[RE-wrenches] SolarEdge Has Gone Too Far

[Jason Szumlanski]

I just wrote a scathing blog post, notified my staff not to take on new
SolarEdge service clients, and blasted out messages and DMs on social media
about this despicable new move by SolarEdge. Imagine being one of the many
system owners impacted by solar contractors going out of business, only to
find out that the manufacturer of your equipment wants to charge you to
have a new willing contractor authorized to monitor and service your system.

By contrast, Enphase owners can have as many contractors monitor their
systems as they want, and they can initiate it themselves and for free, 24
hours a day without delay.
