Sol-Ark 12K Hybrid Inverter/Charger Pre-Wired System
This is the outdoor-rated version of the Sol-Ark 12K Hybrid Inverter System. It incorporates a battery-based inverter, charge controller, display with remote monitoring, auto generator start, load center with breakers, rapid shutdown, and WiFi connectivity all into one pre-wired system enclosed in a single housing - but with this version, the housing is rated for outdoor installation.
The Sol-Ark 12K Hybrid Inverter System has it all and does it more efficiently than the competition.
Sol-Ark's 12K solar + storage solution simultaneously manages power to and from the PV array, the battery bank, the grid, a backup generator, and your loads. It supports 9kW of continuous power for off-grid production, and up to 9kW continuous for grid-tied production.
Being pre-wired with so many system components already integrated, Sol-Ark's 12K hybrid inverter makes a great choice (and an easy installation) for off-grid, grid-tie, or battery backup solar installations. Up to eight of the 12K systems can be stacked in parallel.
In addition to the easy installation of the single pre-wired housing, Sol-Ark has also excelled in the area of PV-to-AC efficiency, boasting a CEC-weighted efficiency of 96% (peak performance up to 97%) - meaning a smaller solar array can be used to get the same amount of power as systems with other inverters.
Note that the "12K" in the name refers to the combined output - split between DC (battery charging) and AC (house loads/grid). For example: when maxed out on the AC side at a continuous 9kW, there is 3kW of power (if available from the PV) to simultaneously charge batteries. If AC requirements are lower, it can charge batteries with up to 8kW.
FEATURES:
- Grid-Interactive or Off-Grid capability in the same package - can be used with or without energy storage - add batteries down the line (The unit can be used in grid-tied applications without batteries, but if there is an outage, and there are no batteries, the inverter shuts down per NEC).
- Easy and fast to install - no external components (ie. fuses, breakers, combiner box) - all integrated in one unit
- Indoor/Outdoor installations
- Lightweight - under 80 lbs
- Color touch screen
- Works with the widest variety of 48V battery chemistries - from lead acid to lithium
- Backup power (even use the Grid as backup!) and support for time-of-use optimization
- Completely pre-wired system - inverter and charge controller included
- Wifi integrated for easy monitoring of system performance
- Integrated DC Disconnect, Auto Gen Start, Critical Loads panel
- Highly efficient - both on-grid and off-grid
- Generator support
- Field-upgradeable software with remote support
- Fully NEC compliant (N. America) with rapid shutdown
- UL1741SA/Rule 21 and 14H Compliant (Grid Sell Only)
APPLICATIONS:
- Grid-Tied Mode - Sell power back to the Utility to reduce your electric bill*
- Meter Zero Mode - Zero your electric bill without adding an additional smart meter
- Time-Of-Use Mode - Use solar and batteries to minimize grid power usage when it's most expensive
- Smart Load Mode - Use a programmable output for high-power off grid loads or grid Time-of-use loads - to run only when there is optimum solar - use excess PV power when batteries are full
- Off Grid applications - battery agnostic
- AC Coupling - retrofits to existing grid tie systems
- Battery backup applications
