Peter,
I would be interested in knowing about your experience and any relevant settings. I contacted Sol-Ark and they said No-way. Maybe they were not aware or just don’t want the support hassle. It would be good to know for the next customer. For the current customer, I already order two Radians and 32 6P74S batteries.

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.

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.
