Hello, I have two physical Sol-Ark 12 K units. 1 has 12000 watts of panels, one has 1920 watts. When is parallel setting there is a 3rd sudo plant created that combines the two plants so you can watch your system as one. in power view this sudo would be found under plant list. There are not a...

It has been a while, thought I had added a picture a while back. This is the BMS layout, along with Battery balancer that I ended up going with. Basically a couple of brackets bent as needed and some M3 Phillip's heads screws.

Today I brought on my forth 280 amp hour 48 volt battery pack. I updated the settings for the battery on my Sol-Ark 12K to reflect the new battery pack. Here they are, anyone have any thoughts on the current settings. I am using voltage, not % in my settings. Sorry for the small fount, not sure...

I never found a solution. My goal at the time was to not feed battery power to the grid side of my house, only actual solar power. At no time do I send any power back into the grid at all. Overtime I added 2 more 48 volt battery packs for a total of 3 48 volt 280 amp hour lifepo4 batteries. With...

I am saving money for another 12K. For now my single one seems to be covering things well. I would however like to spread the load and or have a fallback if one were to go bad.

You have 2 12K Sol-Ark's with 132 kwh, not sure I follow what you mean 56/54

Based on comments provided from forum users and the fact that I added another 48 volt, 280 amp hour pack for a total of 3, I am providing the latest Sol-Ark battery settings for review/discussion. As always let me know your thoughts.

Hello Does anyone know what these setting should be? This is what pops up when I try to update weather information in my Sol-Ark 12 K inverter. I have done some quick searches, not seeing any information on what the fields actually mean.

Update on the battery charging. Well as stated I was not getting the batteries charged. A friend and my brother looked at the charts provided, they both came to the conclusion that I was only using 1/2 of my charging power. In a Sol-ark 12K there are two MPPT controllers. With some wire removals...

There are two 48 volt battery packs, made up each of 16 EVE 280 amp hour batteries. Both battery packs have Over-Kill 100 AMP BMS. In the last day I have changed wiring around so that I can run 200 AMPS between inverter and Bus bars. Doing so allowed me to change the following setting to 185...

The CT sensors wrap around the incoming power to the house and detect the load the house is using, in my case I have 200 amp service and they are placed just above the main breaker. I included a picture of one, not the one I am using but allows you to see what I am talking about. These like...

I have been talking with Sol-Ark, they have made several adjustments. Things are improving, using more of the batteries, charging better... But I am still sending battery power to the on Grid side of house after solar hours are done. Really wish I could figure out how to send only extra panel...

CT sensors are located above main circuit breaker of main panel coming into house. The inverter detected the CT 's and does send power to the main house and it set for home only. It seems to be working as is should when the panels are providing power. The challenge I have been having is that the...

The 50 AMP connection allows electricity to go both way since the CT's were connected. The Transfer switch is there should I lose all power on the critical load side/off grid side (And in preparations for a 2nd Sol-ark). My real issue is that when the sun goes down, the battery takes over and...
