Additional things to note about BYD Battery-Box?
BYD sells the battery only: you need a compatible hybrid inverter, so system price and monitoring quality depend entirely on that pairing. There is no BYD consumer app, and backup behaviour is governed by the inverter, which confuses comparison shopping.
