The Sol-Ark inverter is battery agnostic, allowing you to use lithium batteries with open loop communication. If you prefer to use a battery with closed loop communication, you can refer to the list below that have a handful of some battery manufacturers we fully support in closed loop communication. For a full list you can refer to our battery partners page on our website<https://www.sol-ark.com/solar-installers/battery-partners/> that list batteries we fully support in closed loop communications. These batteries have been tested and approved to ensure compatibility and meet our functionality standards with the Sol-Ark inverter. We continue to work with battery vendors, that are approved and also not approved.
While use of non-approved batteries may not, by itself, void Sol-Ark’s standard limited warranty, because of significant operational and functional issues that have arisen with non-approved battery vendors, Sol-Ark determined that it does not offer technical support for non-approved batteries. As a result, Sol-Ark will not provide technical support for non-approved batteries installed or used with Sol-Ark inverters. Sol-Ark will otherwise continue to offer and provide the industry leading technical and customer support for which it is known. Some of the listed manufacturers offer outdoor rated enclosures to use with their batteries. I recommend reaching out to these manufacturers to see what options may be best for your installation.

Just installed an AIO/Pflo16. The build quality and attention to detail make Sol-Ark look like what I've always considered them to be, CCC. Had one glitch and Rick and Logan were there for me immediately. There's nothing like talking to an engineer that designed their gear. We'll be installing a few more of these in GT/BB and OG contexts and one larger three phase BB system in the next month or so. I have a really good feeling about this inverter and battery pairing.

I have high hopes for many projects with Powerflo's. Hard to believe we can finally offer a battery solution with so many positive attributes by a trusted partner like Midnite for just $.25 a watt hour on the retail level. Discover has been saying it for a bit on some of their marketing materials but I finally now feel that lead is nearly dead for the majority of our installations.

Still learning to finess the program structure, but the integration was plug and play and flawless. No internet at site yet and the internet monitoring app isn't released yet for general use, but the Bluetooth app works well and is fairly clear. The batteries are Pylon compliant and are said to be totally compatible with Sol-Ark, though I haven't tried it yet. 2 more systems going in soon.

Appears to be a true game changer but have not received my first shipment yet for a full review.

And no, LA is not a option for this system.
