No store we check sells it online; the maker lists where to buy or who installs it.
Pros
- UL 1741 listed, which helps with inspections on a permitted 120 V install
- Runs from solar alone when no battery is connected
- Pair two later for 120/240 V, up to six for more power
Cons
- 225 V MPPT ceiling limits strings to a few panels in series
- About 60 W idle draw is heavy for a small system
- Two-year warranty is short for an inverter
