I know it's all speculation at this point but does anybody have any info on the Midnite Solar "The One"? Price and order availability date. Battery communication compatibility. I know I should have patience and just wait and see..
My situation is this: We will be building an off grid home starting in the next 2-4 ish years on another property we own. At our current home I have put together an off grid system with about 20kwh of dumb batteries(not the highest quality but are working fine). When we move I will upgrade the batteries. This feeds an eg4 3000 ehv-48. 7 x 270w panels up so far but I will setup a total of 20-30 in the next month temporarily at our current location. (I have a total of 60). All this is powering my homes lighting as well as most outlets, dish washer, refer, freezer. Purpose is emergency backup/lower our grid usage as well as getting a real life understanding of what our future system should be. Its actually very fun and eye opening.
I want to upgrade the inverter to allow more loads. Mini split as an example and the well if the grid goes down. It would be nice to be able to reuse it when we move. I am looking at the 6000xp and 18kpv. Leaning towards the 6000xp due to initial cost and the possibility that an amazing product comes along between now and the new place. I can stack more later if they are still available. 18kpv would be enough for anything we would do here and at the next home but much higher buy in. Looking for UL listing, breakers built in along with gfci and afci. The future home would be inspected. Currently flying under the radar until then.
So my current setup is temporary and will be moving to the future off grid location and reused where appropriate. Right now there is a sale on the 18kpv and several vendors are offering free shipping if you spend enough , which I would as there are other items on my list. Wish the 6000xp was on sale, but its already a good value. Then I remembered the thread about the MS The One. I just looked it over and it is very enticing. The hang up is with the sales\ free shipping I am ready to buy now. I will only buy the eg4 stuff with free shipping/sales. If possible I want to run the mini split AC this summer. If I knew the price on The One I would know whether to wait. At $2500 I would definitely wait. At $4000+ I would go 6000xp for now. If there was a 10000xp for $2000-2200 that's the sweet spot for me.
There's always something better just around the corner. Just got to jump in....... or wait it out.
So any news or speculations? Up to what price would you be interested in this new AIO? What do you think I ought to do?
