384 volt lithium-ion battery... for solar storage?

Say one of these 900lb LiFePO monsters was left in a basket on your doorstep one night:
Nominal Voltage: 384 VDC/110 Ah
input charge 20kw; 60 amp max
output 414-348 VDC
Is it a viable option as solar energy storage in a residential setting? Could it be? Should it be? Again, assuming the cost of the battery itself is zero or not far from it. Battery is new as well...

If you have the need for lots of power, and can find loads that will take 380 VDC battery bus (plus charging equipment, etc.) it can be used nicely.
HOWEVER--380 VDC from a large battery bank is also dangerous too. Shock, Arc Flash, etc. are things that somebody not trained and not have the right tools/protective gear (and locked rooms/buildings/etc.) can work support.
This was a being pushed for data centers 10 years ago or so... Not sure where the industry is at today.

I'd have to check it out. I know the native voltage of LiFePo4 is 3.2-2.6 volts, so it' string of cells to get to that high voltage.
I'd figure out if I could reduce it safely to 48v nominal strings and look at finding a BMS that would work for it and how many parallel strings would be acceptable.
Big questions...
- Assorted other systems, pieces and to many panels in the closet to not do more projects.
