Ben is going Solar!

The batteries I am using are about 100 AH.
I have two more groups of four batteries that I can add in parallel strings to increase the capacity of the system.

One issue that I still have is that my garage is NOT climate controlled. As the UPS is basically computer equipment, I have concerns about temperature and humidity. I hope to rebuild my garage next summer, as a nice, insulated (possibly passive heated) building.

I don't have room in my house for batteries, or solar access for PV panels - it has to be in my garage.

Do I design some sort of climate-controlled enclosure for the UPS and batteries?
