I still consider this a small setup - you can do much better for $20K - including a full Victron suite and GX/VRM monitoring, not just their BMV-712.
What I think this is going to do is cause a lot of people to be unhappy, because they think they're buying a comprehensive solution for a lot of money but in reality it doesn't power all that much.
My initial setup consisted of 2kW REC panels, 900AH (@12V, my system is actually 48V) of SimpliPhi LiFePO4, dual Victron Quattros w/ two Autotransformers, Victron Venus GX, and a pair of Victron Orions. All supporting components such as wiring and breakers were high quality and name brand - no expenses spared - and that cost a couple thousand less than they're asking, self installed.
The kicker is that even with that system, I wasn't happy and I've added panels, batteries, and more to get to that point.
