Hi all, new to forum and to solar. I am about to pull the trigger on hybrid system and battery but wanted to poll the experience on the forum. I am already approved by AHJ and Utility for EG4 18k plus EG battery (30kwh rack) with 14kw array but am second guessing myself. Questions to this forum:
1) Is there a meaningful reliability difference with Sok Ark?
2) My design seeks to offset (but not eliminate) peak usage by discharging batteries over peak hours. Can I control the amount of battery discharge in each hour with utility providing the additional as necessary e.g. battery discharge at 6kwh even though demand is 10kwh (I want to avoid full discharge in the first hours of peak and then getting high peak usage charges for the later hours). Peak usage is up to 10kwh.
3) The EG4 doubles the warranty when batteries are used with the 18k. I would assume this is significant for users?
4) Any other major differences (other than UI etc)
Many thanks
