[RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

[Jason Szumlanski]

HomeGrid works great with Sol-Ark. Closed loop comms reports battery SOC
from BMS. Parallel stacks install easily. Customer support is competent and
patient, in my experience.

The best part is the ability to easily add batteries. On Sunday I had a
client with two stacks of five batteries each call me in a panic ahead of
Hurricane Milton. He wanted more capacity. We had them in stock. On Monday
my team added three batteries to each stack on the fly since we couldn't do
a roof install that day due to rain. We had it done in about 2 hours, and
that included moving the stacks due to a height conflict with a piece of
equipment.

And now, 48 hours later, I'm looking out my home office window at the trees
bent over. A tornado passed close by a few hours ago, debris pelting my
windows, and a neighbor lost their lanai ceiling. Too close for comfort!
But I have power, at least. :)

Wish us luck.
