Update based on Ace's Comment. "working as intended" means not working during power outages, not working for 8 hours at night, and the inverter running degraded during connected solutions events. So as long as I don't expect the backup batteries to work without the PV system, the system works! Right now my inverter doesn't supply the full power during connected solutions events from the battery. This has been going on since last year, after the batteries were replaced multiple times. It was identified last year, and Ace Solar has been saying "works fine". Solar Edge came out and said "do a warranty replacement". Ace Solar (like they have done multiple times) has gone quiet. BBB complaint is closing due to Ace Solar not responding (see the theme). Note: Ace Solar had Solar Edge come out, and Solar edge had a couple of changes that the told Ace Solar to make, like configuring the batteries correctly and changing the gauge of wire. Yes, the gauge of wire was installed incorrectly. Good company to buy from. Terrible post-installation service, a complete lack of communication. If you have a problem (like your batteries failing), expect months of no information. Bought PV and batteries, Batteries were on back order and failed a few months after installation (right before summer). Took all summer to get them working. 2 months to get someone onsite, and months between communications. Batteries failed again at about a year mark, and silence from Ace Solar. Easier to reach out to the inverter company yourself than work with Ace Solar, and that I think is what they want. So very hands on when selling. After that, you are your own champion, as Ace Solar seems to have forgotten they sold batteries.

Ward, as we have been discussing over the past months, we are equally frustrated with way things have gone with the battery equipment and more specifically, the manufacturer and their response to this issue. It is good to see that in the meantime the solar arrays energy production has performed better than expected.

As you’re aware, we have an upcoming site visit scheduled with a SolarEdge Technician to diagnose this issue further. SolarEdge informed us that the recent firmware updates were successful and the system is working as it should be. We had been efforting for a while to get a SolarEdge rep onsite so that they can check the inverter and battery behavior. We are not seeing any issues on the monitoring portal currently as there are no alerts. If we have to change or verify any battery charging and discharging settings, SolarEdge support are the ONLY party that can complete those steps. We understand your frustration and will continue to be in touch with you as we work with the manufacturer to resolve any confusion.
