Yeah… all ends of the market, from the $0.03 toy to the $1,400 iPhone have their physical hardware and assembly outside the West, mostly in China.
BUT. The software for the iPhone is made in the US. Which is why people buy it. All phones are black rectangles! The hardware does not matter that much. And the price to buy into the Apple software ecosystem is much higher than the sticker price of the iPhone, only some of which goes to China. So most of the reason someone buys a tech product, and most of the value, ie the software, is US made.
BUT #2: the solar inverter software is used as DRM. This should serve as EXTRA evidence for you that the SOFTWARE MATTERS and that the hardware is completely fungible.
