[RE-wrenches] Fortress LFPs & ENVY 12kw inverter

2023-06-01 Thread Kirk Herander via RE-wrenches
Hello All, I am sizing my first Fortress system, 18.5kwh LFPs w/ their new ENVY inverter. Or would a Sol-Ark be a better fit? I understand both inverters are somewhat similar. Any opinions from the real-world of installs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- *Kirk Herander / **kirkh@vermont

Kirk, I have not tried the new Envy inverter, and at the moment am slightly reluctant to do so, mostly because I have gone all in on Sol-Ark/eVault Max setups for battery based systems and I hate having more and more different products to stay on top of. That being said, I attended an Envy webinar

This is incorrect. Deye does not make the ENVY. Contact me off list if you want to discuss Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 1, 2023, at 12:28 PM, Jay via RE-wrenches > wrote: > >  > Hi Kirk > > It’s the same Chinese company who makes both. Deye > > If I understand correctly sol ark’s excl

Hello, just an onion of an old person. I have needed a lot of tech help, I find Sol-Ark the best tech, So I would go with experiance. On Thu, Jun 1, 2023 at 11:19 AM Kirk Herander via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > Hello All, > > I am sizing my first Fortress system, 1

Kirk Personally I would go with solark that's what they do, make inverters not other stuff just like I would use Fortress for the battery because that's what they do, is it similar sure but why? If it's the same then go with a known product and track record, we are seeing this mre and more and that

Kirk, I was going to make the jump to Fortress Envy after the recent NABCEP conference. Seemed like a good way to go, i.e. one company to deal with and about same features as SA. When I went to purchase from well known (unnamed) dist, I was warned away due to unresolved issues with AC coupling.
