Powerwall voltages

Been wondering...

With home batteries, think of the Tesla powerwall, does anyone know what the operating voltage of the battery is? I'm guessing but I'd think the solar panels would come into the battery at around 300-400 Vdc. When power is demanded from the battery, the power from the cells has to be inverted. Does anyone know what the inversion voltage is? I can't see it being a 48Vdc inverter.

System one: 7kWp w/ Trina 250 W panels @90 Vdc. Classic 150 to 16-6 V U.S batteries. Trace 5548 sine wave inverter.
System two: 6kWp grid tie with solaredge inverter.
System three: Midnite Brat, two 120 W Astropower modules, 100 Ah battery. Runs the LED streetlight in the back yard.

I am told but someone in the know that the Power Wall +  internal battery voltage is actually 48V

Surprised me.  I would LOVE to see a teardown of that to verify !

I saw a video on the 'ol YouTube about a tear down of one.

Not enough detail to be absolutely certain but it does appear to be a 48ish volt system.
Thanks,

Classic 250, 3s2p Trina Solar 405watt, 8 Renogy 200ah for 48V 400ah, Magnasine 4448 inverter.

Yes, I saw that one a while back.

But I don't think there was an inverter in that battery pack.  Just a BMS ?   This may have been a powerwall battery only that was supposed to be used with one of the approved inverters like the Solar Edge ?

The one I want to see inside is the newer Powerwall Plus I think it is called ?
