that is outside the thermal envelope and if I put it in there will insulate and then put a tank heater under it (they’re thermostatically controlled - pretty easy. Also ran across a battery compartment radiator / hydronic option.
Each of the BMS are 250a. BTW these batteries worked out to under $2k for 560AH so that swayed me too. They’re built with grade A EVE cells that are matched. I’m no electric pro (in fact looking for someone in the Midwest to assist with integration..: planning for 1400 watts solar to accompany this battery.

How do you like the windows ? I'm considering Tonga windows but Maygood are around for a while. Do you recommend them or would use them again ?
Can’t wait to put in the new awning style windows. Direct from Maygood via Alibaba. Great customer service.
