I just need to get something off my chest that been pissing me off for 3 weeks now. 13 years ago I contracted a company to install a solar system on the roof of my garage. They of course sourced components from various companies that they felt were reliable. Now thankfully, as you can see the roof is accessible from the ground or my problems over the years would have been devastating to say the least. I have 23 micro invertors, one under each panel. The invertors are warranted for 25 years, it was a good thing because in 12 years I have experienced 14 micro invertor failures. The installation company is about 110 miles from me, so when the first invertor failed I called them and they came down to replace it. Even though the invertor was not charged to me their trip down here and labor was costing me $700! Thankfully I watched the easy plug and play replacement so I could do it the next time myself. Good thing because this scenario repeated itself 13 more times. Fast forward to now, the communication portal is made by the same company who makes the invertors. Calling the installer wasn't fruitful as they blame the problem on their supplier, long story short I was told by the supplier that the communication device had gone bad, warranty on this is only 5 years. Replacement device is $700 and no bigger than my hand but "out of stock" due in 4 weeks. I finally received the device and although they claim "plug and play" installation it is anything but! Two days on the phone with the tech department and it still doesn't work properly. Now they are claiming it's probably a wiring problem and to call the installer. Nobody wants to accept responsibility and it pisses me off. The name of the company that makes the invertors and communication device ENPHASE ENERGY...a word to the wise, don't let your installer use these junk devices made in China! Latest ticket #17465429
