I appreciate the engineering and time people are putting into these projects. I absolutely hate the way this article is portraying these people's work.
These are not "consumers who can't afford commercially produced powerwalls." These are people who could probably work professionally in the field if they're not already. These projects are not "a little research, invested time, and a little ingenuity," they are the culmination of years of experience and passion, along with extreme respect for the technology.
Don't get me wrong, I want people to do this. However, acting like people can safely dive in to high-energy electronics/electrical projects head-first is stupid.
