<br>SMA experienced some manufacturing issues (component shortage) with the SB3000TL, SB4000TL,
and SB5000TL.  We have had them on backorder since October, and so have
may other distributors.  You will find attached the letter SMA sent to its
distributors informing them of the delay.<br><br></span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">In general, we are very pleased with the versatility, reliability, and efficiency of this inverter and have no plans to stop installing them. <br>
<br></span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">We have found other local distributors that have a stock of them, here in Austin.<br><br></span><br>
