Sunny side up please.
My sol ark is reporting about a 5x% efficiency and I wanted to share this information for educational purposes. Not because sol ark or anything is wrong with my system.
There are a couple photos attached.
You can see my panel is not balanced at all. I draw a lot more on one 120v leg than the other. I also can not export until my system passes inspection. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe once I am net metered the excess on one leg will be sold to the utility.
So if I have enough solar / battery production power I don't pay the utility. That has dropped my bill by about a hundred or two hundred dollars a month. I'm not going to work on figuring out exactly how much as I hope the net meter will change everything.
I just hoped this info could help people who are off grid and would benefit greatly having a balanced 120v load or understanding how important net metering is.
