I will be receiving eight 48V 100A server rack batteries in the next week. I am trying to decide between buying or making my own rack. Do the batteries need space between them for ventilation/dispersion of heat, or will they be good to mount directly adjacent to each other? Thanks in advance.

I am trying to decide between running 2 Sol-Ark 8K's vs. 1 Sol-Ark 15k The cost difference is $1900 (2-8k's are more expensive) I know most of the spec differences, but am looking for opinions that maybe I am missing. I am leaning toward a single Sol-Ark 15K

I am preparing to hook up my battery banks (2 banks, each w/4 100A 48V 5.12kWh server rack batteries) to my Sol-Ark 15k inverter. According to Sol-Ark (I emailed support twice to verify), I only need 2/0 cable for each bank. Can anyone triple check this for me before I buy the cables? I will be...

Hi, Although I have learned a lot from research and this forum, I am still pretty new to this. I finally was able to purchase 8 - 48V LiFePO4 server rack batteries (5.12 kWh each) to use with my Sol-Ark 15k. The batteries come with 8 inch 2AWG cables per unit. My questions are: 1) Is 2AWG...

I was going to purchase 6, but in researching, 8 seems be more appropriate. If so, what would be the best way to connect these?

Hello, I live in Mexico and the options are slim compared to the US. I am trying to put a system together with a Sol-Ark 15k and 6-8 100A 5.12kWh server rack LiFePO4 batteries, but can't seem to find a reasonable price on things - especially the batteries. I really was hoping to get 6-8 EG4...

I know (now) that diagonal wiring w/busbars is preferred - especially for large battery racks - but I didn't realize it until AFTER I wired everything. I have 2 banks of four 100A 48V server rack batteries. I wired it with the lead coming from the CENTER of the bus bar (for both - and +)...

I just ordered my 48v 100A server rack batteries. I also have a Club Car 48v golf cart (and charger). Can I safely use the Club Car charger to charge my server rack batteries? I figured, I could buy a Club Car charger receptacle to then connect to the battery terminals. I believe the charger is...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, but have been watching Will's videos for years. I live on the Caribbean Coast in Mexico and have been wanting & planning to put together a backup system for a while now. I know enough to be dangerous, so I need advice to find out what is best for my needs/wants. For...

For any other expats or anyone living in México, have you found any decent vendors? Most of the ones I have found sell outdated equipment and/or have ridiculously inflated prices. I'd really like a Sol-Ark 15k Invertor and LG4 or SOK batteries, but am willing to compromise if necessary. I'm in...

My Inverter and batteries are almost ready to go "live" as soon as my panels are installed. I have 1 issue to resolve...I am not sure how to insulate my (tinned, copper) battery bus bars for safety. I will attach pictures. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. I live in...

Has anyone tried these wall mount Jakiper Powerwall batteries? https://jakiperbattery.com/product/powerwall/

OK - Forgive my stupidity, but It is going to be a week or more before I get my SOL-ARK 15k hooked up to the grid. Meanwhile, I have connected my batteries and solar panels. My question is, can I safely power up my 15K via my batteries (leaving the PV input off) in order to set parameters and...

Hi again, I defer to the expertise of many on here who have guided me so far... Because I live in Mexico, I don't have as many things available to me as in the U.S. I have found copper bus bars, but they not tinned. Because I live waterfront on the Caribbean Sea, the salt air rusts and...
