    Adventures in poor planning, spiteful engineering and emotional math.

    If you are really serious about fire protection in that closet, rip everything out and install 2 layers of fire-rated drywall everywhere. Tape and mud the first layer, then offset the seams of the second layer over the first layer, and tape and mud that too. ALL penetrations need to be sealed...

    24v Bank Dead - upgrade to 24v LiFe or scrap system for 48v - WANTED recommendations

    I don't know why you think this. There is no reason one can't keep adding batteries to a 24 volt system, same as a 48 volt system. I have 800ah of 24 volt batteries and have no reservations adding more if I need to.

    24v Bank Dead - upgrade to 24v LiFe or scrap system for 48v - WANTED recommendations

    4 of these will be around $2000 with the 5% discount, plus tax. On sale because they changed their name from AmpereTime to LiTime. They make other sizes, but these are the cheapest at 24 volt. https://www.litime.com/products/ampere-time-24v-100ah-2560wh-lithium-lifepo4-battery-built-in-100a-bms

    EG4 purchase

    I haven't had any issues with Signature Solar, but The EG4 brand/product line is too new for me to trust it yet.

    24v Bank Dead - upgrade to 24v LiFe or scrap system for 48v - WANTED recommendations

    I'm happy with 24 volts. It does all we need - running a full size refrigerator full time and has enough spare capacity to run a space heater or window air conditioner.

    Bad storm came thru and powers out for 1/2 the county

    I don't brag, they can all see my solar panels. But, what exatly do you think they are going to do? Carry away your solar panels? Steal some electrons when you aren't looking? Maybe stop by and ask if you can help them get some panels of their own? Most of my neighbors have generators...

    Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    And this is all just speculation since you have no idea what arrangement Midnite has with this manufacturer. I'll defer to the president of the company.
