    Sol-Ark 12K TOU?

    Looking at the OP his batteries are fully charged before the solar input is 9k. Since the inverter can only send 9k to the grid, if you have 12k of panels that extra 3k is totally unusable at that point. The inverter has no place to put it. By slowing down the charge the batteries are still...

    Faults with EG4 batteries and Sol-Ark 12k.

    Anyone having issues with the Sol-Ark 12k using a EG4-LL V2 as master and Lifepowers below that? I have been running 2 Lifepower4's for about 6 months open loop and was excited to see Signature Solar made the EG4-LL V2 that would allow close-loop communication between the inverter and the...
