            Status:
            Unanswered
            A month after June 2023 installation of my 10-panel solar system on my **************, a ********** (Kota Energy Group) technician called to let me know he was going to check on one of my panels that wasn't producing well. I was surprised, and happy, to learn that they were monitoring the system. Tech went up on the roof, came down, said he didn't see anything wrong and went on his way. In the ensuing months, I thought I hadn't installed the solar phone app correctly, and that's why it was showing zero production. Since Kota was monitoring, surely it must be working? In the cold months my utility costs are from gas not electric, so I didn't pursue the issue until this spring. I tried to contact Kota numerous times via email and phone #s were either disconnected or rang endlessly; mailboxes were full. Enphase (the converter company), told me that **** had turned off the system in July 2023 and never turned it back on. Because I own the system outright, and couldn't reach Kota, Enphase was able to turn it back on in early June 2024. I lost a year of green energy and PGE rate paybacks, and it appears I'll have to find (and pay) someone other than Kota to follow through on any warranty issues. I would like to hear back from the company as to how this happened, and have it on the BBB record that Kota isn't reliable.
