September 7, 20224 yr Pylontech has some newer generation batteries out. Most people probably know the 'U' series batteries, but there is also the slightly newer 'Force' series batteries. See e.g. here https://www.zerohomebills.com/product/pylontech-force-l2-7kw-lithium-solar-panel-battery-storage/ It looks to me like the Force series is internally the same as the 'U' series... but they come in a more attractive stackable housing. But then there is also the Pylontech 'Pelio' series. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/05/11/smarter-e-products-new-residential-battery-from-pylontech/ I can't find all that much info, but it seems Pelio isn't just a re-packaging of the U series... there's an (overlong, corny) launch video from China on Youtube that says energy density is 60% up from the Force (U-in-disguise) series. Anyone know more? I wonder when the Pelios will start hitting the UK market. Hope they keep on being good value.
December 30, 20223 yr The Force batteries might be stackable but don't appear to have very good charge/discharge rates. 60A (which is less than 3kW) for 14kW is pretty poor. That said, I agree that the Pelio series look interesting as these are stackable, have slightly higher capacity than the US5000 and quote 5kW per battery vs. 3.8kW.
