Even stranger is that is not who they told me was buying them out, it was another inverter manufacturer.
Big in the RV / Coach market. Seems like it was Dimensions or something like that. Unless they were just flipped? Every company with stockholders will become "tax dodgers", at least till we get the crippling taxes lowered to a reasonable rate. Even Burger King is moving, and it will continue till none are left.

I guess you'd want to right up until: "Another one bites the dust" (there's a song isn't there?) It's getting terribly lonely out there for a US made offgrid inverter.

The new owner, Sensata, touts its "integrity" and comes with a rep of moving jobs to China.
