I was inspired when i first saw Tesla's "PowerWall" Using custom battery banks made of 18650 cells, charged by solar, to power your home and save on bills. So I spent 1 strait week designing my own take on their innovative creation. Now keep in mind the battery packs I have designed are to suit my needs ( 4 packs to make 14.4 V each made of 130 cells in parallel for a total capacity of 1,146 Wh or about 1 KWh for a grand total of 4 KWh's of stored energy) And you can easily redesign them to meet your needs.
