  • one MMPT using two strings, both a series of 10, may they face different directions, slightly?

    Okay, I have my Sol-Ark 15k up and running. Two MMPTs are being used and bring in 8700 watts of solar. All panels are REC and face the same direction, 190 degrees Southwest. These two MMPTs, each having 12 panels per MMPT are well balanced and producing better than expected in my current...
  • Sol Arc 15K Can the generator port be turned off and locked in the off position?

    I have a Sol Arc 15k. Installed with 9 KWH of solar. I am in a city of 330k people with a request for a grid tie. The Sol Arc is approved by my local electric company online as a recommended inverter. The city has also permitted the build. I have spent over 100k on two EV plus solar going...
  • Bluetti EP 500pro How to get more amps out of it?

    I have a Bluetti 500 pro. Currently it is powered by two MMPT strings (so both MMPTs in use) 3 panels of 300 watt Canadian Solar. Often I get about 1600 watts Max or so with good perfect sun and average about 1400 watts on per hour on a regular day about 5 hours full sun in a day. Battery...
  • Sol-Ark 15k and bidirectional charging to an EV

    Can a Sol-Ark 15k be used directly for bidirectional charging to an EV? The car in questions is a Volvo Ex 90 (107 KWH battery) with a port Type 2 Combo 2 (CCS). I would love to have this as a back up battery for the home. Would it even be possible to for the car to back up a battery already...
  • Enphase Microinverters, what is the failure rate?

    Enphase claims a failure rate of 0.05%. Of what, I have no idea? 0.05% per year, per hour or per KWH? What does 0.05% of blank mean? Sol Ark claims a failure rate of 0.1-1.0% per year after year one. I can quantify that, though the range is rather large. I have a Sol Ark 15k with one open MMPT...
  • MMPT management to limit the amount provided back to the grid in a grid tie

    I have Sol Ark 15k and 2 active mmpts . Is it possible to add third MMPT for only battery charging or off grid use and use other two for a grid tie (limit 10k grid tie)? My grid tie is only for 10kWH max. I wish to add another 5 KWH MMPT on the third position matching the other two. So if I...
