<div>I tell all of my clients if you ever have to do roof solar, you should use a central inverter and not ever put electronics on a roof. Bad enough to put solar panels up there! </div>

<p>SolarEdge\u2026I keep saying they fixed their reliability issues, but the latest storms in Central Texas leave me again with frustration. Some systems worked, others did not. Worst was ones that were surge-sensitive as grid utility power was restored so a system in backup yesterday turns into a service call with the grid back, as a finicky BUI transfer switch didn\u2019t go back to grid power.<br><br>Make the run to the affected customer and wait and wait and wait for tech support, only for them to finally take my call after I\u2019ve packed everything up (how long must we wait for a call pickup?) and the first question is \u201csend us pics of the installation.\u201d Of course that is to grade the work and despite me saying we replaced a comms card in November, and don\u2019t you have that picture still? I get the tier-1 blocking before I get to tier-2.<br><br>I\u2019ve had a lot of final straws with SolarEdge, each time assuaged by a \u201cwe\u2019re fixing reliability\u2026we\u2019ve improved tech support\u201d but objectively, this company drives most of my reliability frustration. Intra-\u201cbox\u201d comms are so finicky. I\u2019ve told them they have Backup Interface Units that get stuck between grid and backup during the rapid on and off utility outages that come with many storms and they try to say \u201cwe have not seen that\u201d but I tell them I gave five examples just from me!<br><br>Vent over\u2026know many of you have left SolarEdge and I suppose its stock price a manifestation of that.<br><br><br></p>
