[RE-wrenches] Sol-ark without batteries

[scot.arey at solarcentex.com]

There is no backup if there are no batteries with a Sol-Ark. You just have a grid-tied inverter that is one step away from being a robust battery backup system.

Hi William,

 

I think my opinion would be yes, but why? We have a few no-battery installs, but they don’t preform well in grid outage scenarios. If the client is looking for future battery back-up, but not ready to invest just yet, it’s an option. Don’t expect seamless grid forming output with an outage. Also, don’t expect to connect a generator via Sol Ark for pass through during and outage. 

 

My $0.02 is to convince the client to tag on a battery, albeit minimal capacity. 

 

Kindly,

 

Chris

Yes, we just did one.  Chris

Friends: 

 

Can the Sol-ark 15 be installed without batteries in grid-tie mode?

 

I have been told the answer is yes but I’d like confirmation. 

 

Thanks in advance.
