    The Sol Ark 12k is perfect for my needs you contact Sol Ark or Signature Solar for the inverter settings for the batteries. As far as the fan on the 12K they are loud .

Once a week I will make a 60 mile hilly trip to town and use a Tesla supercharger in town...

    Hello I live off the grid and I purchased a tracker that will hold 12 450 watt Suntech panels.

The only 120 usage I...

    Thanks so much , I was going to go with growatts but there were issues on the grounds and I am not a professional. Then I looked at the LVX 6048 but it seemed a little more expertise was needed to wire it all. Anyhow what would you suggest, I am not an expert and looking for a more plug and play...
