[RE-wrenches] SMA String inverters

[Dave Tedeyan]

We also stopped using the -41's in 2023 due to the -SB requirement in NY.
We moved to Enphase for grid tied systems. I am hearing from Greentech that
the new Sunny Boy units, up to 7.7kw, should be available very soon. These
will have a secure power supply capability. But the larger KW units and the
better backup options will not be available until likely this summer. Its
been tough for string inverters here recently, but I am hoping these new
Sunny Boy's are good.

Cheers,
Dave
