Yea I'm wondering the easiest way to get a 125 AMP Midnite Inverter
Bypass assembly in a simple box for 2 Sol-Arks. Midnite would be the
perfect candidate for a simple support box (e-panel style) for Stacked
Sol-Arks.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

In an all in one, the good parts are balanced, sometimes, by a small
failure making the all in one useless. Only a complete spare will save
the day, or night...Also wonder about real world surge capacity on 1
hp pumps and big air compressors.
I am glad to hear that they will be making this in Texas, rather than
currently only in China. Anyone have more on this please?
AC bypass switching is a must for SolArk. They need a PDP or some way
to make this easier. The dual mppts are perfect for virtual tracking.
I begged for a dual mppt on the new Schneider high voltage 100a mppt :(
I wish them good luck and take back most of my concerns. Hope they can
make it!

There is a huge distinction in a hybrid inverter that integrates MPPT
charge control. Eliminating all of the extraneous hardware and
circuit protection associated with charge controllers is very
appealing. The 500V input limit is also a game-changer in terms of
wire size. I'm very interested in this approach.
On the flip size, an AC Coupled approach is also appealing in a lot
of circumstances. Since Sol-Ark supports that, too, it's hard to find
downsides other than their infancy in the industry.
And for what it's worth, my experience with SMA tech support recently
has been abysmal. Long hold times and getting bounced around departments.

I myself have sent about 2 hours on hold over 2 days trying to
get an issue addressed by SMA.
Re: Sol-Arc I would pay a lot extra or take some not so good
aspect in exchange for good technical support.

The solar MPPT inputs appear to be dead simple.

I also suggest the Sol-Ark 12's. Extremely efficient, simple
to program, does a wonderful job in either ac coupling,
stand alone or pure off grid and terrific customer support.

Sol-Arks would be possible, you can link 8 inverters.

I'd suggest giving the crew at Sol-Ark a quick call @
972-575-8875 with their 12kw unit. Not sure what their max
number of inverters are.

Hey all, I'm designing a microgrid sized off-grid system
for somebody, and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of
any issues with the following designs...
The client says he needs 70 kW. His load data looks
pretty solid, so I'm sticking to using that number as a
minimum, at least during the initial proposal stage. I
only know of two possible equipment options for this
size range...
1. I think I can use up to 10 Outback Radians, for up
to an 80 kW system. Are there any bugs or problems
with using this many inverters on one hub? I know
I've read about issues with selling to the grid, but
that's not an issue, this is off-grid.
2. I know that the SMA cluster box with sunny islands
can allow for up to a 72 kW system. Do you know of
any bugs or problems with this system?
Are there any other options that anyone would suggest?
Schneider's website says they can only do up to 61 kW,
and Victron can only do up to 60 kW.
I know that the Outback system would yield a 240/120
Split-Phase system and that the SMA would yield a
208/120 3Ø system, but this doesn't really matter either
way for this job.
Thanks so much,
Kienan
