Hello, I have two physical Sol-Ark 12 K units. 1 has 12000 watts of panels, one has 1920 watts. When is parallel setting there is a 3rd sudo plant created that combines the two plants so you can watch your system as one. in power view this sudo would be found under plant list. There are not a...

It has been a while, thought I had added a picture a while back. This is the BMS layout, along with Battery balancer that I ended up going with. Basically a couple of brackets bent as needed and some M3 Phillip's heads screws.

Today I brought on my forth 280 amp hour 48 volt battery pack. I updated the settings for the battery on my Sol-Ark 12K to reflect the new battery pack. Here they are, anyone have any thoughts on the current settings. I am using voltage, not % in my settings. Sorry for the small fount, not sure...

I never found a solution. My goal at the time was to not feed battery power to the grid side of my house, only actual solar power. At no time do I send any power back into the grid at all. Overtime I added 2 more 48 volt battery packs for a total of 3 48 volt 280 amp hour lifepo4 batteries. With...

I am saving money for another 12K. For now my single one seems to be covering things well. I would however like to spread the load and or have a fallback if one were to go bad.

You have 2 12K Sol-Ark's with 132 kwh, not sure I follow what you mean 56/54

Based on comments provided from forum users and the fact that I added another 48 volt, 280 amp hour pack for a total of 3, I am providing the latest Sol-Ark battery settings for review/discussion. As always let me know your thoughts.

Hello Does anyone know what these setting should be? This is what pops up when I try to update weather information in my Sol-Ark 12 K inverter. I have done some quick searches, not seeing any information on what the fields actually mean.

Update on the battery charging. Well as stated I was not getting the batteries charged. A friend and my brother looked at the charts provided, they both came to the conclusion that I was only using 1/2 of my charging power. In a Sol-ark 12K there are two MPPT controllers. With some wire removals...

There are two 48 volt battery packs, made up each of 16 EVE 280 amp hour batteries. Both battery packs have Over-Kill 100 AMP BMS. In the last day I have changed wiring around so that I can run 200 AMPS between inverter and Bus bars. Doing so allowed me to change the following setting to 185...

The CT sensors wrap around the incoming power to the house and detect the load the house is using, in my case I have 200 amp service and they are placed just above the main breaker. I included a picture of one, not the one I am using but allows you to see what I am talking about. These like...

I have been talking with Sol-Ark, they have made several adjustments. Things are improving, using more of the batteries, charging better... But I am still sending battery power to the on Grid side of house after solar hours are done. Really wish I could figure out how to send only extra panel...

CT sensors are located above main circuit breaker of main panel coming into house. The inverter detected the CT 's and does send power to the main house and it set for home only. It seems to be working as is should when the panels are providing power. The challenge I have been having is that the...

The 50 AMP connection allows electricity to go both way since the CT's were connected. The Transfer switch is there should I lose all power on the critical load side/off grid side (And in preparations for a 2nd Sol-ark). My real issue is that when the sun goes down, the battery takes over and...

Yes I do.

Hello All These are the battery settings on my Sol-Ark 12K. I feel like I am not using the batteries near there capacity. At this time I have two 48 volt 280 AMP Lifopo4 home made setup, with 100 amp overkill BMS and battery balancers. They never go lower then 3.2 volts and only get to 3.45...

I have setup a sol-ark 12K, with off grid side and have connection to on grid side. How do I use battery and solar only on off-grid side, yet keep the connection so I can feed power to the grid side for home use only? I have 2 48 volt lifepo4 banks of 280 amp hour batteries on the off grid side...

Has anyone used this feature, I can't seem to find any documentation on it. using the software on https://pv.inteless.com/plants to monitor / modify my sol-ark 12k.

I have a JW17-21S active equalizer setup on a 16S 48 volt battery pack. Other then no smoke when I hooked it up and two little lights, is there a proper way to see if the thing is really working? Is there some type of test process? The box came with no paper work, just aboard and some wires...

Hello So in the diagram below the battery show's 100% and yet there always seem to be power going to the battery. At this time the battery is there only for backup purposes. At some point when I get enough batteries I will take part of my house off-grid. I already have the loads panel for...

Well I guess I need to stop working on this stuff late at night, you are correct once tape was removed suddenly all looked good. Tested your hypothesis on other cells and sure enough they turned green in the same areas. I had not noticed that was the only cell I went over in part with the tape...

Hello I have 16 280 AMP CATL cells I got them all setup and ready to start my top balance when I noticed green fluid in one of the view windows, see attached picture. How much of a problem is this? What should I worry about here? At this time no fluids are leaking outside the casing, the other...

I will take a look at my settings. I am using 100 amp Overkill BMS at this time.

Using the holes at the mid point of the BMS and some short M3 phillips head bolts I was able to attach 2 metal strips (1 on each side of case). The metal strips were about an inch and 1/2 long with a hole on either end. I then got some plastic stand offs, that were an inch long. I then ran a...

I have a Sol-Ark 12K, trying to charge using street power (no panels yet) 48 volt 280amp EVE battery pack. Using an Overkill 16S 100 AMP BMS. The Sol-Ark when fist started will charge the batteries for about 1 minute and then stops the charge. I have the system setting for Lithium, which I...

Hello, does anyone have a OverKill/DGJBD 16S 100A BMS Case or suggestion on mounting one on the end of my 48 volt battery pack? The compression box has plywood ends that I would like to mount the BMS to.
