I definitely think you are on the right track. I think the best system for people right now is a smaller home battery (15-20 kWh), a small solar system (5+ kW), a bi-directional charger for the EV, and a small generator to have for emergency. Right now almost everyone is pushed to have a large version of one of these, but the new systems make it super easy to have a much lower cost mix.Thanks for that reply. I actually work for an electrical contractor, and we specialize in backup power systems - Several ESS battery manufacturers as well as Generac install and service. I have had several customers approach me about how to use the Lightning to extend their batteries in certain situations. This is a very helpful thread.
Currently the Franklin, Sigenergy (Pointguard), and Sol Ark are all capable of this I believe. EG4 and Ecoflow have systems that are pretty close, but don't have quite all the features yet.
