Vic,

It does seem like tech support everywhere is on the decline. Especially with more complicated equipment, it is needed more than ever.

Drake,
How long does it take to get Hasan on the phone, when you're onsite doing a service call? How many staff other than Hasan are trained to help installers with their battery inverters, who are onsite doing service calls? Do you happen to know if Hasan and crew have figured out a way for installers to change storage profiles without returning to the site?
Some sites are an hour drive away which means 2 hours of drive time.

All I can say is rumors of the Hybrid Energy Team’s demise were greatly exaggerated. We’re still here, and I have no idea where this person got their info from.

Thank you,

I haven't used that combo, but I spent quite a bit of time researching, and SMA only warrants their equipment when used with batteries from their 'recommended' list. LG Chem is not on the list, BYD is. Personally I would be picking an inverter that has better tech support (SMA fired all their off grid team) and is better suited for the design. The only reason I could think to use the Sunny Island would be if it was a 208, 3 phase setup.
