I enjoyed the thread. It showed that despite hiring a PR person to represent them on this forum, Signature Solar management is still willing to chime in with personal attacks on their customers.
First rule of holes is that when you are in one, quit digging.
Perhaps the best choice is to pick a company that actually wants your business. If the service is this bad before the sale, how bad will it be if you have a problem after the sale?
Q for will:
If a customer has a product which he has seen illegally exporting power, why would you expect him go out of his way to reconnect it in order to provide data on the illegal export for you.
I am confused. Op bought a unit that didn't work correctly. He worked diligently with SS to resolve the problem, but they took lots of time and made things worse, so he requested a refund. All is good... Then Will jumped in to defend SS demanding data to support claims while SS's customer...

Let the marketplace fire them. I am Voting against them with my $.

Strength is a matter of design...
I still cannot see how a single failed cell can cascade into this failure without lots of extenuating circumstances.
Is it possible that a failed inverter with a large inductor shutting down introduced a large voltage spike to the batteries that caused dielectric breakdown in multiple cells...
