How Home Microgrids Work - Sol-Ark Battery Systems

⚡ Design Your System

Solar Array 14 kW

Existing panels or new install. 0 = no solar.

Battery Bank 2 × 14.3 kWh = 28.6 kWh

EG4 WallMount PowerPro units. Each = 14.3 kWh.

Average Home Load 2.7 kW

Average power draw during outage. Critical loads only = lower.

Generator Start SOC 10%

When generator kicks in. 0% = run battery to empty. 25% = conservative.

Fuel Available 20 gallons

Total gasoline. Tank + jerry cans. 0 = battery + solar only.

Inverter Sol-Ark 12K
