We contacted MN Solar to install a home solar array and battery backup. After a bit of research and a recommendation from a friend, I chose to go with the SolarEdge system. I liked that it is one of the few systems that wasn't constantly switching from DC to AC and back again with inverters at the panels, between panels and the backup battery, then from the backup battery back to the house. Other than our local utility provider's glacial approval process, the install of the system went well. MN Solar was knowledgeable and professional. The 10kWh battery has been a problem from day one. Once it was installed, a software glitch prevented it from being recognized by the system. MN Solar, did multiple visits to our house and hours on the phone with SolarEdge to diagnosis and fix the problem. It was determined by SolarEdge that our battery wasn't functioning. That was October 2025. Here we are at March 2026 and we still don't have a replacement or any idea when/if one is coming. MN Solar has copied me on the weekly emails asking for updates on the RMA for a tracking number. SolarEdge's response is something to the effect of, "We will be in touch next week with your tracking number." After 6 months of waiting and already paying for a $41k system + battery, my patience is at an end. Now, comes the "fun" of trying to get a refund for this bricked battery sitting in my basement. The app so far has worked most of the time. There have been some bugs a few days with reporting but nothing of note. The array works well. If you are considering SolarEdge, my suggestion is don't get their battery. Everything else is fine.
