The SolarEdge response time is more like 10 months.  They just fixed an 
installation last week that I complained about in December 2018.  The excuse 
they kept repeating is no ferrite chokes are available.  I don't believe that 
excuse since I checked several sources and all had parts in stock.

Solar Edge has been pretty good about fixing these things, although it can be 
10 weeks from first complaint to completed work.

It’s not just the west coast.... I never thought I’d see it here in NW PA but 
now I have one directly across the street from me.....solar edge says they’ll 
be out as soon as they get the parts, not holding my breath.....

Side note: during WWII, we had a huge TNT plant built here.....why?!?! Because 
the meteorologists determined that our location was one of the cloudiest in the 
US and would prevent bombing raids....true story !!
