<p><font size="4">Thanks to everyone for comments and observations.
I'd like to use Midnite AOI on this one. It will probably be my
last install given the utility policies and my refusal to do any
more unnecessary utility side connections because our company
president is from Vermont Electric Coop and is a regulatory and
technical dinosaur. Small state, small island, small minds, big
egos, AWOL regulators. Why did we invest is smart meters if
they are not leveraged? </font></p>

Sorry about the recent problem with support.<br>
MidNite recently got a new (supposedly better of course) IT and
phone system. That system still has some glitches<br>
which is part of the phone support but should work OK during the
day or maybe all the time now ?<br>
<br>
Remember that you can always email <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="mailto:support@midnitesolar.com" moz-do-not-send="true">support@midnitesolar.com</a><br>
<br>
support@mid<b>NIGHT</b>solar.com should work in most cases but not
always. Good thing would be to spell NIGHT as <b>NITE </b>instead<br>
if you can to make sure the email goes to where it is supposed to
go.<br>
<br>
As for the AIO, yes it is made in China. You are not going to
find a Made in USA AIO for any reasonable price. <br>
China is getting very good at this stuff. Too good. Look at
Sol-Ark. They have done very well by partnering with Deye.<br>
Looking like the AIO ONE from MidNite is less expensive and just
as reliable.<br>
<br>
The AIO is made by an experienced manufacturer in China but is new
to the US market, as are a lot of Chinese AIO inverter<br>
manufacturers. But even this company needed help with the
implementation of some battery inter-workings (closed loop)<br>
and 120/240 VAC and stacking. Also other software to be able to
be used here.<br>
<br>
I know we all love SMA but we wish they would have catered more to
the US on the Sunny Island by making a 120/240 version<br>
instead of having to use big and expensive auto-formers.<br>
<br>
MidNite would like to concentrate on products that are able to be
made in Arlington Washington like the Rosie and Little Rosie.<br>
But some things are best left to the Chinese for manufacture. AIO
is most likely the best thing that they do in our industry but<br>
not without some help along the way. It's amazing how fast they
respond to requests and changes for MidNite.<br>
<br>
P.S. We are all getting older. Don't be afraid to see your Dr.
once in a while to help us get even older !<br>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I have a one week old information request into
Midnite regarding the MN 15-12KW-AIO, but no response
yet.</p>
<p>Has anyone have information on how it is performing
during its early production phase, and does anyone
have information on when it will be available.</p>
<p>It is either them or SolArk at this point and I would
prefer Midnite for made in America reasons. </p>
<p>Thank you, Chris</p>
