So for the past year or so I have research the Sol-Ark and it's relative, Sunsynk. From everything I read they are based on a class of DEYE inverters, essentially a rebranding with exclusive licensing since they are not sold/available in each other's countries. After many months of research and trying to import a Sunsynk (due to being 30% cheaper) I decided to purchase a Sol-Ark 12k 6 months ago and have been impressed by the performance.
Today I learned that there is a distributor in the US for the DEYE version at almost 50% cheaper than the Sol-Ark, it is basically in line with pricing of the Sunsynk (which is only available in SA). $3500

Specs are similar to the Sol-Ark 8kw, in addition they also offer a smaller version, 5kw for $2900.
Here is the manual for the 7.6 & 5kw.
In short if these were available at the time I ordered mine I would be going with these instead.
