[RE-wrenches] Low voltage DC v. higher voltage DC

Fri Sep 21 13:33:11 EDT 2018

What about Canada and Mexico and others that need split phase? I have
never thought of using anything but Outback or Schneider because they have
been building equipment for this hemisphere for decades :) And everywhere
else also!

Drake - you are completely correct on the lost sales and two
x SI not being price competitive until the size gets pretty large. It is
simply a corporate decision on how much work would need to be done to
completely redesign a very good product and make sure it meets the same
performance and reliability standards as the original. Is that cost likely
to be re-couped in a reasonable amount of time, based on an estimate of
increased sales. And again, that is just the -US model, the MOW model is
two generations ahead already, with no need for unbalanced output in a
single unit.

That being said, SMA
is loosing a lot of sales by not having a split phase Sunny Island on the
market. It would be my unit of choice for many application that I have gone
with other brands. The price of a pair of SIs is often just not
competitive.

 Tump - You are right about the large number
of times that has been asked, and I wish I had a happy answer.

 However,
with all the work on Sunny Boy Storage and Sunny Central Storage (and even
a Tripower storage), resources to develop and test a split phase Sunny
Island are not available. There is active work on updating the
communications to support SMAâEUR(tm)s Ethernet based communications.
Still, this may be months out.

 With the Smartformer being discontinued,
the MidNite MNX-240 is the recommended part to create 240 split phase from
one Sunny Island.
