[RE-wrenches] Real World Sol-Ark experience

  We have a customer with a Sol-Ark and Tesla car batteries. The system, once the fine tuning was finished has performed great. Sol -Ark was very helpful even though this was not a traditional out of the box application. They were great with us as well as the customer ( who kept playing with the programing ).  The system resides in a trailer with 3.5 KW of solar on top, 1 Sol-Ark 8 KW inverter and 80 KW of Tesla’s car batteries inside. It is a unique setup and as I said, Sol-Ark was great with guidance and support.

Thanks for the quick reply! The battery is actually a Tesla Model S sedan car battery. Each brick is 21.6V nominal. 

I tried to get support from Sol-Ark.

The current plan is to use two radians. I have XW and Radians in my own my system.  I just wanted know about the Sol-Ark. I love that inverter on paper and was looking to get one. 

Thank you,

Maverick

Well, can I edit bulk, absorb and float to 50.5 and LBCO <=40V?

Asking for a friend...

Thank you,

Maverick

Hey Wrenches,

I have installed ~15 Sol-Ark 8k’s over the last year and have a few 12k’s lined up for the coming month.  I have basically fallen head over heels for the product and the company.  The machine itself works beautifully and is quick and easy to install (no external cc’s !).  I also believe that the thoughtful clean sheet design of the machine has allowed it to surpass the functionality/efficiency of most of its competitors.  In addition, Sol-Ark is constantly improving their firmware, and increasing their feature list via over the air updates.  Safe to say I haven’t installed a Radian since my first Sol-Ark.  

I’d be happy to answer any specific questions you may have. 

Aloha,

Aloha Wrenches,

I am starting to explore Sol-Ark's product line. The last mention of them on the

list was April of 2019 with nobody having actual tested or installed one. 

Anybody have experience with them ? 

Aloha,

Lou Russo
