I just bought a complete kit with a Sol-ark 12K inverter, with ten 365 watt solar panels mounted to my garage roof and a Bigbattery Kong Elite 15Kwh battery.
We just completed the install last week and pretty much have things up and running. To me the most head scratching things are programming the battery settings and TOU settings.
We live in sunny southern California and our electrical rates can be crazy high. Super off peak price is 9 cents per Kwh but our off peak rates are 31 cents per Kwh and our on peak rates are a whopping 56 cents per Kwh!
We have it set to "limited to home mode" and have CT sensors on the main power lines coming in. Also set up rapid shutdown with Tigo units and transmitter.
Next time I will try to get some screen shots of my Solark Settings.

Attached are some initial photos. I will put in my settings later.1.jpeg2.jpeg4.jpeg5.jpeg6.jpeg7.jpeg8.jpeg
 
With 12k Sol Ark you can put 20-25 more PV and 2-3 more battery, so your SCE will be $0 .
 
I've got 500 pictures of my setup on my phone but I locked my account trying to login from it, so here's some imaginary pictures of my system until the computer gods decide i'm worthy to login to my own account on my phone.
