Yeah, can confirm, don’t do it. Ours is performing as intended but only after months and months of bullshit and having to get half our roof redone (which they paid for, but god that was annoying) because they messed it up horribly on initial install. I’m never doing rooftop again, and if I do solar, it’ll be ground level and I’ll do everything myself but the scariest parts of the electrical work. [edit] oh and it’s connected through some Internet of Shit device that I’m sure will stop working in a few years and cause all kinds of trouble in the replacement. If I’d known it wasn’t just gonna be a big on/off switch, I’d not have done it.

> it’s connected through some Internet of Shit device You probably got some "tax credits" that are, legally, a pre-payment for the expected generation of carbon offset credits, and your system has to report metrics to verify the actual electricity generation so that the credits can be created over time. Did you read all the fine print of the contracts you signed? We did, and it left a pretty bitter taste in our mouths.

  Oh, I’m sure it was mentioned in there somewhere and I just missed it. But utility Internet-connected meters and such seem pretty reliable at this point, if they just wanted to monitor. Instead it’s the usual smart-home garbage with an app and probably 500x the computing power it should reasonably need, basically guaranteed to cause problems sooner rather than later. Would’ve called it off if I’d noticed that up front.
