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!

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.

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.

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.
