I first became aware of the BYD when I had my 'LG only kinda/sorta works' with the SMA storage inverter debacle.
Not many making a high voltage battery now and shockingly to me, seems that 48V has kind of won the "beta/vhs" battle for now. Maybe the new SolarEdge Nexis ESS and inverter tips this again, but to answer your question, didn't find BYD from any "major" distributors during a cursory look. We did just install the latest SMA inverter and we liked it...I'm a sucker for SMA string inverters and we enjoyed using the SunSpec functionality which provides great value.

I thought I’d run it by everyone. My searches came up empty so I’m guessing it’s vapor ware? thanks jay Have you ever seen this battery and do you know anyone who sells them? I have a customer looking for one or two and they are the approved battery for the new SMA smart inverters ( or so my customer told me) [https://www.ecodirect.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BYD-BATTERY-BOX-HVL-12.0-2T.jpg]<https://www.ecodirect.com/BYD-12-0-kWh-Premium-HVL-Home-Batteries-p/byd-battery-box-hvl-12.0.htm> BYD 12.0 kWh Premium HVL Home Batteries - 3 Modules | Battery-Box HVL 12.0 - EcoDirect<https://www.ecodirect.com/BYD-12-0-kWh-Premium-HVL-Home-Batteries-p/byd-battery-box-hvl-12.0.htm> Warranty: 10 Years Stock Status: (Out of Stock) Availability: This item has an indefinite lead time, due to import complications.
