Can't believe that Sol-Ark is charging $14750 for the 30Kw version. 60Kw version is $19750.

Sol-Ark is always over priced.
Nothing new.

Cost of UL listing and USA liability if the product causes a fire.

Sure lol

Lol... . victron prices...
Well... Actually.. not.
15kw quattro is roughly $6.5-7k
You'll need 3.
Then the MPPT (@ $1000 each)
And some other stuff .
$25-30K....

But solark is getting close to that price range

Are they also anywhere near as good?
Any known installations in Marine?

Where failure is kinda life&death situation, so not really an option.
(Ok, everything can fail)

For a 3 phase system, 30kw, it's not that crazy prices.

Some part might be liability, I guess it's more taking responsibility for extensive QA testing.

As result they do get UL listing, and lots of other "green light" ..

Might even be an interesting option
(A friend is looking for a powerful setup and at this moment considering Victron. Also because victron has service in Thailand) (global actually)


Edit:

Crap... The strange USA voltages .. 120-208v ??

Sad news for the rest of the globe.
Apparently only for America's

Does anyone know if the Deye version, even when the datasheet says "Rated Input/Output Voltage/Range(V): 220/380V，230/400V", it can still run in the north american 480/277 voltage?

edit:
I found this on the Deye 50kw manual...
In the "grid settings" there's an option that says "UL1741 & IEEE1547", that might change the setting to accept 480/277, right?
