Sol-Ark in the OzArks 

Send me and email and we can at least get you some quotes. info@practicalpreppers.com

The power peak can go down to 16 panels

Are you ready for a system or do you want to help us on a job?

Help on a job. Currently unemployed, but awaiting for me to get my secret clearance so I can go back building submarines for the Us Navy. I was an electrician for EB in Groton, CT. As well as various other places before, including installing solar panels.

We think it is great and we shipped that combo out today for a customer.

@@engineer775 Went to your website and saw you carry a bunch of different options. That's great.

The Sol-ark is an 8K inverter now certified to export 9kW.

I need to make a video like that. I will be looking at most if not all battery storage systems on the market next week at Solar Power International so I will be up to speed on the latest greatest battery solutions.

@@engineer775 awesome Ty so much

Norris Brock I would do a metal frame and attach it to the metal storage container. Strength, grounding, durability many benefits.

Yeah, should have used a J-box next to it and came out the front. Rigid looks a lot cleaner as well. That and the battery rack seems pretty poor quality for what that customer paid...

Nobody got the 11.2kW

50-60k turnkey depending on distance. 35 as a DIY

@@engineer775 I installed mine realy, realy DIY with $10.000; Sol-ark 8K and 10kW of LiFePo4. I had the solar panels already installed. ( 3.1kW about $2200.)

Don't forget about that 30% tax credit

Hillary Stuart-Elliott ground mount is always preferable.

@@jeffclymer2250 Why? You hit the well line (it happens). You have to dig, bury cable, shadows from the trees block your sunrise/sunset light. None of these problems occur with a roof mount. And you shade your house, which is a big perk down here in the South. Educate me, what am I missing?

There are 4 strings.

@@engineer775 oh I thought the sol ark only had 2 inputs.

The solark doesn't use optimizers.

@@engineer775 Thank you for the feedback

We'd be happy to sell you one. They are on our website. practicalpreppers.com/product/sol-ark-12k-solar-inverter/

11.2

Sorry about that.

growatt cant do ac coupling or has et sensors. Et sensors you can feed your main panel without having a net meter agreement

This one. L.R.A. not run time amps but worst case start up. We clamped it several times on a Fluke 374.

Engineer775 L.R.A.? Can’t seem to find it. Mind providing more info?

@@robertsteich7362 Locking rotor amps. it is listed right on the Water Furnace. It said 150 and we verified with our meter.

Engineer775 Ha ha. I was coming back to post that I just discovered what LRA stands for... before when I googled “l.r.a. Water furnace” thinking that was a name brand, it was coming up with strange results. Then I removed “water”, same results, removed “furnace” thus LRA remained, that’s when I saw it. Thanks

If you need your AC on So-ark you need an 5-2-1 AC Hard Start Capacitor. www.amazon.com/Start-Capacitor-Compatible-CSR-U3-Compressor/dp/B07GJFNBNP/ref=sr_1_6?crid=35HP5PB4G47NB&keywords=5+2+1+hard+start+kit&qid=1569033068&sprefix=5+2+1%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-6

Sorry. The video is shot on multiple cameras and sometimes the volume is so different and needs to be normalized. My bad.

Michael Morris With all due respect, his clientele has money. This job was a 12 to 13 hour road trip from their home base. With jobs like this, the client typically pays for the hotel or whatever. As it’s a separate itemized in the bill. I’ve seen some people who hired an audio/video company at their “first home” in one state. And if they did a great job, the client would hire them to do an other set up at their second/third or whatever home. Which could literally be several states away... heck, could be on a different continent.

We're common men building nice systems for a couple of reasons. Folks that can afford us hire us. And those that can't get inspired to build their own systems and we help them do just that. They can be small and scale up or maybe start Grid tied and then add batteries later. We also help with individual appliance projects like running well pumps, air conditioners, refrigerators, septic pumps, aerators etc etc.

Michael-No shortage of common man vids on YT regarding a harbor freight 100 watt solar panel or a portable solar battery/panel combo and a light bulb. This guy is an engineer.

@@robertsteich7362 Robert, I'm well aware that his "clientele" has money (talk about stating the obvious)... and I'm sure most of them have watched a video or two of his... for the majority of us, who watch all his video's... I've been watching since he started under a previous name... we can't afford to do this kind of stuff. I should have said "more" common man video's. Would be nice to see him do projects that can be done for less than $5,000 or maybe even better a starter system that someone can add on to for a a couple thousand every year... and show us how to start, and then grow as we can. The vast majority of us watching... simply can't do these types of projects. I'm just suggesting he make more content for his audience... rather than his "clientele"... I'm betting they don't watch his content consistently.

@@jycfrnkl Really, are you sure... anyone can claim to be anything on RU-vid... Yes I know he is an engineer. Not only that he is probably the best kind of engineer... a mechanical engineer... I have several of those in my family, actually. I also don't believe a Harbor Freight 100 watt kit is common man... it's for people who have no idea what they are doing. I'm suggesting he make content that people who watch can actually do, and that makes economic sense... Most people who are serious about solar can swing a $5,000 startup project and can probably add $2,000 a year to grow their system. But is has to make economic sense. That's the trick... coming up with projects that actually will pay for themselves before they wear out.

yep no tracers were shot on this job.
