🚨 EG4 18K-PV vs Sol-Ark 15K – Part 2: The Real-World Showdown

We put the Sol-Ark 15K through the same brutal tests as the EG4—this is real-world performance under pressure:

🚗 EV charging
🔋 Full battery-only loads
🔥 Grid outage simulation in 100°F+ South Carolina heat

And we answer your biggest questions from Part 1:
❌ Did EG4 throttle due to firmware? Nope.
⚠️ Is the 18K-PV already falling behind? It’s looking that way.
⚡ EMP-hardened or just lightning resistant? There’s a big difference.
