What does YOUR system take to run itself? I know this can vary based on what loads you're powering. But has anyone taken the time to see what it takes just to keep their inverters, charge controllers (or AIO's) and batteries healthy before figuring their actual load? If you care to answer...

I'm strongly considering bailing on my Sol-Ark 12ks due to their self-consumption. But when preparing to do so I've seen 3 being sold in my area for such low prices, I'm struggling to let go of what I have due to the significant loss I'd incur. If people are bailing out of this product and...

I have for sale 10 Fortress eFlex 5.4 kWh batteries that are great if you have a massive solar array, you have a grid tied system and you're looking for battery backup or if you just want some pretty, "rugged" bricks that don't offer near the efficiency the manufacturer touts. Each battery can...

Hello forum members! I'm looking for a bit of feedback. We are running 2 Sol-Ark 12k's with 10 Fortress eFlex batteries in an off-grid format using almost 15kwh of PV. This winter, the parasitic load was killing us. What I've finally found out is that we have a parasitic draw of 30 watts for...

Our system includes 2 Sol-Ark 12kw's wired in parallel supported by 10 Fortress Eflex 5.4 kwh batteries in parallel for a total energy storage of 54 kwh. We've been working on this system over several months which included an upgrade of adding that 2nd Sol-Ark and 6 more batteries (a huge...

We recently built a 10kwh system with a Sol-Ark 12 and 4 eFlex batteries. This was a DIY project using equipment put together by NAWS. My husband and his two other electrician friends did not install the Victron Lynx Power In modules (2) that were included in the original order. I did not...

We built our own lifepo4 12v battery using 4 gradeA 280 AH EVE cells and a Overkill BMS. We have it all wired up and we can test without cables and get 12.78 volts but when battery cables are connected to the inverter, we get less than one volt. We can't figure out what else we need to try...

I was planning on installing a 10 kwh system on a barn with a metal roof with an underground feed to a nearby shop for use off-grid. I was told by one installer that I didn't need permits. I was sold a full system without discussion of any rapid shutdown necessities. I spoke with another...

We purchased a 10 kWh kit which includes 28 370 watt panels which are going to be fed to a 12kWh Sol-ark with eFlex batteries. The design document shows running 2 10 panels in parallel to MPPT1 and 1 8 panel section in series to MPPT2. My neighbor thinks we need to provide physical separation...

I had my system designed and an order put together in just a few hours today with Northern Arizona Wind & Sun. I'm elated with the service a man named James provided. I even received a discount to order with cash. They had all items in stock sans the battery wall mounts which are in transit...

Hi all! We had carefully reviewed a package through SunWatts for a 10kwh system using Rec360 panels, a Sol-Ark 12kwh inverter and were going to add a 18.5 Fortress Evault Lifepo4 battery. There were some serious downsides to this so we're looking for alternatives: 1 - Sunwatts is asking for...
