[RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 12 integration

[Maverick Brown]

Ron

What is the primary goal?

To get more power on your loads?

To get more grid export?

I have installed a bunch of outback products and you can’t beat the surge capacity and longevity. As you well know.

Solark has an excellent grid zero feature with CTs. Outback and Solark both will work with the HomeGrid batteries. 

Solark will be closed loop and outback will be just fine open loop.

Do you have a generator in the mix?


Thank you,

Maverick

I know it’s redundant to have the micros and the Sol-Ark but I also have a separate system with nearly 4kW off-grid, charging batteries. The off-grid part of the system is using an Outback 3648 dual inverter stack with a 12 year old bank of 4kS25 Rolls (48v) batteries. The Homegrid batteries would replace the Rolls so there would only be lithium batteries in the mix.
