Also consider the large industrial batteries such as the Trojan
Industrial 2 v models, HUPs, IBE, etc.
They have longer cycle life, and therefore are a better deal in the long
run. Batteries are the weak link in off grid systems, so you want to
really make sure you're getting the right battery, and the right size as
well.
AGMs are great for GT, but not cost effective for larger off grid systems.
Also reread previous threads on batteries, not everyone has been happy
with the choices you list.

We don't do a lot of off-grid systems so I am short on
experience with battery systems. I have a 8KW Radian system
for which I am considering Rolls Surrette or Outback 200RE AGM
batteries. I know people like the Surrettes, what is the
experience with the outback battery system?
