Specs that actually change the score

Chemistry: prefer LiFePO4 over NMC for decade-long ownership.

Usable Wh: brochure capacity is not discharge capacity under AC load — see How we test and How to size a power station.

Solar: Voc, connector, and station input watts must match. Start with foldable panel rankings.
