Since the rack mounted batteries seem to be the only option currently (and are more space efficient in my situation), I've been looking at how such a system would look in case I wanted to scale out to 2 stacks of up to 8 batteries.  This would require one or two of the MN combiner boxes and a LOT of heavy cables to feed all this to The One inverter.  Does anyone have photos of such a setup?  I'm trying to envision the cable management in either a pair of stacks, or a 48U server rack cabinet.

If you just have a single inverter, say a 250A load, you could use the 14 position mnlbc enclosure that will give you 14 pairs of 2awg bare wire terminals and then 5/16 lugs to go to inverter, for around $250. Solamp.io has them on sale. So you'd have dedicated runs from each battery to the mnlbc.

Now that's a lot of potential fault current so I'd put an mnedc 250 breaker between the combiner and the inverter. There is a version with a 300A breaker but it only has 10 sets of lugs.

Doesnt make sense to go to an mnbc 500/1000/2000 for a single 12k aio imo.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I had worked out... I would just like to see what it looks like in practice.  I'm inclined to the 10 lug combiner with breaker, which would support two stacks of 5 batteries for a total 50kW.  I would probably start with one stack and then expand to a second in a year or three (after building out the solar array further).

The One has a battery breaker built-in, no?
