Here's the internals of the one we installed. https://www.dropbox.com/s/m0ie2tuqe7y1x9d/2016-06-15%2011.01.43.jpg?dl=0 It's a Radian, the batteries are Sony, there's a PLC in the door controlling everything, and a Vera Z-Wave controller for the programmable outlets. The BMS is on the door, connected by the long cable you see at the bottom. It's not really long enough, which I complained about. The transfer switch is a Generac component, very reliable unit, rated at 200A. There is a DIN rail next to the inverter that holds all the internal wiring, metering, external connections. One thing I would advocate, never try to make any connections with this unit powered up. It is very tight in there and the risk of touching a live terminal is high. There is a 200A main breaker and a battery breaker, which is software controlled for powering down from the front panel. Startup requires holding in a DC breaker for the electronics for a few seconds then engaging the main battery breaker. The instructions says five seconds but I find it takes about 15.
