Good day everyone! We installed our SolArk 15K with 20 Canadian Solar 445W bifacial panels in a 7,7,6 configuration. I am highly addicted to solar and bringing our energy bill to zero if possible. Our panels are working great and we want to add another 14 panels, 535W Jinko Tiger panels from...

I finally have my system up, sort of. Following the Solark 30 minute video they indicate to check the “no battery” option if you, indeed, have no battery. We are grid tied, and when checking that setting the system won’t power any loads from the grid or PV. Disabling that setting brings power...

Good day everyone, my first post here after doing as much lurking and reading as I can. Recently I decided to finally make my jump into solar and I have 20 panels on the way from Santan Solar. These are Canadian Solar C3SW-445MB-AG bifacial panels. The basic specs are: VoC: 48.9V Vmp: 40.9V...

So here is my dilemma. Due to my noobness (I knew this would come, so I am not surprised, just a hurdle) I went into this thinking my system would be a good fit for my home. It's an 8.9kW system (for now) with room for a little more gain from the bifacial panels. This means that I will need...

For the time being I am only using two batteries to provide some buffer for my system, later down the road when I build my garage things will grow but for now .. this will hammer out the lovely Duke Energy grid issues we see each day (randomly one time per day I get a 60v drop which causes the...

Edit: The title is misleading, I am sorry (it has been a LONG day). I currently have power but it seems to be in bypass mode only. This happened after changing the mentioned setting to "no battery" which then killed the output to the loads entirely. Power cycling it does nothing, it just sits at...

My setup: Sol-Ark 15k paired with 8.9kW bifacial panels + grid tied (no grid sell) It is quite likely that this is due to my own stupidity and not managing the SoC well enough, I have had days where the batteries did not charge fully for various reasons (not enough production, etc). Yesterday...

After installing our SolArk 15K it became apparently we have a frequent issue here with our grid supply. At least once a day the SolArk will disconnect from the grid b/c the voltage and frequency drop below acceptable thresholds. It has happened three times today, typically the grid frequency...

Good afternoon! I had to change my option for inverter as the one I went after is OOS due to supply shortages. I went with a Growatt 10K grid tie (meets all the requirements for my energy supplier). This has 4 MPPT's that support two strings each. My question is: does the 600V limit apply to...

I've been doing research on this and I still question how this would work together. Currently: 4 x EG4 Lifepower4 server rack batteries connected to a bus bar then going to the Solark 15k Does adding a single larger battery like the new EG4 wall mount indoor 14.3kWh battery pose any...

Greetings everyone, I am a few weeks away from really installing my solar, it's been a bump road over the last six months and I just did not have the time, such is life at times. I have 20 Canadian Solar CS3W-445MB-AG panels with a maximum voltage calculation of 56.4V for my area. My question...

I have six EG4 Lifepower4 batteries now (had 4 before). The existing four were connected using the included conductors that are 12" long. However, adding two batteries now means that at the extremes the included conductors will not reach. Busbar...

I am sorry to ask this because I see it has been asked a few times, but for the sake of not burning/killing, I will ask again. I have two more EG4 Lifepower4 batteries on the way, that will give me a total of 4. At this point I believe fusing is necessary. I see there are some differing lines...

Good morning, This is more of a curiosity to me as when sizing my array to my inverter I am almost bumping into the max usable amperage per input. For folks using a PV combiner box in your builds, what are your maximum amperage ratings per MPPT? For example my panels are rated for 11.54A at its...
