Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

Pricing? Parallel capability?

13kw surge on single leg is way beyond what the sol-ark can do if I'm not mistaken?
yea pricing and parallel really matters here, but the rest of it looks fantastic.

So the 10k in the name is for continuous AC output not the PV input... Interesting. ?

Is this made in the USA?
That's how almost of them are named.. except like 2 EG4 ones? Not that interesting lol

Damn the big midnite breakers are big boys (60A in comparison)

Wired up the mnpv6 - used the cabling I had will clean out the splitters later.

yea and the midnight switches are very smooth in the breakers vs other ones. Pretty cool stuff
 
Idle consumption is about 65 watts. We are still working on pricing. Mainly on what the wholesale price will be. I am guessing street price will be between $4500 and $5500. We will be offering Lithium batteries also to insure compatible closed loop operation. The pricing on the 5.1KWH rack mounts will be truly jaw dropping. The wall mount 15KWH UL9540 version this summer hasn't been determined yet.
Inverters are due to start shipping in early May.
 
Looks like you got most of the questions answered here. I too do not know if you can use the two Victron negatives as common? Some units can and some can't. You woun't break anything regardless. Looks like those y cables are too short to allow stain reliefs?
MidNite has used CBI and Carling breakers now since 2000 (at OutBack Power). We ship almost 1 million breakers each year. They just do not fail! Chinese combiners have nice features and all, but do they have a UL listing? Some of the components as pointed out in this thread are questionable too. Listed components are actually important if you have a fire on your house. Insurance companies look for things like lack of listed equipment, inspections and such. They do not like to pay off on fires caused or that are involved with solar. They are terrible! Make sure to cover all bases. It took me years to figure out the combiner requirements and NEC acceptable products /installations. I recently took apart my original solar array from my Trace Engineering days. The combiner consisted of nothing but wire nuts!
