Same here.
Massively painful, which led to some boring moments testing, testing and more testing. But after 5 months with electricians, electrical certifiers, battery vendors and inverter vendors (and a little voltage/amp sensor to capture slow voltage grid brownouts that kept tripping my battery), it's been solid for nearly a year. And looking good.
