Same experience here in Canada. We installed two Ecogens last year, against
our better judgement.  Both were dead in under 12 months. One was rebuilt
under warranty and promptly died again, no coverage in that case. Another
was refused warranty as it has been used (sparingly) as prime power during
construction, prior to being connected to the inverter system. No warranty
if it's not connected to an inverter system on day 1! That model was
promptly pulled from the market according to our local ASC, and has been
replaced with something similar apparently.
