[RE-wrenches] Parallel Homegrid Stack'd Busbar

Morning all

 

  You may also want to look at the Victron products. They have a 1000 amp version called the Lynx distributor.

Note that MidNite now also makes 2000A and 500A versions of their BCB. With two Sol-Ark 15k you do need to use the 1000A version with 275A each inverter. I can also confirm that you do need to use both of the battery terminals in the Sol-Ark 15k for full power, or the Homegrid bus bars that Jason shows.

Lloyd,

 

Homegrid makes a busbar to combine the two terminals in the Sol-Ark 15k so it can accept a single 4/0 cable and retain the full output capacity. Apparently, Homegrid is the only battery on the market with the output capacity to do this.

Hi Maverick,

 

Per tech support, you need to buss battery output(s) to both input breakers to get the full 275 Amp output.

 

Best regards,

Hi Jason,

 

The Sol-Ark 15k has dual battery input terminals so they can be combined right inside.  This could be a good option to consider.

 

Thanks

I recommend the Victron Lynx Power In or the Lynx Distributor. 

Thank you,

Hi all,

 

I'm doing my first installation with two 24 kWh Homegrid stacks. They will feed two Sol-Ark 15k. I'm seeking recommendations on busbars for connecting this up in the most elegant way possible.

 

Pictures speak 1,000 words, so if you have any I would appreciate it (off-list is fine).
