Was impressed only last night when I saw US5000's, Jings!
38kg seems to be "reasonable" too! I was expecting them to be 50kg!

3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)

Hopefully when our Pylontechs are gasping their last there will be an upgrade path for us old guys and the US5000's will play nice with the personal rebuilt US2000's!

The reason I wanted to orientate sideways was to maximise density in an outside steel bike shed. I've effectively got a 500mm high x 870mm wide 'gap' I could possible use to install the batteries in. (basically above the rear tyre of the 2 bicycles).

Due to the width limitation I cannot get two batteries side by side. If only it was 20mm wider........ :o

I am limited in this space to 5x US5000 (22.8kWh) or 6 x S3000C (21.3kWh) with only a 10mm air gap between the batteries, which I don't thing will be a problem as they are mounted vertically to air natural convection (compared to 25mm gap when mounted horizontally).


I think I'd have to 3d print some covers for the ports to keep out dust.
