Sol-Ark 8K Hybrid Inverter/Charger Pre-Wired System
Sol-Ark's 8kW hybrid inverter system incorporates a battery-based inverter, charge controller, display with remote monitoring, auto generator start, load center with breakers, rapid shutdown, and WiFi connectivity into a single pre-wired system enclosed in an outdoor-rated housing.
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.
This hybrid inverter system simultaneously manages power to and from a solar PV array, a battery bank, the grid, a backup generator, and your loads. It supports 8kW of continuous power for off-grid production, and up to 8kW continuous for grid-tied production.
Being pre-wired with so many system components already integrated, Sol-Ark's hybrid inverters make a great choice - and an easy installation - for larger single-family sized off-grid, grid-tie, or battery backup solar installations. For very large systems, use the Sol-Ark 12Ks, which can be combined for up to 8 units stacked in parallel.
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
