This looks too good to be true!

I'm going to find out if this is a legit offer... I placed an order.

4 x Kaneka GSA-60 (Kaneka GSA-60) = $235.20

Hmm, now how do I get one or two of those to charge my 48v battery pack on my electric? 90v seems rather high as does 67v.

Perhaps the 72v bat pack would handle it fine on the Comuta

Any suggestions? Those are cheap enough that a rooftop set might have a reasonable payback period, I wonder where I can find a gray market line matcher so I can simply dump current in and just keep the array smaller than usage so no reverse metering BS. It would appear a pair of those arrays would get to the 120v required to dump back in efficiently.

Any ideas, I am tempted to buy one, the only cheaper ones aren't out yet that supposedly will run day and night on both visible & IR and are printed.
