[RE-wrenches] Sol ark 120v issues

[Nick A Lucchese]

I agree with many of you on waiting awhile longer until these issues are sorted out. While I definitely think there is plenty of room beyond our usual favorites for another robust battery based inverter to offer I don’t intend to embark on another frustrating adventure at mostly my expense. At this point I’m more excited for the Midnite inverters more than anything and know once they’re released I won’t feel like I made a mistake. Meanwhile I’ll definitely be sending wishes of success to Sol-Ark. I’ve heard a lot of good things and will remain optimistic and hopeful it’s shortcomings will be resolved soon without needing to stack multiple units or a transformer.
