  • Sol-Ark 12K 59V problem fixed!

    A year ago I purchased another Sol-Ark 12k. I opened the box and perused the manual to see if any changes were made. After not finding any, I put it back.

  • LTO BATTERY BANK WIRING AND WIRE SIZING

    I recently purchased 15 LTO batteries for my battery bank that came from a Honda Fit. Each unit is comprised of two sections of 12 cells each for a total of 24 cells per unit (battery). I intend to purchase more of these after I get the present ones in operation and see how well they do. The...

    Somewhere I came across a post regarding some composition of batteries that included lithium that could be charged below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. I can't seem to locate where I saw it. Does anyone know about this battery and where it can be purchased?
  • Need some advise advise on strings of different wattage.

    I need to settle an argument. I have 16 360W panels and 8 370W panels I am wiring to a Sol-Ark 12K. I was going to parallel two strings of 8 of the 360W panels to one charger and string the eight 370W panels to the other charger in my Sol-Ark 12K. A guy, who installs solar told me my Sol-Ark...
