They do sell real inverters 

The good  rev 11.3 control board  come  from  China  usually air by DHL .          On ebay  my  order was  cancel  by Jack  as the ASL11.0 transformer  is not available for the 30000 watt  PJ inverter  and the  ebay seller  price of 600 dollars was too low for Jack  who control everything .      The new 30kw will start peoduction on  Dec 22  and the price  will be more than  1000 dollars  and maybe  4000 dollars  .    Jack seem to sell every inverter  he make  and sold around the world .

I do not speak Chinese and will never go to China. I doubt anyone from gs has ever seem any of them or ever traveled to China/Taiwan or actually been able to either...

Haven't traveled there...not exactly the safest at the current time due to tensions between the 2 nations.  But there definitely has been talk of Sean and/or me visiting their Chinese factory several times over the past few years.

I sure have, via video call.  Seen the head people (Jack, etc.), the workers, got a tour of the factory, etc., etc.

so PowerJack is no longer making the transformer for the gs inverters as you are ordering from a different company a new prototype.....transformer,,,,, and new design pcb boards also from different company, most other parts are off the shelf parts sold in China....if you can get them???

they (PowerJack) are only bending the reduced size stainless steel cases now or what....for your gs 12k design now and GS 6k....regardless of gs inverter development set backs and re-design interpretation delays >>>>>>

sounds like the sales of PowerJack on eBay continue ....and the PowerJack inverters originate out of Walnut,California;  Lansing, Michigan and also direct from China....sold continuously on eBay

what is eta for gs12??? 2023 march??????

so Jack is not a Jill and speaks English fluently or what....

seems/sounds like Helen is still working there with PowerJack but no longer in the complaints department....before she claimed she quit via skype message ,,,,easy way to dodge the complaint problems of their sale of a piece of paper in a cardboard box....

I've seen Jack via video call...his English is fairly decent.  Obviously, there's the language barrier of our idioms vs theirs, but we can converse.

That's actually a "new" factory they moved into earlier this year.  They used to be in a pretty snazzy looking building...the current building is more of a "hole in the wall".  (I've had video tours of both.)

They've been paid in full to manufacture (x) number of complete inverters--and that's what we and everyone else has been expecting from them.  No idea why they seem to be powered on frozen molasses.

For an ETA from PJ, I honestly don't know at this point.  We're caught between a rock and a hard place with no reason given.

All of the other items I've been ordering samples of, that's because we have to manufacture inverters for customers--and if we can't rely on PJ, we've got to have a Plan B.  If only we'd known this back in September...
