    Ok so I have kind of an odd layout and I’m trying to make sure I connect my Sol-Ark correctly for my weird setup- don’t fry anything or myself. I have called two local electricians and neither will work with the Sol-Ark unless I give them explicit instructions because they aren’t familiar with...

    I’m putting together my SOL-Ark 15k system and will have a server rack of Ruxiu batteries. This will be a grid tied/hybrid system but I’m doing it all DIY. I want to make things to code even though I’m not going to permit it. My question is regarding the cable from the battery rack to the...

    Ferrites buzzing? Safe?

    Ok so it was suggested I install ferrites on my AC incoming lines to help protect again energy spikes down the line. I also installed a whole home surge protector but said this will assist that as well. So today I install 3 large ferrites on my utility incoming wires (bottom of pic 3rd one...

    Sol-Ark 15k and panel wiring

    I think I done messed up…. ( Note: I can’t physically put anything together until after my building inspection) I’m buying and laying out everything for an upcoming install. Got the Sol-Ark 15k, got the Iron Ridge mounting, the panels I was going to buy went away (out of stock forever). I came...

    Mounting questions

    Ok so I’ve searched the forum and looked at some YouTube videos but I still have a few questions. I’m building a new shop and I’m going to have the roofers put down IronRidge flashfoot 2 and a conduit. I’ll be completing the rest of the install AFTER final inspection of the building. I don’t...

    Sol-Ark 15KW from the latest video

    Capacitors?

    I local guy suggested I put 1 or 2 large caps (like the high end stereo kind) in line between my battery and my inverter to lessen the sudden draw on my batteries when I turn on a large load like an AC. What are your guys’ thought? On its face it makes sense to me but I’m not sure it’s worth it...

    Beginner question

I know there are step downs to handle the trailer 12v but I don’t think those are heavy duty enough to handle inverter loads are they? I’m looking to switch to lithium and like the...
