I am expanding my small battery backup system and purchased a no-frille LiTime 12v 230ah (200A BMS) LFP battery off Amazon for $469. That's almost 3kwh of storage.
I also ordered two additional Newpowa 100w solar panels for $55/ea (Amazon had a $46 discount off the two-pack)
I already have an MPPT controller and a 2000w inverter. But for a bit over $1000, a very robust solar backup system is now possible. For comparison a portable solar generator of similar specs would be close to $3500, albeit in a tidy form factor.
Stuff is getting pretty dang cheap.....
