Hi Lou and all. We dove all in and got a Vision Engraving machine. They offer several models and the most basic version works just fine. It was a big investment but we can make our own placatds in the same day. We have a dedicated cheap laptop and a vacuum attachment they sell which keeps the work

Re: [RE-wrenches] Will SolarEdge optimizers work with other string inverters?
