Charging Batteries Outside

So there's plenty to say about adding more solar panels to my rooftop build. But summer really doesn't need a bunch of added solar panels since PV production is at it's highest. I will probably have more to say about how much solar and storage I have closer to winter.

This update is to say, while we still use lithium battery cells, we should probably be charging them outside. I've even heard that sodium ion cells also have a risk of shorting at the end of their cycle lifespan. So here's a picture of my outdoor enclosure I cobbled together. The batteries and inverter are in this same enclosure with electric lines coming in and going out:
