Dont confuse Solar Edge with the installer, usually two different entities, 
maybe even three, since sometimes they use an additional third party to 
install….Solar Edge is very aware of the problem, I may still have an email 
from an engineer in 4X from 2019, when my neighbor had a 14 panel roof array 
mounted. In my case the ARRL was very helpful, and the installation company 
were total jerks. Of course , I couldnt help but rub it in when they had to 
come back, tear everything off, and rebuild it with the twisted cabling and 
newer optimizers….but then again, they probably got paid twice, once to do it 
wrong, and on e to do it right !!
