    @RichardFromEG4 Is there any plans on making a 10/12 or 15k split phase unit that is stackable? It would be nice to have higher wattage units with a more robust surge capacity and split phase so you don't have to buy in pairs right out of the gate. Perhaps MPP can build your units with higher...

    Agree, I've worked with firmware engineers often. Well designed firmware and answering the phone does not justify jacking the price up so high. I think the solark should be priced closer to what EG4 is trying to come out of the gate with. Just my opinion..not trying to start a war.
