Adding our first Chinese Manufacturer

We have been debating alternatives to our European and American suppliers. And considering our initial experience there has been a lot of hesitation in trying something new.

We have enjoyed success with Schneider and Victron Energy. Outback Power gives us tremendous support. But at the price of entry they limit what we offer and who we can offer it to. Outback Power is the only one that manufactures exclusively in the United States.

I was looking at the places where all the Victron Inverters and Controllers were manufactured. You would think it would be manufactured in the Netherlands. To my greatest shock they are manufactured in China and India. The only thing manufactured in the Netherlands are the lithium batteries.

SMA of Germany the world’s largest manufacturer of inverters after saying they would not manufacture outside of Germany quietly started manufacturing in China.

Schneider Electric manufactures in China and any where they can be competitive.

We have been talking to a few and we have settled on a company that is very highly rated. They are a premier brand in Australia and the United Kingdom. Please welcome our newest partner
