Yeah, I checked wayback and didn't see him either. Maybe he was/is new and they didn't put him on there yet. What does his linked in profile say? I don't have an account and it won't let me see it.Not seeing him in any of the recent archives.

I agree, I have been trying to decide between Sol-Ark and EG4. Just the way the "VP" wrote that message makes me want to run from Sol-Ark.

Agree, I would guess someone can get an old firmware image and make it available to roll back the poison image.

Pretty creepy looking to me? All that paper means little to nothing, what matters is honesty, integrity, transparency and a willingness to do what's right by the customer even at expense to yourself / company...He looks good on paper. Why won't he talk to us anymore.
Other than that it's just a lot of Blah Blah Blah....

You guys have me worried now when ever I see a port or plug.
I have been looking at the MSB VS-125 because it had the capacity to talk to a cell phone app and show me whats going on.
I wanted cheap and limited functions now I worry about what else it might do?
What might it do?
What are these other things
Whats does this mean?
Built-in High-Performance DSP controller
Now I'm worried about the "Wifi Cloud Box"
Should I rethink and just go with the earlier versions that don't talk look at another cheap unit from Vevor?..
Vs-119 is not suitable for my use but the specs say this..
"The WiFi is between MPPT Controller and Android phones only, not for the internet or cloud connection."

FWIW, LLC's are typically comprised of active founders. When companies are structured as S or C corps, it is often to create shares to be sold off to investors who are hands-off, but provide an influx of cash. Certainly not always the case, but that's more or less what is typically seen.Those members can have various percentages of ownership. I'm curious as to how much of Sol-Ark is owned by whom. By curious, I mean barely curious, only for the sake of pointless arguing here on the forum.

I'm not sure, but I think we use to call that a racket? Hmmm?
I suppose if your gauge is set no higher than just follow the crowd and get the MONEY, that's one popular route! It would be easy to find oneself offering such investments to either the public, or to angel investors, if you never quite had enough and always wanted more because of your insatiable apatite to be adored by your peers?
In reality those invested often know less about the company than those customers who they provide either goods or services to know through their experience with the provider.
Because everyone is just chasing the shiny stuff on the hamster wheel of what we call success... Through many instruments and so called legal means of what was once considered fraud, to quick investments that flip gigantic profits so we can move on to the next speculation.
Have we all come to call this normal and that to which we each should subscribe
to as success? Or NOT?
I still must wonder and say hmmm? Is that what life is about, REALLY?
BIG PORTFOLIOS that lawyers and greedy people feed on after you are gone?
Or might true success be a simpler thing than we have ascribed to?
What would that look like to most I wonder?
PS, interesting how this active link showed up in my post when it was commented on? Something I know nothing about?

Ports and plugs aren't a big concern, except if it's an Ethernet port. The major issue is WiFi and Bluetooth connections that siphon off your data and/or leave your device open to external access without your explicit control.
A DSP is a good piece of tech. It's part of what manages the power output quality. Definitely a benefit, not a concern.
Yep, a "WiFi cloud box" is definitely a concern. Once it's connected to your WiFi, you don't know what data it's sending or who it's talking to, or even who has access to the device without your knowledge.
This should reduce your concern by a solid 1%.

What could go wrong...
Well we shall see thank you for the advice
Ready to push the send payment button.
I will make sure the VS125 can only talk to one android device.
Now I need a Samsung phone.
I believe that was designed and built by the Chrysler corporation.
No I am not kidding
You know people use DIY batteries and as far as I am aware Frontius or SMA hybrid onverters do not support the Seplos BMS so Deye was the way to go and the old Solis inverters.
So cheap and good is one way for Deye. or not ?

The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) is the single chip that is used to convert analog (i.e. Voltage, Current, Frequency etc) into a digital values (ones and zeros) that the Central Processor Unit (CPU) can use. The CPU functions based on the firmware and the DSP functions can also be programmed from the CPU once it is running the firmware. Most BMS also have a DSP, basically any device that needs to convert analog data such as a cell phone for voice and camera video/pictures will have a DSP. The single DSP is multiplexed, that is to say it is used to convert (one at a time) the various analog signals such a voltage, current and frequency to digital values. The CPU selects the from a variety of inputs, one at a time as is needed for conversion.
Technically, that's the ADC. The DSP needs digital inputs, the ADC sits in front of the DSP. The DSP is used to do signal processing (think e.g. audio or whatever, with specific DSP functions such as matrix multiplication, FFT, etc.) instead of the CPU since it's much faster at it.

SO its a thing - a - ma - jig lol
AH so its an A - D converter now your speaking my language..
I am from the age of the Z80 and 6800 so new acronyms are kind of confusing thank you....
So if I am correct in my assumption it uses a separate processor from the main for converting the inputs into a number and stores these in resisters to speed up reaction time of the system.
Saves the main process from doing this work, kind of like a separate video processors or a math co processor in days of yore...

An LLC is a flow-through tax organization. That means that profits are taxed proportionate to ownership stake, at regular income levels, including SET. Both S and C corps are NOT. They pay salaries, and then disburse dividends to shareholders.......if they so choose. In addition to a more typical lower tax bill to the owners, it also allows the companies to hold cash in reserve for investment, etc. That's not possible with an LLC.
Again, it is atypical for outside investors to have a stake in an LLC. They would be paying taxes on profits, while not receiving any sort of compensation. None of the startups I was involved with that sought outside investment remained organized as an LLC.

Yes it about In reality, investors often know less about a company than its customers, who gain insight through their direct experiences with the goods or services it provides.

You realize both Deye and SolArk are subsidiaries of Sunsync? You bought a chinese engineered and manufacturered piece of equipment too ya know. SolArk is just running sales on a white labelled product from Sunsync. The threat of shutting down a SolArk product in the future is still out there. Consumer protections should be in place to keep a company like this from being able to shut off power to people in the first place.... which they can do to you as well if they so choose

That's a position I haven't heard on this forum. Most say that Deye is the origin of these inverter, not SunSynk. Can you supply something that supports your statement.

Well, before he edited it he was saying that Deye and Sol-Ark are Subsidiaries of Synergy Power Corp.
Guess he saw this link and looked no further into the details.

Deye makes inverters for several companies. I’m sure if you placed an order large enough, you could label them “Oldphile”

You have been misinformed.
Deye is the OEM for many distributors.
Including (but not limited to) Sol-Ark and Sunsynk.

Wrong, both sunsynk and sol-ark are designed , engineered and build by dye, each running their own Gui..
And the shutdown is available on all solarman monitored and updated inverters
