Yup.all charged up for the storm ?
How many kWh did you go with?
20 KWH (4X5.12KWH)How many kWh did you go with?
Very nice…!20 KWH (4X5.12KWH)
I don't think Power View gives any indication that Lithium battery data is being used. The screen on your SolArk should display that and the displayed values should agree with Power view and those on the Lithium screen on the SolArk. Did you follow the instructions and follow the steps on the SolArk screen? I bought a special splitter so I could use Solar Assistant to read the data from the SolArk which includes the data from the battery when communicating.Comms not working.
lost my power this morning , running off battery now , minor thing i can not monitor it because the wifi is plugged into the battery but the camara is not oopsI lost grid power 45 minutes ago. The Sol-Ark switched to battery, but the only load it is seeing is the clock on my cook range. I'm still wired for standby generator via ATS. I could manually reverse the ATS, but the generator will be running anyway (for my neighbor).
This could be a long outage.
Here is the end goal. just need 2 more sets of batteries. All 3 Sol-Arks are in place.

Just curious, what does the camera have to do with the ability to monitor with WIFI?....wifi is plugged into the battery but the camara is not oops
camera points at the meter , this is a 12v system with a aims automatic transfer so i have cheap meters for batter and solarJust curious, what does the camera have to do with the ability to monitor with WIFI?
How did the inverter perform?My power was restored 9:23 this morning. I waited for an estimated restoration date before engaging my battery. It only discharged to 50% SOC. I'm waiting for the Sol-Ark to update PowerView, so I can see how my battery performed.
I found and corrected the comms problem. It was a defectice Cat5e cable that came with the batteries.
It performed well. I didn't run any heavy loads. 85 watts of idol current hurts. That's 10% of my typical load. Yeah, need more batteries. I could add another 20KWH, but my wallet says no.How did the inverter perform?
Now I guess you want more batteries huh?
Yea the idle draw high if you are only using 850watts of power.It performed well. I didn't run any heavy loads. 85 watts of idol current hurts. That's 10% of my typical load. Yeah, need more batteries. I could add another 20KWH, but my wallet says no.
Discharged 8.3KWH. SOC at the end of battery discharge was 54%.
No, I need UL9540 for AHJ.Yea the idle draw high if you are only using 850watts of power.
Routinely averaged 2500watts per hour with peaks of 20,000.
Idle draw doesn’t bother me much as I have plenty of battery.
I guess you not interested in making your own since you have those premades.
