Yup, Growatt is the Chinese OEM that Base Power white labels to pretend it does US manufacturing. In fact this stuff is low quality. You need to be careful. There are gradations of quality at cell, pack, inverter, control levels. You will be crushed if you realize you AliExpressed your way to a home power "solution" only to have it fail young.

For what it's worth, Tesla PV/batt inverters are bad, almost as bad as the Chinese manufacturers mentioned ITT. PW3 has very high failure rate ~10%+RMA, not good enough IMO to be in the path of power at my house.

(Their motor inverters are world-class, but totally different topology)

exactly right -- although tesla is weak on power electronics for the industrial scale sites, too. there are SPOFs there in the power conversion chain.

but a DISASTER in residential.

Tesla Powerwall products (including Powerwall 3) have a massive failure rate. Seems like 10% over lifetime. Shoddy technology compared to the leading competitors, especially the inverter. They should go back to white labeling cheap Delta inverters.

It has better search and context management under the hood, which matters for big companies.

But you can also see quantitatively that Sourcegraph produces the most accepted code: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-catching-anth...

Of course, Sourcegraph is better.

These are forcememed companies, unfortunately. Neither Palantir nor Anduril make a single thing that China doesn't, and neither one makes a single thing at attractive cost that would intimidate China in a conflict. They could disappear tomorrow with no impact to US military lethality.
