Ideal Power Inc (IPWR)

In the last CC, Brdar did mention that their partnership with Sonnebatterie was indeed all about a US residential offering, which was in contrast to past statements saying their focus was on C&I applications (for the US).

It would certainly imply that either they have a residential-focus converter in the works, or will simply use their existing (but overpowered?) 30kW units. When I asked IR (back in May) about the comparison between SolarEdge's converters (Tesla's chosen partner), they replied this:

[SolarEdge's 20kW unit is] a uni-directional solar inverter, fixed voltage DC to AC conversion only without isolation similar to many other solar inverters except it can also take inputs from panel optimizers.
IPWR is a bi-directional unit (DC to AC and AC to DC) with isolation. A completely different offering altogether.
