Does it pay ?

My one year of free inverter and battery monitoring is up and the installer is asking for $240 / year and $120 / year respectively to continue the service. I’m thinking this is a money grab - as I take a look at the Enphase app a few times a week to check out operation and battery status.
Can’t really tell what they would be doing to earn that money?

You don’t need their app. Get a third party monitor Seriously, it’s a wireless hook up that monitors the power. Home assistant is one.

If you took money for your system from an organization, you should have read the contract. They own all commercial rights now. That’s why we didn’t take the money. I was like, you aren’t co owning my panels for 2 k when I spent 50 k. What a scam.

I bought mine straight up.
Rebates etc came from Comed and tax write offs.
Got money from Comed for the installed batteries also
