Due diligence on Sol Arc. I would look at them harder if I were you!

SolArk, but I'll have to include that in my proposals. It sounds like
they've really gathered quite a following. Thanks, Kienan

correction Both the 8 and 12kw are 9 kw inverters In off grid mode
according to the specs. For grid selling the 12kw is 12 kw. Jay Peltz

we've found
SolArk to be SOLID!! .. And yes 8 inv yield about 96kW, with a TON of surge

I also suggest the Sol-Ark 12's. Extremely efficient,
simple to program, does a wonderful job in either ac coupling, stand alone
or pure off grid and terrific customer support.

Sol-Arks would be possible, you
can link 8 inverters.

I'd
suggest giving the crew at Sol-Ark a quick call @ 972-575-8875 with their
12kw unit. Not sure what their max number of inverters are.

Hey all,
I'm designing a microgrid sized off-grid system for somebody, and I'm just
wondering if anyone knows of any issues with the following designs...
The client says he needs 70 kW. His load data looks pretty solid, so I'm
sticking to using that number as a minimum, at least during the initial
proposal stage. I only know of two possible equipment options for this size
range...
* I think I can use up to 10 Outback Radians, for up to an
80 kW system. Are there any bugs or problems with using this many inverters
on one hub? I know I've read about issues with selling to the grid, but
that's not an issue, this is off-grid.
* I know that the SMA cluster box
with sunny islands can allow for up to a 72 kW system. Do you know of any
bugs or problems with this system?
Are there any other options that anyone
would suggest? Schneider's website says they can only do up to 61 kW, and
Victron can only do up to 60 kW.
I know that the Outback system would
yield a 240/120 Split-Phase system and that the SMA would yield a 208/120
3Ø system, but this doesn't really matter either way for this job.
Thanks so much,
Kienan
