Re: [RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

[Jay via RE-wrenches]

Yes good call.  The other major brands already figured that out by bussing internally which brings its own sort of issues.  Jay On Oct 9, 2024, at 5:32 PM, Andrew Perkins <and...@greenwired.com> wrote:  Dont forget the Sol-Ark 15K Busbar kit.

And specifically the ones that don’t seem to play well. Jay On Oct 9, 2024, at 2:56 PM, Jason Szumlanski via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: HomeGrid works great with Sol-Ark. Closed loop comms reports battery SOC from BMS. Parallel stacks install easily. Customer support is competent and patient, in my experience. The best part is the ability to easily add batteries. On Sunday I had a client with two stacks of five batteries each call me in a panic ahead of Hurricane Milton. He wanted more capacity. We had them in stock. On Monday my team added three batteries to each stack on the fly since we couldn't do a roof install that day due to rain. We had it done in about 2 hours, and that included moving the stacks due to a height conflict with a piece of equipment. And now, 48 hours later, I'm looking out my home office window at the trees bent over. A tornado passed close by a few hours ago, debris pelting my windows, and a neighbor lost their lanai ceiling. Too close for comfort! But I have power, at least. :) Wish us luck.
