I got it figured out. They had to install 2 inverters and after confirming that it's supposed to be the last 5 of the AP password I was able to use pypowerwall and actually get data from both inverters but I think they both report the same data. Thanks @yblaser and @offandonagain for...

This is the screen that is briefly displayed before landing on the upgrade page

Tesla just replaced my SE Inverter with a Tesla Inverter. When I try to access the IP address of the Inverter I very briefly see the login page with a CONTINUE button on the page but it quickly changes to the Tesla Pros app page and you can't do anything. I tried refreshing the page and clicking...

@mswlogo Do mind sharing what you used to find the caps? I had to mess with the lighting to get a picture of the cap part number but a quick search didn't reveal anything.

I have an older thread talking about my Inverter failure but add me to the list of people with an inverter failing in less than 12 months and the replacement also failing in less than 12 months. When the first inverter failed I contacted SE directly and has a replacement at my door in 2 days...

Oh Man, that really sucks and doesn't make my day looking thinking about what's to come for me. I tried again today to use the MySolarEdge App to connect to the inverter but that failed even though I'm using the latest Android version of the app. On a whim I decided to still connect to the...

Well that's certainly a nice unit but just a touch more than I want to spend to satisfy my curiosity. I might just start with something like a ZMPT101B board and a ESP32 and throw the data into Home Assistant.

Fair enough but I question how "dirty" the grid really is and the whole design intent of this device is to sit on the grid so whatever that fluctuation is should not be outside the design of the inverter. If voltage spikes were really that bad to cause a failure in the inverter I really fail to...

From my point of view this device is designed to connect to a grid and should be able to handle any instabilities. IF my grid was truly unstable enough to damage the inverter than what about all the electronics in my house or anything on the grid in my area? You'd expect to see failures of all...

To make matters worse, SE support was trying to blame the failure on "grid instability" Here's part of our chat:

I'm back ... Would you freaking believe that my inverter failed again! Almost exactly 1 year later and it looks like it stopped working on Monday. For some reason I can't get the mySolarEdge app to fully connect to gather logs but I contacted SolarEdge and they confirmed it needs replacing BUT...

At the last minute before sending the old inverter back I decided to open it up and snap a few pictures for those curious and haven't seen inside. Unfortunately they aren't the greatest pictures so I fail as a photographer! Nothing obviously damaged although it was nice to see that they...

Seriously, you've been down since May? That has got to be very frustrating and I feel for you.

Tesla came out today, actually early, and the tech was surprised that I already had the replacement inverter even though I called Tesla service and they said they would put that in the notes. The tech was here less than an hour and I'm back up and running. The only downside is that I have to...

Just the tracking information for the replacement inverter from SolarEdge and it is scheduled to arrive tomorrow via UPS ground so it must be shipping from the Bay Area as hoped. I just got off the phone with Tesla and let them know to expect to replace my inverter on Thursday so fingers crossed...
