    Sol-ark + batrium canbus integration workaround until its supported

    From Seplos directly (via Alibaba). Unsure but it seems like this model size (280a - 304a support) is used by a number of vendors (EEL, Seplos, Apexium) A review / build of the latter was done recently by a couple folks: Appears they all use similar BMSs but I guess you could ask them to...

    Sol-Ark Output vs Electrical Bill

    The CTs come already included as part of the Sol-Ark inverter. If missing / stolen by installer Sol-Ark should be able to sell you replacements

    I will miss the relay option that the Batrium has since I believe Seplos does not offer that at this time.

    Sol-ark + batrium canbus integration workaround until its supported

    I believe the latest version v3 has active balancer option, see Andysgarage YT channel, has a review on them. I have the version before it, passive balancer, similar to my current Batrium. In short yes but you could do just a couple, one per 16s2p. Yes, I be.I’ve out of the box it supports DEYE...

    Sol-ark + batrium canbus integration workaround until its supported

    Yes but I have some pending changes, I will be moving my bank into the Seplos Mason kits & use the Seplos BMS. Main reason is space limitations in expanding my storage, Mason kit format will work better in my situation. My model is an indoor (1.1.2.2).

    EG4 new AIO rated 12K output and 18kPV aka "EG4-18Kpv-12LV"

    Man.. there seems like there is no love lost between Watts, Sol-Ark and SS.. just read that Sol-Ark will not put EG4 battery family on there “approved” list to work with their inverters… duh.. last I knew CanBus spec is open source and not proprietary. Lame, must be shaking in their boots with...

    BX / armored cable vs EMT connection

    Redoing my setup and got a 6x6 36” wireway to help clean up the connections to my sol-ark 12k. Thinking about reusing the original BX cable sheathing from the wireway to the inverter vs. buying EMT. Was searching the nec 2020 code and did not come across any call outs in not using BX but I...
