The name of a reputable dealer for them in the US would be nice...
:D Ich bin Deutscher und lebe in Deutschland.
Wish I could help but here's my experience: The dealer where I got my components from, offered an initial conversation for about 50 Euros. Just to find out if my application and his products were a good fit.
I guess that was a filter for the kind of person that just steals your time and never had the intention to buy anything.
Turns out, he made the best recommendations, based upon my parameters.
I paid cash up front. When, after 3 months nothing had been delivered I got nervous. I mailed him about a half dozen times and talked to him on the phone a couple of times. That didn't help much, no concrete delivery time to be had.
Long story short, one day I'm informed that a pallet is gong to be delivered to my house. Lo and behold, it's the battery!
Had all this semi-relevant shit written up and it was eaten by the internet... (Edit: Oh look, it's just below this post!)
Here's the gist of it. I'm German, so tough shit with US dealers.
Find a dealer you can trust. If possible, ask a friend just like if you were a woman and out to buy a used car. :)
Edit: The letter f
I kinda figured you were German, which is why I asked about US dealers and not dealers in general. As for asking a friend, there aren't many who have solar, and almost everyone doing solar in the US nowadays is using grid-tie and no batteries, or using Tesla batteries which are overpriced and require the cloud for management.
