Would a comparison between Powerwall 2 and the Enphase battery options be a video that you guys can make?

What's the status of the PW2 given the new PW3 isn't AC Coupled while the older PW2 is? I want the LFP chemistry and since I have 31 PV panels (12.5 kWh) with 31 Enphase IQ8A Inverters. Now my installer only offers two choices, the Tesla PW2 with the NMC chemistry and the Enphase 5P with LFP. On paper, the older PW2 is the best bang for the buck but its future and chemistry hold me back. With the available credits/rebates in Illinois, I can get 2 PW2s installed for $3500 LESS than 3 Enphase 5Ps. Could there be a NEW AC-coupled PW3 just around the corner? Should I be fearful of the older NMC chemistry aka FIRES? See my dilemma?

While I'm in the US your video and explanation are brilliant and will use it when trying to educate my Neanderthal neighbors.

Where do you get your information? Because you're wrong about the powerwall not starting to charge from solar during a blackout when flat...some people live off-grid with the powerwall and it works just fine.
From Tesla about during a blackout;
"If Powerwall has less than 10% energy remaining, it will enter a standby state and stop providing power to your home. If your system is connected to the internet, you'll receive a push notification in the Tesla mobile app when Powerwall enters standby.

When in standby, and paired with a solar energy system, Powerwall will automatically attempt to recharge from solar every hour between 8 AM and 4 PM local time. If enough solar is available to charge Powerwall while still powering your home, this automatic charging will continue. Should the remaining energy decrease by more than 2.5%, Powerwall will become inactive and wait for the next hour to attempt charging again."

Hi, would a system of 2x10.3kW REC solar panels and 3Tesla Powerwall 3s (41kWh) provide most of my 18kW max. daytime power demand? 10kW max. in the evening? Would I need more solar panels and a 4th Powerwall 3?

How many solar panels to power 2 x powerwall 2s
