William, Wrenches Yes I do and it does require some basic electronics to make it work correctly, you will need to remove the ttemp sender and make a resistor pack to simulate the 77 degree reading otherwise it will not charge properly, for the first one I used a breadboard to set the temp for what

Jason, Wrenches I am familiar with Franklin and when I asked them about the battery they had all the answers but when I asked about the AC coupled inverter inside, mainly who made it is it field serviceable I got deer in the headlights and a few weeks later I asked them the same thing and again no

In an off-grid scenario I would suggest utilizing the grid connect timer as a Gen warm up. I typically set this qualification time to 30 or 60 seconds. Sol Ark fixed the problem with dropping the 2 wire start under full load, so if this is an issue for you, I would update the firmware. On Fri,

I just replaced two Sunny Islands and one Sunny Boy that I did not install with a single Sol-Ark 15k today. The generator installer (not me) had already installed a custom but simple time delay relay. I didn't get into the logic of it, but from what I understand the generator already had a
