Opinion on SolarEdge interver + battery, and letting Xcel utility discharge my battery for an incentive?

[jmilanski]

Hey all,
I'm upgrading my grid-tied system. I had intended to get the new EG4 18K hybrid inverter and EG4 Lifepower batteries. But Xcel Energy Colorado has an $500/kW incentive if I install the SolarEdge inverter and batteries, AND allow Xcel to "charge or discharge up to 60% of your battery, up to 60 times per year."

#1) Opinions on the SolarEdge inverter and battery?

#2) Is the incentive worth allowing Xcel to discharge my battery?

Thanks everyone!

Oh, I should add, Xcel gives the same rebate for Tesla PowerWall, but I figured that was not worth the $$$
