    DC temperate 90.1c on Sol-Ark 12k beeping w/red light.

    Yeah, and you can see in my video, taken at night, that my inverter is maxing out at 8973w. Interesting that your temp is also climbing. I was told by sol-ark to update the firmware or tune down the max output. I haven’t tried the firmware, but I can’t imagine that it’ll magically fix the...

    DC temperate 90.1c on Sol-Ark 12k beeping w/red light.

    Ambient temp is 50-60F. Excuse the old picture (mid-install), things are more buttoned up now.

    DC temperate 90.1c on Sol-Ark 12k beeping w/red light.

    Ventilation is pretty good. No sure about the fans.

    DC temperate 90.1c on Sol-Ark 12k beeping w/red light.

    Can someone explain why my sol-ark is beeping at me after about an hour of full 9k battery power. Shouldn’t the inverter be able to handle this? My cables are properly sized. I’m unsure where exactly it’s getting this temperature reading to begin with. Any help is much appreciated.

    1S-24S LiFePo4 Battery Voltage Monitors/Testers

    Hey there, do you still have one of these available? I'm curious as to how it can monitor a 24s pack, since I cannot find a complete 25 pin harness for 24s. My harness that is connected to Daly BMSs is actually split up into two harnesses (one for 17 pins and one for 8 pins I believe), but I...

    LTO SCiB battery bank for off-grid

    I was under the impression that the internal bms does not function without an external power source. In Fits, the bms were powered by the starter battery iirc. There’s a bunch of guys at the Honda Insight forum that have done a ton of work in these modules.

    LTO SCiB battery bank for off-grid

    I did. It's been running great since this summer. I found the individual cell voltages to be remarkably balanced without the need for bms balancing. The Dalys are hooked up, by I ask nothing of them other than low voltage and high voltage cut-off. That said, I keep my battery bank between 51...

    Sol-Ark 12k Limited to Home mode questions

    You feed 6-4 wire from your Sol-Ark's Grid breaker into a 60 amp breaker in your main panel and run CT sensor wires to your incoming main lines inside the main panel. This will enable the ability to use the limited to home mode which will zero out your meter prioritizing solar>battery>grid...

    Sol-Ark Manual "Do not connect the grid to the load output breaker" What would Happen?

    Just out of curiosity of seeing this big red notice in the manual, what would happen if the Sol-Ark's loads out breaker would be fed into a main service panel instead of a dedicated sub-panel?

    Sol-Ark 12k Limited to Home mode questions

    Thanks for your reply. Which Sol-Ark model do you have? I just replaced my 61v model with a 63v outdoor model and there was a new menu option in the advanced tab titled "CT ratio". This parameter was the difference in some really strange behavior with my Sol-Ark and some relatively normal...

    Sol-Ark confusion

    I haven't had a chance to go through this entire thread, so am not sure if the answer has been figured out, but I had some CT issues that took me some guess and checking to figure out. So.... I've had the 61v Sol-Ark 12k and recently the 63v outdoor rated 12k. My first model did okay with the...

    Problem with Sol-Ark (the company not the unit) What would you do?

    Just wanted to update that Sol-Ark is doing the right thing. They are replacing the unit that was damaged in shipping with a new outdoor unit. I am unsure whether to define the model they originally sent as a refurbished model. It may be a game of semantics here, but it was an unused model...

    Problem with Sol-Ark (the company not the unit) What would you do?

    I just want to be clear that aside from not charging batteries above 85% I really love the Sol-Ark 12k. I’m using it to zero out my meter and it’s so easy to install and manage all elements of my system. Just wanted to be clear that my issue is how they are advertised and then how issues are...

    Problem with Sol-Ark (the company not the unit) What would you do?

    So last year I bought 40kw of used Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) Toshiba Scib modules. I got a great deal on the batteries so was looking for an inverter to pair them with. The voltage range on my batteries are not common, however, so I did a lot of research before buying an inverter. The...
