    Does the SOL-Ark 8k have a similar feature (Power Assist) as in the Victron Multiplus II?

    I need split phase to run my well pump. even tho my electric water is 9000 watts, I'll go ahead and disconnect the top heating element shouls still be able run it on 120 Volt.

    I read somewhere that once the UL is approved that a decal will be sent out to the Multiplus II 5K owners, do you know if this true? I appreciate your YT channel, have learned a lot about your Victron equipment.

    Gotcha! I apologize for the incorrect information.

    I originally considered that option earlier using a 48v charger, but hoping the Sol-Ark would automatically switch to one or the other or both (solar/generator) when load increases for the moment or two. This is still for an off-grid setup.

    I'm trying to decide to go with DIY solar system using all Victron's components including (2) Multiplus II 48v, 5kva inverters/charger or the Sol-Ark 8K all-in-one converter. I'm not certain if the Sol Ark has the capability (in an off grid system) to have a 3500 watt 120v portable generator...

    How can I tie a solar inverter in with my Westinghouse igen 3500/4500 120v inverter generator for off-grid system?

    I'm considering installing a solar energy system, my funds are limited to $5000. What i'm considering is the EG4 6000XP inverter and adding two EG4 LIFEpo LL 48 volt, 100AH server rack batteries, and later, hoping to install a small solar array. For the time being, I'd like to know if it's...

    A new solar energy adventure for me. EG4 6000XP or Anker F3800

    My well pump is rated 230v, max amps is 8 which will give me 1840w. For the water heater, I can allow it to warm up the water in the morning while the water pump is off, while taking my short shower, turn off the water heater for rest of the day, turning the water pump back on. A water heater...

    A new solar energy adventure for me. EG4 6000XP or Anker F3800

    I’m debating between using the Anker F3800 power station (3,840WH/6000, 240V, and adding 1 Eg4-LL storage battery or an Eg4 6000XP inverter while adding 1 or 2 Eg4 server rack batteries. The Anker power station has 1 major drawback for me being the 240v outlet cannot be used while charging with...
