[RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k

[Jerry Shafer]

Wrenches
The new solark 15 has a 200 amp rated contactor this is so if you want to
have whole home pass through you can but if you only have an inverter then
use that as your starting point and if the genny is contributing then add
that is, you do not need 2/0 for a single 15 k off grid but you may grid
tied. this opens up other issues that are not part of this conversation
like multiple 15 and 3/0 grid tied remember KIS!
