Hiya, newbie here, need some advice
I have a failed solar edge power optimiser, the system is 7 years old.
Solar edge have remotely diagnosed that a replacement is required and will cover the part under warranty (about £50-£60) but say they don’t cover labour.
I have an insurance policy which covers faulty workmanship but currently I only have evidence of a faulty part. So it seems labour costs are down to me. I have a few questions
I have seen elsewhere that SE sometimes do pay labour (not sure about scaffolding) although the warranty seems to be clearly parts only. I have no installer to help me as mine went bust. Anyone know under what circs they pay? or should I forget it?
The cost of labour and scaffolding seems prohibitive to me for 1/12th of the generation. I am wondering if it’s best to just do nothing and wait until something else fails before paying for scaffolding. Are there any downsides to doing nothing that I’m overlooking? It’s 7 years old so chances are in the next 5-10 years something else would go wrong.
Anything else I’ve overlooked?
Many thanks in advance
