    Solaredge charger issues

    Just had a Solaredge charger fitted. First charge for a trial worked but when disconnected the car then came up with a system fault and refused to power up. Disconnected the battery and the car then reset ok. Until this is resolved would suggest caution about Solaredge chargers.
