Around that time there were some issues with solaredge equipment..specifically bad optimizers the SE tech support affectionately dubbed "sleepy optimizers". We had one job from that production run that we replaced several of the optimizers on.. in general though we've had great luck with solaredge otherwise with very few optimizer failures and the occasional inverter replacement(always straightforward and timely processing of the RMA). Just my experience but this seemed like an appropriate time to chime in.
