  • EG4 6.5 Kw inverter max array voltage per PV input

    Question 1: On the EG4 6.5 Kw inverter there are two solar inputs (Pv1 and Pv2). The maximum amperage per input is 18 amps or less. The manual does not distinguish if the 500V maximum is split between the inputs ( ie. 250V per input), or can you apply up to 500 volts on one input? The...
  • Shipping abuse, should we send the equipment back?

    We live in Mexcio. Ordered a Sol Ark 15K and 12 Pytes batteries. The items would normally be delivered via a nice paved highway, however some moron decided to take a short cut over 80 miles of the worst washboard, cobblestone, horrible road ever. This is the road the the Baja 1000 off road...
  • Pytes battery wiring in pairs to buss or each battery.

    I'm installing a bank of 12 Pytes batteries to a single Solark 15k with 11Kw solar and grid tie in Mexico. I've been getting conflicting information from different sources about Pytes battery wiring. One tech I talked to said best that they are paralleled together in pairs of two to the buss...
  • Sol Ark gen setup without two-wire start

    I'm trying to help a friend set up his Sol Ark 8k off the grid. He does not want to use the generator auto-start feature. He just wants to wheel the generator out of his garage and plug it in when necessary. We have the generator output hooked up to the generator input breakers, but it won't...
  • Extend Victron Smart 712 signal

    Just installed Solar 15k with Pytes Batteries with PV pro. PV Pro is a bit of a pain as it's not in real time. I really like the Victron Smart 712 display on it's app and would like to install one, but my power room is way out of range of the bluetooth signal. I've seen where the raspberry pi...
  • AGS from SolArk 15k to Honda EU 7000 is

    Have the Solar 15k and 12 Pytes batteries installed and running. I'm going out of my mind trying to find documents/instructions on how to hook up AGS from the 15k to the Honda EU 7000. Can somebody please point me in the right direction? Thanks!
  • Pytes Battery and Solark 15k. Battery charge settings locked.

    Just installed SolArk 15k and 12 pytes batteries. All is good except when trying to change the charge voltage settings. The integration guide for the pytes batteries says the Float voltage should be 55.6v and the settings for absorb and equalize (yes I know eq is not used) should be 56 volts...
  • Renogy Adventurer doesn't show Lithium option

    I'm helping a friend install an Adventurer 30 amp charge controller (Renogy). When I enter the programming options for battery type, lithium is not a choice. It only offers flooded, Gel, Sealed. The charge controller came with his camper and he was told it's lithium compatible. I download...
  • Are these batteries dangerous?

    I rephrased this post to be a little more concise: We live in a remote town in Baja California Sur. Many of my neighbors with vacation homes bought an obscure solar system made in China that was sold here locally (the company dissappeared after making several sales). They are about 5 years old...
  • SolArk 15K lightning protection

    I'm installing a SolArk 15k with 12 pytes batteries in a lighting-prone area. I know the SolArk has built-in lighting protection but I've been advised by one of the salespeople where I bought it to include additional protections with the Midnight Solar surge protectors. Another sales agent...
