FAQs

• Is the Sol-Ark 8K Inverter stackable?
  No, the Sol-Ark 8K inverter is not stackable, however the 12K model is stackable.
• Is it possible to program or set up the Sol-Ark 8K remotely?
  Yes, a Sol-Ark dongle is available that allows you to remotely access or setup your Sol-Ark 8K. The dongle sells for $200 and comes pre-loaded with the latest software version. It has a DB9 connector and requires a 12V power supply. If software updates are available in the future, you can use the same dongle to update your Sol-Ark inverter.
• What components are recommended for Rapid Shutdown?
  Tigo TS4-A-F, APSmart, or MidNite Solar.
• Does the Sol-Ark 8K have a built-in transfer switch?
  Yes, the Sol-Ark 8K has a built-in transfer switch that will switch from grid to battery bank automatically.
• Does the Sol-Ark 8K include a Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS)?
  Yes, the Sol-Ark 8K includes a hardwired RTS that connects with two wire leads.
• Will the remote temperature sensor work with lithium batteries?
  Yes, it will work with lithium batteries, but it will not be necessary if the lithium battery has an onboard Battery Management System (BMS).
• I would like to use the MidNite Solar MNBCB Battery Combiner Box with my Sol-Ark inverter and battery bank. Should I use the one with the 50mV or 100mV shunt?
  You can use either battery combiner box because unlike other inverters, the Sol-Ark inverters already have an intergrated shunt, so you may not be using the shunt that comes with the battery combiner box.
• Why doesn't my Sol-Ark inverter have a serial number on it?
  There is a QR code on the unit which is programmed with the serial number.
• Can I use my back-up generator with the Sol-Ark?
  Yes, as long as the generator voltage matches the Sol-Ark's voltage settings (e.g. 120/240 and 120/240 or 208 and 208).
• Which terminals in the Sol-Ark do I connect my generator to?
  Connect your generator to the GEN terminals if your want the generator to only charge your batteries. Connect your generator to the GRID terminals if you want the generator to charge your batteries and sometimes also feed the load.
• I am connecting my batteries to the Sol-Ark and need to know what Amp-Hour Capacity to set. How do I determine that?
  Take the per battery Amp-Hour Capacity (aka "Nominal Capacity") and multiply it by the number of batteries in your battery bank. That is your battery bank's Amp-Hour Capacity (aka "Nominal Capacity").
• If I place my disconnect before the Sol-Ark inverter, how can I be certain the Sol-Ark inverter also shuts down?
  You could add a 12V Emergency Button.
• Is the Sol-Ark 8K inverter certified for grid-connect in Hawaii?
  Yes, the Sol-Ark 8K inverter is certified for grid-connect in Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico.
