Spoke with SMA in Germany and a nice chap there said there could be some movement around June/July.

He also said that a few shipments were still being made to the UK, but nothing substantial.

I better get my Pop Up Tent, Flask, Sleeping Mat & Bag and get in the queue  Grin Grin

.......well I tell a lie, I have been in it for well over a month now, still the panels look nice and give the impression of an eco warrior angel

Well still no inverter yet, but hoping things will change soon when Germany's Feed In Tariff rate changes in July.

Anybody seen the lesser spotted sunny boy 2500 on our shores recently Grin

Seems that there are now some new G83 inverters on the market but I think is worth the wait for SMA, considering its going to be in use for many years to come.
