Spot on essay. When we installed #Solar a couple of years ago I was appalled that I was required to ensure a continuous internet connection for the Solar Edge inverter lest I void my warranty. Enphase was pretty much the same.
The only way around this is to build your own system from other non-enshitified components. I could probably do that today but I did not have the knowledege back then.
"Big Solar" has also corralled most of the larger installation firms across the region so its difficult not to use them.
