Re: [RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

I like the Homegrid and the Sol-Ark communication seems perfect. However, the conduit entry for a code compliant installation is not logical at all, very awkward if you want it in conduit. Not sure what the intent was for a US installation to be inspected. Also, its a bit unclear how to ground i

Re: [RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

To clarify, there IS closed loop comms between Sol-Ark and EG4, but the problem is the batteries mess up settings in the Sol-Ark that can cause erratic behavior. Sol-Ark recommends against implementing closed loop. It could plausibly work in some simple scenarios. But I don't physically connect it

Re: [RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

Good to know they don’t closed loop communicate, definitely preferably but not that big a deal in the end. So is the sol ark building a SOC or reading the battery SOC but it’s not able to use it for charging algorithm?I probably have either what I’ve sold or advised 200 x 5 kWh blocks or some versi

Re: [RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

Yes good call. The other major brands already figured that out by bussing internally which brings its own sort of issues. JayOn Oct 9, 2024, at 5:32 PM, Andrew Perkins wrote:Dont forget the Sol-Ark 15K Busbar kit.Andrew PerkinsGreenwired P: 707-923-2001 ext. 1001150 #1 Evergreen RdRedway, CA 9556

Re: [RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

I'm watching for responses with interest. Great question. We usually put a Jbox very close to the battery and use two glands to bring the cables in. I have a situation right now with a HomeGrid stack that has temporary cables run to it, and I need to protect the cables over a 10 foot run to the in

Question for all you Homegrid installers…has anyone found a succinct way to run conduit from the battery enclosure to the Sol Ark? On Wed, Oct 9, 2024 at 7:39 PM Jason Szumlanski via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > Jay, > > I should mention I have a couple of customers w

Re: [RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

Jay, I should mention I have a couple of customers with big EG4 LifePower battery banks (i.e. 120kWh+, 80kWh, etc) and Sol-Arks. The clients purchased the batteries directly, so I didn't have a choice. I will say that the systems are performing flawlessly, but forget about closed loop comms and SO

Re: [RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

Thats all super helpful, appreciate the advice everyone. I’ve not used the sol ark 15 and just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything about battery options. 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: [RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

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
