Applications of Sol-Ark Inverters
1.Grid-Tied Mode - Transmit excess power back to the Utility to decrease your electricity expenses.
2.Meter Zero Mode - Eliminate your electric bill without requiring an additional smart meter.
3.Time-Of-Use Mode - Utilize solar energy and batteries to minimize grid power consumption during peak-cost periods.
4.Smart Load Mode - Employ a programmable output for high-power off-grid or grid time-of-use loads, utilizing surplus PV power when batteries are at capacity, especially when solar output is optimal.
5.Off-Grid applications - Compatible with various battery types.
6.AC Coupling - Retrofit compatible with existing grid tie systems.
7.Battery backup applications
8.EMP applications (**available with 8K and 12K EMP Hardened Inverters only - includes EMP suppressors for appliances and solar panels. Not applicable to the 5K.) Additionally, lithium battery technology is not recommended, but lead-acid batteries are suitable. The electronics in the lithium BMS cannot be guaranteed to withstand EMP, unlike lead-acid, which is chemical and more likely to survive.
