[QUOTE="binky, post: 534651, member: 490"] SMA bought out a Chinese company to make cheaper gear for the Asian market. Simple fact is, the Chinese government allowed their manufacturers to dump cheap subsidised products on the European market about 8 years ago, and destroy the European suppliers. Whilst their gear has improved and is mostly OK, some of it does lack quality, but, at the prices they offer, it's hard to refuse it. My fave gear is Japanese or Korean panels ie Q Cells, although I think some of their production has been moved to China. Panasonic are excellent panels but expensive. You can still get German panels from Krannich solar. REC (Swedish) are good panels too. LG panels are immaculate, but pricey. I used to really like Fronius inverters. I went off SMA when the removed the digital display on their inverters, so you can only access with an app on your phone or laptop. [/QUOTE]
