Yes. Xantrex, Outback and Apollo, but I think Apollo is shipping as of last
week. For instance we have bought all the Xantrex, OutBack and Apollo Charge
Controllers we could find, because of the long lead times from The
Manufacturers.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Equipment shortages, long lead times?
Is anyone else starting to see a few equipment shortages and/or long to very
long lead times on equipment, especially inverters and other BOS items?
Xantrex has always been famous for that, but we are also seeing it in a few
other areas, such as Fronius. So far, panels still seem to be in vast
oversupply. Many, but not all, of the shortages seem to be for items mfg'd
in China so far. We even got hit with an 8-10 week backorder on a common
Square-D pressure switch.
