Seemingly, at the drop of a hat the morning of Friday, Nov 15th, Deye-branded inverters across the US were intentionally bricked.

WTF?

This is why cloudy systems are asking for trouble. I have several charge controllers at home - none of them connect to the internet, and although probably more expensive, I feel vindicated that this was the right choice…

    I’m really looking forward to solar, but I will never touch anything I don’t own myself, for this exact reason. They took the shitty business model of game “licensing” and applied it to physical goods. The other issue is that sometimes your power can go out and you’ve got solar panels, but they’re owned by the utility company, run straight to the grid, and you’re not allowed to use them, making them useless for you.
