Customer wanted more power, so we pounded posts and added a 24-panel seasonal-adjust ground mount (+10.8 kW, direct-tie) plus a second Sol-Ark 15K on top of an existing 42-panel / 90 kWh system.

Cloudy days? A lot less of a problem now.

The brand new Sol-Ark 12K-2P-LL Inverter is now available on our shop! I have had successful results after 4 months of beta testing and extensive load testing in every scenario. It's proven incredibly reliable. We've been successfully selling power back to the grid with it, and we've compared it directly against the 18K and 15K to see exactly where this 12K model shines.
