Solar array size that refills the battery from empty in one average day, before the home uses any of it (NLR PVWatts v8, 20° south roof).
About 9 hours at an average 1 kW load from a full charge (9 kWh usable); higher loads shorten it.
Can the TSB be installed outdoors?
Installation location per the datasheet: indoor/outdoor.
What warranty does the TSB have?
11 years (datasheet).
