Hi William,
We have a half dozen plus off grid systems using SolArk inverters and
TIGO optimizers. They work well and the TIGO's, from my experience,
have been really reliable. The necessary 12 volt signal can come
directly from the relay in the SolArk inverter.

We have been using Fortress 18.5 kWh, 48 volt battery banks with SolArk

really, all batteries) it is highly recommended to use busbars to parallel
all battery connections. This also makes it easy to double the battery
