Quality of service and products. Ease of dealing with Smart Energy reps and office/support. 6.6kw solar system and 13.3kw battery. Installed the solar panels/inverter over a year ago in July 2021, installed the battery Oct 2022. Easily copes with a household of three people. This morning the battery was at 72% (electric off peak hot water reheats overnight) and today at 3pm despite solid rain and total overcast day, the battery is back to 94%
