What's the worst that can happen?
I was watching this but got 4 growatt 3k inverters instead. I can add 2 more to go to 18k and not have a single point of failure. If it was stringable it might be a different story but it’s not.

Not at the moment. We are anxiously waiting for them to release as well.

Ships take awhile to travel the seas.
480Vdc solar input and only (2) mppts.... not a great solar input side of things. 35A pr mppt is nice but that lower voltage...
You really can only string 8S... So its nearly impossible to actually max out the PV (24,000w total
/ 12,000w per mppt). 12,000 (one mppt) / 2P = 6,000w / 8S = 750w panels!
With something like a 450w panel with ~10A rated output, you could technically do 3P, 8S which would be 24 x 450w = 10,800w.
I suppose something around 500w in a 3P, 8S config would do it as well, but personally I think they should have 3 mppts! They upped the useable solar power to 24,000, but dropped the amount of mppts...???
But realistically though, with only being able to push 12,000 to the batteries, I think it would be a waste to actually hook up 24,000w of solar! You would constantly be clipping, if you can't sell the excess!
@EG4TechSolutionsTeam you guys really should always be going to 600V input on any new products these days! From an installer standpoint, it is really nice to have that additional headroom! It really helps on the stringing options!

12000W can be charging your battery and the other 12000W can power your house at the same time. So the 24000W coming in is actually split.

Will posted a comment on the Signature Solar YouTube video that he’s been working on a video for the 12000XP. Hopefully soon, can’t wait. This inverter looks great, hopefully it tests well.

Thank you for your feedback! We will share this with our team!
Sounds good, thanks! I appreciate a company that is open to suggestions and feedback from "outsiders"! There is another company with similar products, that is not very open to suggestions and/or feedback... I won't mention names.
