Is $550 to diagnose SolarEdge inverter network interface issue a fair price?

Project Details

My SolarEdge system has stopped reporting to the monitoring app, though the inverter is otherwise performing fine. It's hardwired Ethernet, and I've troubleshot the issue, confirming the LAN is disconnected and the problem is likely the network interface on the inverter, possibly the communication board. My original installer went out of business, and SolarEdge has not been helpful in finding service. I believe the $550 quote for just a service visit is steep, especially since it doesn't include parts. I've already checked the Cat 6 cable, and it's fine. I'm frustrated because the NIC might not be a swappable component, and I need to order a new part.

Send a technician to inspect the inverter

SolarEdge is offering to send a technician to my home to inspect the inverter. - Service includes: On-site inspection of the inverter to diagnose communication issues. - This service is proposed after I paid for a 1-year data plan renewal, but my system data is still not visible on the app after 3 weeks. - I suspect the issue is related to app settings or data plan activation rather than a hardware fault, as the problem coincided with the data plan expiration.
