[RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

[jay]

Thats all super helpful, appreciate the advice everyone. 

I’ve not used the sol ark 15 and just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything about battery options.

And specifically the ones that don’t seem to play well.

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.
