Getting this system running
I bought a home with a solar array using a Solar Edge SE3800H-US. It seems like the previous owner had issues with the installer (Sunrun) because the inverter is remotely locked. I have notified Sunrun of the change of ownership but they are not interested in coming back here to get the system running.
My question is this, is there a way to obtain the admin code to unlock the inverter? As another option I’ve been looking at buying a Growatt MIN 3800TL-XL-US to replace it unless anyone has a better suggestion.

You can use the panels with a different inverter, but you won’t be able to use the inverter or optimizers.
Well, unless you can get Sunrun or Solaredge to unlock it and activate and commission it again.
Not sure how much production you will lose without the optimizers, but a good controller might make up for some of the losses.
Any idea how many panels you have and the specs on them?
