I’d also look at Victron. They can close loop communicate with several battery systems, and my sources say they’ve also got an EV charger that works with their off-grid systems that can be programmed to charge the EV when you have excess solar.
Kienan Maxfield, who’s on the list, is distributing Victron products, and he knows the technology well.

I've never had an Outback system, going all the way back, that didn't puke prematurely and have issues. Discover AES and Schneider for the win. Once they are set up, they just work.

System is probably going to be open comm, as the system has outback equipment. That could change but probably not. Remote monitoring is required even though it is a site with people 24/7. So far fortress and home grid. Have been recommended to look at. Blue planet is just too expensive. And PS. Fortress says that you cannot add batteries after 1 year. This goes against everything I thought I understood about lithium. Any comments about why they say that? Do others say rhat?
