Hey Niko, This looks really exciting, congratulations on your launch! As the product is still early access, the product isn't suitable for the homepage yet. Please feel free to reach out to us again when the product has been prototyped fully and has passed relevant safety tests. Many thanks, Calum

Hi Product Hunters! 3 years ago I posted an article about a DIY solar project I made myself on Hackernoon and on Medium (https://bit.ly/2zYoDJx). This went to the top of HN for a while and received 200K views in a few days. After offering these Amazon-linked DIY "guides" on https://sunboxlabs.com for the past 3 years, I've been watching the prices come down and technologies improve. Many people have asked me if I'd sell and support a kit like this over the years, and I believe it's now possible. So here's my pre-sale! I've hand-picked components, and am running something similar in my room right now. This initial run will be lightly-customized parts, shipped to your doorstep and I'll support you installing it safely. It's 200W solar, 500Wh battery, 500W inverter out. If we get to 10 pre-orders before June 26th, then it'll happen (I've actually started organizing supply chain as I've already got a few pre-orders). If not, then I'll re-fund everyone in full. Let me know your thoughts, and thank you!
