Sol-Ark 5kw inverter

[Dave Z]

I just installed my new Sol-Ark 5kw inverter and observed the following on a cloudy day
- PV array power switch on, no power produced, DC light on
- 4 Fortress Power LiFIPO batteries connected in paralled, breaker turned on, battery voltage is 52.4vdc
- 240/1/60 grid breaker on, measured power at breaker ok, AC light on
-Load breaker turned on, NO POWER on load side of breaker
- Word OFF is displayed in center of screen.

Questions
- why do I not have voltage on my grid breaker?
- on a cloudy non power producing day does this inverter have passthru or does it draw load power from batteries and inverter charges batteries?
- why does the inverter show OFF?
- why is my NORMAL light not on?

No breakers trip, everything appears to be ok

Thanks

I don't know the Solark, but maybe it needs a real load (more than a meter). Do you have a load attached that you are trying to power? Is it setup to allow battery charging from the grid?

push a around switch on a left sided of a inverter to turn on a inverter.

I have no experience with the solark 5KW but when I read the manual it seems you somehow need to turn it on

Oh boy, hope this year goes better than so far
I have switches on each Fortress Power battery etc. and breakers inside the Sol-Ark I was blinded by
NOT turning on the switch in front of the inverter.
Amazing when you turn something on it works.
Thanks to all and have a Happy New Year!!
