Hi there, we've been recommended Blue Ion batteries for our solar setup. Anyone using them? If so, any feedback would be great.
Thanks!

Thanks!

they are in your neck of the woods so local is good. They use a lithium iron cel similar to the ones used in most of the better lithium systems. You are buying a pretty high end battery with cool case, mounting system, power rails etc. For a comparison simpliphi is a less high end product with near identical cels but less packaging... price per watt is a fair bit lower...
