Hi,
I recently had a power outage of 4-5 days in Northern CA, and our sok48v six stack (31kw) + solark15k kept us running the entire time, even with lots of rain using the 8kw solar array and currently the external generac lp is not working. Might be looking to buy another solark 15k and parallel the two; but looking to save some cash on the battery side.
I have a friend who is using the aolithium batteries with his solark 15k (20kw) and he has had zero problems with them for 8 months. They appear to have a descent bms and have precharge resistors like the 48v sok batteries w/ bms. It's about $4200 for 20kw - quite a deal w/ the bms.
Does anyone have any concerns about the aolithium's here? It seems like they are nearly 1/2 the cost of SOK 48v rackmount.
While my 48v SOK rackmounts have been going for six months w/ zero issues, spending another $8k on batteries to work with a secondary solark 15k is not ideal. I'd like to be around $11k for the whole upgrade when adding another 20kw of batteries and the secondary solark 15k. Going to be upgrading the pv this summer from 8kw to 20kw. We have an EV as well that is power hungry.
Any experience of suggestions would be appreciated, I am assuming I can run two different battery banks off the two solark 15k's even if they are in parallel.
