    Sol-Ark charge/discharge efficiency?

    I have Foretress eFlex batteries on a 15K, and notice that the charge/discharge efficiency seems to be pretty bad according to the data. I do have some cooling fans coming directly off the battery bus so that is part of the issue, but it can’t be using that much power. It looks like my...

    Sol-Ark 15K output limited?

    I'm on my first day running my house behind a 15K, and have a couple questions. First, prior to today, the SA was connected to solar, batteries, and grid (via a main panel that breaks out a grid connection to the SA, and one to my bypass transfer switch). So all the SA saw was the grid...

    Sol-Ark TOU Off days?

    If I setup my TOU settings for M-F and leave Sat/Sun unselected, what will the behavior be on those days?

    Experience with CA SGIP?

    Hopefully starting an install soon, and trying to get realistic expectations for CA SGIP. I'm planning 16.4kWh of battery, it looks like that would put me in the 'Large Scale >10kW' group rather than the 'Small Residential <10kW' group? And I don't qualify for any of the additional rebate groups...

    Sol-Ark/portable generator bonded neutral

    Hello, I am researching for our install, and having trouble with a question on portable generators with the Sol-Ark. My install should follow their standard wiring diagram (below, with added markups). The plan would be to wire a L14-30 generator inlet directly to the Gen input of the Sol-Ark...
