Congratulations nikodunk. Kits like these are, IMO, pretty important steps along the way. First, they're accessible. People get their feet wet, learn. Since the technology is improving, it can be a rewarding "hobby" project. Every few years there will be upgrades available and prices will improve. A $500 kit has to be simple. That's a great environment for innovative contributions. Innovation & cultural change happen slower if the only Tesla, Samsung, power companies and other giants are playing. Remember that the web, and most of its innovations did not happen @ google or facebook. They were originated by many small players, and later collected into those big companies. Good luck to you. If you can establish a beachhead with this kit, you should have backwind to help you going forward. Batteries are the limiting factor, and they're improving.
