I didn't read his original post before he edited it so I didn't know what he said at first. But as Deye is a wholly owned Chinese company saying China was behind it is mere semantics. I agree it's pretty much a real cluster F for any Chinese inverter company.
I think a lot of installers are gonna think twice now before using Sol-Arks for their customers.
no that person is probably a paid mule that help to shape the discussion via moving info from one sight to another and then setting the narrative the way his paymasters want. thats about 10% of this forum is as well in my eyes.
He makes a fine borderline troll (takes one to know one), but as I've told him before, as the CEO of a company, he needs to exude a more professional demeanor.
this is about the stupidest comment i have seen in this whole thread... who you work for SOALRK? If I moved from Japan to the US and some of my gear happened to be a deye inverter mounted on my camper trailer whose business is that you stupid muppet.
I'm not sure if you have to present truth at the time of accusation in order to be safe from slander. It merely needs to be found true when the lawsuits start flying. It would be interesting if Deye/Sol-Ark sued.. because then some emails might have to come out. You probably couldn't manage to get any emails from Deye (being Chinese), but you sure as heck should be able to get them from Sol-Ark.
Fixed.
Why? Sol-ark inverters are not effected by this.
If anybody ever asks me, I'll suggest they get themselves a nice Midnite Solar The One. I would suggest a Victron, but they don't exactly make an AIO for easy installation (yeah, I know about that turd of an AIO they have that is just a metallic shell around their other regular separates).
Because it is now known that the hardware/firmware can be remotely bricked by the vendor (or eventually, hackers).
I smell a keygen in the works.
Maybe they will pinky swear that they took that out and won't do it again.
Who's to say they won't disable if you leave a negative review or for any arbitrary reason at all?
Sol Ark are made by Deye,
Every internet connect inverter on the market can be done that way. ALL of them.
THAT you can sue for
That's true. But so far, we've only heard of one company actually doing it.Every internet connect inverter on the market can be done that way. ALL of them.
That's one of the reason myself and others do not let our inverters have direct internet access
If they had the balls to do that, then I would hope that would be the final straw and people would finally grow a pair and stop buying their product.THAT you can sue for
In principle, yes, this this true.
No argument from me on that!That's one of the reason myself and others do not let our inverters have direct internet access
You couldn't pay me to recommend sol-ark from the price point alone.
or they could "do stuff", like slow down your unit, and make the battery not last as long as it used to, and hype a new greater and better model that costs more...and needs a different charger plug. (oh that is another company, sorry got side tracked there for a minute)
Those knockoffs are funny. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all.
