We also, have found this to be the case. Now I feel like I'm in a bad marriage with them. We consistantly wait longer than we are told for replacement product, constantly hearing the same repetitious verbiage from them "just wait a little longer, we'll be able
to control your coffee maker with your inverter soon".. or the old "Q1 Q2 Q3" promises for equipment or to get thru beta testing.. .. I too. . . am "Done". . .

<p>Time has finally come to move on from SolarEdge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now replacing the THIRD inverter for one customer alone that has the infamous 181/183 hardware failure error code again. First one replaced in Sept 2019. Second failure and RMA July 6<sup>th</sup> 2020, and now this third failure on
that replacement inverter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We have had 24 total RMAs at quick count and it is eating into our credibility.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Solar Edge provided a briefing to me about two months ago acknowledging that their manufacturing quality control issues bordered on a recall, but opted to stay silent and let the installers keep suffering for their materiel and design
issues. I was advised that the batch of deficient inverters and their manufacture time frame meant I just needed to get through this summer\u2026perhaps but not another summer ever like this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No more. Au revoir, Solar Edge.</p>
