So one of our battery systems could be rated in terms of maximum instantaneous discharge, lets see: 20,000 amps x 48 v is almost a full Mw.. Wow, now I can say I installed over 100 MwI like this new fuzzy math.. It was such a bummer before to tell the customer looking at a ton of

Marco, You are right on with your observation.  It is extremely frustrating when "industry experts" in a technical industry use the wrong technical terms. rant ON Another example; the improper use of "panel" when the intended meaning is "module".  Check 690.2 for the definitions.  Just wait
