My favorite GT inverter is unavailable again. Schneider issued a stop-ship order (or strong recommendation). This is the best inverter on the market in terms of looks, size, silent operation, and the integrated AC _and_ DC disconnect.

What's going on this time?

    No one has any idea? I'm going to take a guess... How about the spring-loaded terminals in their redesigned wiring box? They did away with screw terminals in favor of the spring clamp terminals. I had a wire pull out of one of these while I was working in the box. I didn't notice the wire had come out until I turned the power back on and nothing happened. It could have shorted to ground, but it didn't scratch through the paint.
