Has anyone figured out how to do this with a Sol-Ark (8k in my case): PV power should go to Load first, then when that's satisfied, the remainder should go to the batteries (until they reach 100%) and when that's satisfied, whatever remains should go to the grid. Oh, and this should all work in...

I have noticed on a couple of occasions now that while there was no grid failure, the Sol-ark 8k I have failed to supply power to the load panel connected to it for a fraction of a second. Enough to cause my Synology NAS and another low power computer that drives a home automation panel to...

I just connected my 4x Jakiper LiFePO4 battery set (100Ah Pro) to the Sol-Ark (not the DC side yet, just the CAN-bus to see if that worked -- Still waiting for proper DC cabling). It looks like the Sol-Ark pulled battery parameters from the Jakipers and set all voltages to 56V (float...

I'm new to solar storage (been running grid-tied for years, but no battery storage). But I have been driving EV's for a few years now. For those, they recommend charging to 90% or lower to extend battery life, and never discharge below 10-20% (the car's "BMS" manages that). I was thinking I'd do...

Probably a simple question — can you simultaneously charge a battery bank (LiFePo4 w. BMS) while the (hybrid) inverter (Sol-Ark) is connected and running as well? This would be a scenario where there isn’t enough solar to charge the batteries during a power outage but I don’t want to shut down...

I'm about to set up a system with a Sol-Ark 8k hybrid inverter and 4 Jakiper LiFePo4 batteries (100Ah each @ 48V). In the spring when the ground thaws I'll be putting in an additional 5kW solar array that will be connected to the Sol-Ark. My use cases for this system are: 1. Solar inverter...

Hi all, Been using these Jakipers (100Ah 48V, Pro) for a while now (but just as UPS batteries) and about ready to connect the solar panels to my Sol-Ark 8k and make it into a true solar inverter. While I was using these batteries in UPS mode, I did cycle them a bit (from 75-90% and back to...

Hi Everyone, Newbie here -- when it comes to battery storage and inverters. So far I've only done grid-tied Enphase. Hopefully a simple question -- I'm buying a Sol-Ark 8k and 4 Jakiper Pro 100Ah 48V LiFePo4 batteries. The Jakiper batteries show a max. of 100A discharge current -- with 4 in...
