The charge controller is a Victron 100/20. Really nice and high quality controller for a 48v or 24 or 12v system. Maxes out around 1200 watts of solar.
Victron Phoenix Inverter 48/1200 is the inverter unit. 3 years of daily use with never an issue, it is pretty amazing for a 48V based system.
Nissan Leaf batteries and BMS systems can be found as kits online, you can search around. The nominal 48V platform seems ideal for this chemistry and design...
That said, we have since replaced the Nissan Leaf batteries with the EG4 5.12kwh LiFEP04 battery from Signature Solar. It feels a little safer and has been more stable over the last little while.
