Sol-Ark pushed an update to my 12K last night. Yesterday it was overcast and my system produced ~10kW, today was super clear and sunny and it produced ~4kW. Here are the graphs of the Solar production from the 2 days. It seems like something is up. They are trying to blame the EG4 Communications...

I'm considering using the new Sol-Ark optimizers on a new build. It looks like they use 48V off the battery terminal to produce the permission to operate signal. I'm thinking through different ways to provide the 48V to "Dark Start" the system in case the batteries are drained and the grid is...

I posted this in the Beginners Corner but didn't get any responses, so I'm trying here as well. I'm looking at getting a Sol-Ark 12k and 24 - Solarever 410w panels. I have 2 roof areas, one can fit 14 panels and the other 10 panels. I'm thinking of doing 7S2P on one and 10S on the other going...

I'm trying to find racking for my installation, but I can't find anyone local that will sell to me, they only sell to contractors and shipping is too expensive to buy online. I was initially looking at IronRidge XR100, but I'm open to options if I can acquire them. I'm in WA, thanks.

I'm looking at installing a new solar system with about 10kW of panels, batteries (probably EG4 LifePower4), and a generator. This would also be grid-tied with 1:1 net metering. I like the all-in-one concept and am going back and forth between the EG4 8k and Sol-Ark 12k. Obviously, the big...
