I use a Morningstar relay driver and 48 VDC relays to drop loads as the
battery voltage drops. It works fine, and avoids the necessity of
complex electronics.

We have two Sol-Ark / Fortress deployments just finished/in progress and
one uses seven Lumin panels for load shedding and the other has SPANs. In
retrospect the Lumin project should have used SPAN since it was a new
construction project and the Lumin is more of a retrofit product in my
opinion.
Aloha Howie,
The Lumin Smart Panel has worked well for us.

Software is simple and tech support was on point. The app works well also.
Bonus...you can remotely monitor power consumption on each controlled load.
Two minor hang ups:
1. Having to run a separate "grid
Howie:
Segregated load distribution. Simple, automatic.
I don’t get why they put 200 amp pass-through on an inverter that can only
produce 62.5 amps.

SPAN Panel, or
you can try Generac 7006 automatic load shed device (100A)

Or G7000 (50Amp)
I’ve heard they work with other inverters, not just GENERAC only, but of
course you’d have no warranty when mixing brands.

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out best options to control loads in a Sol-Ark15k
battery backup residential system. It's been quite a few years since I've
set up an automatic load control, and never with a Sol-Ark. The Sol-Ark
will output to the main breaker panel, so no separate "backed up"
