Their failure rate would be unacceptable in ANY industry.

Its scenarios like this that home owners really need to pay attention by Enphase is the clear winner.

[gregcollins]

You are lucky they did not send you a different version that is mounted differently....

Had my Solaredge inverter last 9 months. The failure rate is real.

Looks like this is a 5 minute job if someone isn’t jabbering in your ear nonstop. 😂

My Solaredge inverter has been working great since 2018

It's strange because the European Solar edge does not have this issue

I’ve had both Enphase & SolarEdge installed with very similar size systems, luckily no issues over a few years to speak of but I do get a lot more overall production out of the SolarEdge system. Paid itself off in 4yr, Enphase will be 5-6

I like reliability & have all my extended warranties but I want overall performance & if someday they ever have to replace my inverter I can live with it cause that system allowed me huge credits since the date of install

I have replaced my Solaredge inverter twice now in the last 3 years.

My SE5000A (not the "wave") failed in September after 8 years. Luckily I have a good installer that took care of it within three weeks. When I choose Solaredge in 2015 the forums were negative on Enphase due to their failures back then but now I think they stepped up QC and are more reliable. If my SE5000 fails again out of warranty I'd have no problem doing it myself and I've easily replaced an optimizer myself too.

We're installing a lot of SE systems in The Netherlands and have almost no problems.. :)

[johnbarton]

I deeply regret having this installed. My SolarEdge system has failed twice already. Both the solar company and the installer have gone out of business, and now I'm faced with additional out-of-pocket expenses on top of paying off this loan.

[ypyp]

There’s a shocker, an Israeli business that tries to defraud you. Who’d have thought it possible😂

[aten]

Sorry guys but solar in not worth it unless you installing in yourself . Simple.
20K in electricity that’s 20 years on 2, 500sq ft home.

I get the failure of high tech stuff, but for us it’s more about how long it take to get the replacement and installation. Morev than a few days and I’d be pissed. We have Enphase IQ8A Inverters and if one dies it’s no big deal. But our installer is local and has a great reputation. And we are adding two PW3s and given their built in Inverters a failure will shut my entire system down, so I’m hoping that when the inevitable happens I’m not screwed.

[richardbryanallison]

Solar edge has an awful legacy, complete junk, and you are also getting the souls of thousands of Palestinian children, who could live with that

[ArizonaSolarDoctor]

The problem is if the home owner is not certified and changes the inverter it will void the warranty. This is because even techs have in correctly wired inverter and blew them up.

[chris-]

Any ideas what "ac voltage too high" fault means even though the voltage is showing normal?

[TroopThrowback]

Are these systems commonly warranteed? Both my SolarEdge inverters will not connect via the app, and the leds indicate no communication.

[solargod]

The new SolarEdge inverters sucks from 2022+
