Hi Scot - We've installed lots (too many) of SolarBridge micros, but they've all been through SunPower. SunPower is upholding their warranty. As you mentioned, the monitoring box is a big problem for these systems - they started out with really clunky hardware and or software and it never got better. Anyway, have you tried contacting SunPower or Enphase for warranty support since they purchased the assets? It seems like it's going to be a losing battle with these old systems if we can't get a working monitoring device.
