  • Sol-Ark 15 K now has batteries with Comms resolved

    I had four Pytes V5 batteries installed in the V-Box-OC in my garage. :)
  • How are your batteries doing during this cold snap?

    My Pytes V5 batteries are in an attached garage. Lowest battery temperature so far is 8C, hasn't triggered the battery heaters yet. Heater should turn on at 5C. Before anyone comments, the garage door is not open.
  • Sol-Ark installer not understanding TIGO CCA

    The installer is here now and planning to connect the external PV disconnect switch directly to the TIGO CCA aux terminals without any connection to the Sol-Ark. The external PV disconnect will perform RSD, but the Sol-Ark switch won't. What if anything will the PV disconnect switch on the side...
  • Sol-Ark owners check your grid settings

    Edit: As pointed out by 2TrevorJ, do not make changes to grid settings in PowerView. HF1 and LF1 should be 299S and PowerView doesn't allow anything greater than 60S. I looked at mine tonight. One system does not have batteries. In PowerView the time settings were outside of the allowed range...
  • Sol-Ark dongle not broadcasting SSID

    The dongle is communicating, but I can't connect to change Wi-Fi. The dongle only broadcasts it's SSID, if I reset the gateway via MySolArk and then it only stays visible for a few minutes. While the SSID was visible, I was able to view the dongle web page. The SSID continued to broadcast until...
  • Sol-Ark TOU killing PV production

    PV production is significantly reduced if I turn on TOU. All time slots are set to 100% SOC and 0 watts. Neither Charge or Sell are selected. My system is wired whole house backup and Sol-Ark is set to Limited Power to Load. I was trying to use Grid Peak Shaving, but that setting automatically...
  • Ground neutral bond

    I read today that ground neutral bond should be at the first point of disconnect. Is this true? I had a Sol-Ark 15K installed with an external AC disconnect. I doubt my installer moved the ground neutral bond from my main service panel to the disconnect. Why would this be important?
  • Quiz, which of these 3 systems has optimizers?

    It's an overcast day and there's no direct sunlight, only diffused. It's near noon. Which system or systems do you think has optimizers? I'll give the correct answer Monday.
  • Where are you

    I wish more people would include their state or country in their profile. When posting about solar production, it tells us little if we don't know where you are geographically.
  • Shelly Uni

    I need to remote monitor DC voltage with data logging. Does the Shelly Uni do this? TIGO is stating that optimizers are going off line due to my RSD setup.
  • Maple Leaf Power Wall

    Anybody try this battery? $1881 is USD.
  • Sol-Ark Tech Support not responding

    It's been 3 weeks since tech support last responded to my issue. Correspondence has been email. Will I get a better response if I phone? Can I ask for my case to be escalated. My installer has also contacted tech support. I feel they are giving simple suggestions because they have no answer. In...
  • Grid tied Sol-Ark 15K went off grid again 10/04/24

    I went on a 3 week trek to visit my sons. June 23, the Sol-Ark stopped importing and exporting from the grid. My home has been running on solar powered battery since then. The MySolArk app shows both grid lines have appropriate voltage. Sol-Ark recommended a power cycle reset, but not being...
  • Tigo optimizers on new Sol-Ark

    This will be interesting. The electrician has only installed 3 phase Sol-Ark. Stay tuned, install happens Thursday.. I already had to set the electrician straight. Not his fault, but install company only planned to grid tie my 15K. F no, I want to add batteries.
  • TIGO monitoring not updating

    I haven't had any new data since April 10 (4 days ago). During the day the TIGO server is nonresponsive. Anyone else experiencing this?
  • ESS Ramp Rate

    I'm updating my interconnect agreement to add batteries to my Sol-Ark 15k. The form asks for maximum ramp rate in KW/s for battery charge and discharge. I have no idea what that would be. It's not in the Sol-Ark spec sheet. I've sent an enquiry to Sol-Ark. Has anyone come across this? If you are...
  • MySolArk not sending notifications

    PowerView always sent Arc Fault notifications to my iPhone. MySolArk is not. I confirmed that notifications for MySolArk are turned on in my iPhone. Is there also a setting within the App?
  • Sol-Ark 15K dropping PV (resolved)

    I've been trying to resolve this since the system was installed 5 months ago. PV production goes to zero for approximately 5 minutes multiple times a day. Initially I thought it was an arc fault problem until I turned off arc fault and the problem continued. I submitted a support ticket to TIGO...
