    Timeline/plans for Outback products

    I elected to start a new thread, so people don't miss it if they were not in on the first round.

    Confusion regarding SMA product

    I'm hoping one of the forum members who is familiar with SMA can clarify what the intent might be for the SMA storage unit with autotransformer. I read some posts from Hedges on this topic, but in the end am still confused. I understand the role of the Sunny Island and Sunny Boy. When it...

    Newbie comment on rant

    I've been reading/watching Wills' videos since he started. Some good material in there. But I'm really glad he made the video he calls the "rant" It is way overdue. Frankly, I've been saying this for many years while I've watched our competitive edge being taken away by people with more...
