Hi Kent, We have two 8 kW and four 12 kW installed in the Bahamas. We installed one in a bedroom closet about two months ago and the client is still happy. There are some relays and occasional hum but to my ears, they are less noisy than the XW+ and certainly no more than the Radian. The initial startup is the only real noise, with the startup fan being the loudest. We are really happy with these inverters so far. Their monitoring platform is still a work in progress IMHO and they are working on being able to control settings remotely like Optics RE. My next job is on Abaco with a 12 kW. They are eay to install, self contained and are an excellent match with LiFePo batteries. Be aware the 8 kW does not have a battery disconnect. The 12 kW does.
