This is true, but it's also clear that the growth of your business is
limited by your capacity to ship kits and modules.

It's frustrating to have to wait 4 or 5 months to get kits. I have to
guess - "What kits will I want in six months? How much money will I
have available when they ship?"

Would it make sense to offer bare-bones kits as a new option? Just a
board, panel, l-bracket, hard-to-get parts, & instructions? No free
support.

This might be a way to be your own competition. People that are
anxious to build now could get a bare-bones kit. They would take
minimal time to put together and you'd miss out on fewer new sales
opportunities because you were busy making kits.
