Can someone explain why my sol-ark is beeping at me after about an hour of full 9k battery power. Shouldn’t the inverter be able to handle this? My cables are properly sized. I’m unsure where exactly it’s getting this temperature reading to begin with. Any help is much appreciated.

Just out of curiosity of seeing this big red notice in the manual, what would happen if the Sol-Ark's loads out breaker would be fed into a main service panel instead of a dedicated sub-panel?

So last year I bought 40kw of used Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) Toshiba Scib modules. I got a great deal on the batteries so was looking for an inverter to pair them with. The voltage range on my batteries are not common, however, so I did a lot of research before buying an inverter. The...

The above image is from the Sol-Ark manual. It shows a hot red wire going from a breaker in the transfer switch to the breaker in the main panel. However, when watching Gain Solar’s video on wiring a critical loads panel here... It seems that he does not retain a breaker in the main panel to...

So if I'm understanding the Limited to Home mode correctly, the Sol-Ark will use PV (and battery under time of use settings) to power the home panel while using the grid to fill in when needed. This would be ideal for me since I do not want to deal with a grid-sell contract. My question is...

So I wanted to share a little about the 12kw ground mount array I've been putting together. I think it's a winner, as far as costs go, but may not be for everyone in every type of situation. Still, I hope this serves as inspiration for those looking to cut costs and do things on their own...

I’m hoping to be able to fish 8 10-gauge wires from PV array to Sol-Ark 12k and parallel at its dual mppt controllers instead of paralleling at array and fishing 4 wires. My reasoning is that there will be less energy loss over the 200+ foot run. Just not sure how easy it would be to fish 8...

So my system design is a bit unconventional since I'm building it around 40KW of used LTO modules that came from used EVs. Each of the 36 modules will be paralleled into two separate Square D QO load centers, each with a dedicated 2 pole breaker. I'm using two load centers because each will...

The panels I'm looking at are 32 of of these 400W Jinko brand in 4 strings of 8 panels (12.8KW). https://store.santansolar.com/product/jinko-400w/ The Sol-Ark 12k listed here...

All of the railing I've seen is installed on the peaks of the the metal sheeting and I was wondering if there's railings that are secured in the valleys. The metal roofing on my barn is secured in the valleys where the metal touches the wood below the sheets. I could install on the peak, but...

Was wondering if there's a good video or write up on battery safety out there. I'm about to start working with some used cells and am hoping for some good resources. Thanks.

I will preface with my goals and intentions. I'm looking to take most of my farm and buildings off-grid with the possibility of being fully off-grid if I can get a micro-hydro system running in the winter. The array will be installed on a large barn roof that faces east and thus will need to...

Currently I'm on grid, looking to take half of my farm off-grid. The way it's currently wired on the grid is 0 AWG wires coming from the meter box to my 200 amp house electrical panel and a 2 AWG wires from the meter box to the barn/workshop electrical panel. The barn/workshop are what I'm...

So I’ve been parsing through the internet to find info on this battery technology as there are some used Toshiba SCIB units available on e-bay. There's a lot to like of LTO technology if you can overcome some of the hurdles. The hurdles seem to be price, BMS, space, and odd voltage attributes...
