Some stuff not immediately clear from their website

A very rough estimate on their 9kW motor and 10kW generator "complete" setup is $30-35k

  • The 144VDC battery bank acts as the house bank
  • The 12V bank acts as a starting battery/capacitor to handle high-amp loads or for things (such as a bilge pump) connected directly to the battery and bypassing the 144V system
  • As of Oct 12, the Battery spec sheet on their website lists the wrong value for volume in L: this value should be multiplied by 10.
