Hopefully the replacement comes faster this time, but is it the same piece of crap? Who knows. Yeah, Tesla always said they monitor the system to see if it needs service, that's obviously BS.

My replacement SE 10000 just went (and by just I mean 3 weeks ago but I just checked the app today). Man I wish we would be notified when they blow. Lost the first last May and now this was mid June, last time took 3 months to replace. I'm really sick of losing peak production 2 years in a row!!!

Are you sure about that 3kW reading? My 16 year old Amana 4 ton HP/AC uses around 1.9kW running in it's second stage.

My Bosch compressor is rated at 56db which I believe is good up to the 5 ton units (I have a 3 ton). I can say it is very quiet which is one of the reasons we purchased a new system. Being on a lake in a natural environment we need something quiet and peaceful and our previous goodman system...

Yes, it replaced an existing dual fuel AC/furnace. It is installed on my lake house which is roughly 2100ft. They used the existing lineset and ductwork but abandoned the chimney and ran a PVC pipe instead. It does a fantastic job.

Also check to see where peak production is in your area. For us in NY that occurs in April-June- by July/August production starts to fall off.

If you are willing to spend a few $ then I would go for an inverter based system like Bosch or Daikin. I have both and they run super quiet and very efficiently. My Bosch (3 ton) has a 20.5 SEER rating, runs at 56db and the compressor can run as low as 25% output- which means it starts up...

My SE10000 went around 6/2. I was home and heard a loud bang from the garage. Sure enough it was dead. They came and diagnosed around 2-3 weeks later and ordered a warranty replacement. I called and followed up along the way and finally the new one was installed on 9/15. That's thousands in...

Same here. My SE 10000 failed first week of June and as of now there is no replacement in sight. It is very frustrating to have lost $1000's in production with no end date as of now. Enough is enough.

My 10k inverter is down since 6/6. Same unit as yours that was installed 18 months ago. My unit does not have the LED display. What kills me is I lost June and July and now going into August. That's $thousand+ in production. The replacement was approved maybe 6 weeks ago but I'm waiting and...

My quote was to the penny of what I paid. And they had to run an extra 80' of conduit when the PWs didn't fit where we originally wanted them.

Add me to the list of busted inverters. My SE10000 just died today. I was sitting in my den next to the garage (where they are installed) and heard a very loud pop come from the location of the inverters. Sure enough my power output tanked (per app) and I see blinking red and green lights. I...

Impossibile to say without knowing the exact orientation, shading and inverter size...

I would also say that that chimney must do some serious shading past 1-2pm.

Sounds like they are working in line with the scenario I mentioned earlier. Changeover is only seamless if you are already running on the walls or the grid is up (you changed to self powered mode while grid is still running). If the grid goes down and you were not running off the walls it will...
