    Sol-ark 12k Help

    EV Charging starts at 10:30 pm. On the 12k that time slot the battery is set to 100% 9000w in case I want to charge powerpro from the grid but I have that disabled. My EV charger is on my main panel not my critical loads panel if that helps. Battery charge and discharge 185a per inverter.

    Sol-ark 12k Help

    I am having an issue when I'm charging my EV @ 40a my inverter is set to only use the grid during the time that I charge (off peak) but it seems to be pulling 10k from the grid and 2k from the battery no matter what. If I set the car to charge at 32 amps instead of 40a then it only pulls about...

    Sol-Ark-12K-P - Central TX - $3800

    I like the 15K and the 200 amp pass through is nice. It seems less complicated just to drop a 15K in.

    Sol-Ark-12K-P - Central TX - $3800

    With two 12ks You get one more MPPT and more continuous power 75 Amp's vs 62.5. Amp's with the 15k so there is that. I run two 12K all my mppts are full so I am using gen input AC couple enphase microinverters with one of my smaller arrays.

    EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    Is it possible that some of these come shipped with the new firmware already flashed? Can I get the firmware version from the display on the battery? The reason why I was asking is because on my solark it has communication and it's allowing 200 amp.

    Paralleling the EG4 PowerPro Wall battery.

    Yes I agree, I actually called them and they check to see if they could get a 4/0 cable in that connector. They said they could only get a 2/0.

    Paralleling the EG4 PowerPro Wall battery.

    I went through this as well they don't have any 4/0 connectors. Signature solar told me that those connectors are proprietary to that battery not standard amphenol. The connectors they sell are only 2/0 the other option you can order the connectors they have on signature solar website and...

    EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    My powerpro inverter communication cable was to short I need to make a new one. I checked the manual and I didn't see the pin out but I need to make a new cable. Does anybody have a pin out for EG4 Power pro to sol-ark 12K. Also what is the most up-to-date firmware version?

    Battery cable length - from Lynx distributor

    Why don't you lower the lynx equipment down cut the longer cable in half and move the inverters closer together?

    Deciding between Victron, Enphase and possibly Sol-ark. Input?

    I run 2 12ks I have not had any issues with them starting any loads. How about the EG418K with the power pro battery? I do like Victron. I have Victron gear in my RV and I would of had it in my house if it would of passed inspection. You do need to buy a lot more equipment with Victron. Where as...

    FOR SALE: Sol-Ark and Fortress Power eFlex 5.4 complete off grid system

    Instead of getting a 15K why not add another 12K to run in parallel? You will actually get more power. I'm running 2 12Ks stacked.

    Paralleling the EG4 PowerPro Wall battery.

    Paralleling the EG4 PowerPro Wall battery.

    I just had my system inspected in AZ they told me the batteries needed to be 3 ft apart unless the manufacturer says otherwise. I had to supply them with documentation from the manufacturer because my batteries weren't 3 feet apart. Now the question is what happens if you have a mix of...

    WTB: Sol-Ark 12K sold

    Yeah I think mine is a 2021-2022 12K-2P outdoor model Wi-Fi dongle on the side. Both of my inverters are running the current firmware. Generally with breakers if you want 100 amps continuous you use 125 amp breaker. I am not saying that it won't peak to 63 amps. The inverse of 0.8 is 1.25...

    WTB: Sol-Ark 12K sold

    I run 2 stacked 12ks only because I got a good deal on them. But 15k is better because the 12k only has 50 amp pass through were the 15k has 200amp. I just went through the process in AZ. AZ uses the CA list and rules. Also I did see some 12ks on here for sale. Here is My setup...

    Installing Sol Ark 15kw CT in Combo Main/Meter Panel

    I disconnected the CTs and reconnected them. I also re set up power view time of use settings now everything seems to be working properly. I have a tankless water heater in the main panel I was trying to cover some of that load. Thanks for your help.

    Installing Sol Ark 15kw CT in Combo Main/Meter Panel

    Sorry trying to mark these up on my phone. The CT location in blue on the diagram attachment is after all the loads before the meter. In the main meter combo panel photo the red circle is the grid input to the inverter which is going to the solar lugs on the bus bar going to the meter.

    Installing Sol Ark 15kw CT in Combo Main/Meter Panel

    The inverter connects where the lugs connect to the bus bar in front of the CTs. The breaker down below to the right is for the transfer switch inverter bypass for the critical loads panel. The CTs seem to add phantom loads to the inverter and it causes me to send battery power past the CTs even...

    Installing Sol Ark 15kw CT in Combo Main/Meter Panel

    The breaker at the bottom goes to a transfer switch for the subpanel so I can bypass the inverters. It won't pull power from the battery during TOU (demand) running it how you suggest is a good idea however it's doesn't have 200 amp pass through on a 12K. Solark is looking into a fix. I attached...
