Please note, your solar kit will arrive in 3-5 shipments different shipments (solar panels one day, batteries another etc..
Please watch for phone calls from freight companies and be prepared for multiple large deliveries across 2-3 weeks after ordering.
We will provide tracking numbers for each shipment via email, so please watch for these to start coming through anywhere from 3-7 business days after placing your order.
Mounting Your Solar Panels (Guide and Examples)
Solar Panel Mounting Info & Guides:
Our kits do NOT come with mounting hardware, they come with high quality solar panels that are pre-drilled and ready to be mounted by their strong aluminium frames.
Feel free to request a spec sheet on your specific solar panels and we can provide this for you.
Average solar panel dimensions are: 65 inches x 39 inches and 1.5 inches thick.
*This is about 5.5 feet tall by 3.25 ft feet wide.
Mounting Solar Panels with UniStrut
UniStrut is typically available at any local hardware store and looks like this:

When setting up your inverter, it will be important to set the parameters properly based on the battery that you have with your system.
Please go through and switch the settings to the parameters below:
For your LV6048 Inverter, go to settings by pressing and holding for 3 sec the enter button, Navigate to the following settings and change to the following parameters:
For Batteries KONG ELITE, KONG, HSKY, TREX & GRILA
• Settings 05: Battery Type - USE (User-define)
• Settings 02: Max Charging Current - 90A
• Settings 11: Max Utility Charging Current - 40A
• Settings 26: Bulk Charging Voltage - 58.4V
• Settings 27: Float Charging Voltage - 58.0V
• Settings 29: Low DC Voltage Cut-off - 48.0V
The max input voltage of the charge controller in your unit is from 90V - 230V. This means that you need AT LEAST 90V going into the unit to register a charge. What is super cool about the LV6548 with the huge charge controller is that you can get roughly 8000 watt into the unit.
If you have added more panels, or have them set-up incorrectly, it can cause your system to shut down and restart. Setting 6 is designed so that in the event of an overload, the system shuts off and reboots. This is a friendly reminder that it is important to follow the diagram instructions provided, or make sure to stay within the input voltage of the unit. You can find the diagram instructions below depending on the kit you ordered.

When setting up your inverter, it will be important to set the parameters properly based on the battery that you have with your system.
Please go through and switch the settings to the parameters below:
For your LVX 6048 go to settings by pressing and hold for 3 sec the enter button, Navigate to the following settings and change to this parameters accordingly:
For Batteries KONG ELITE, KONG, HSKY, TREX & GRILA
• Settings 14: Battery Type - USE (User-define)
• Settings 11: Max Charging Current - 90A
• Settings 13: Max Utility Charging Current - 40A
• Settings 17: Bulk Charging Voltage - 58.4V
• Settings 18: Float Charging Voltage - 58.0V
• Settings 19: Low DC Voltage Cut-off - 48.0V
The max input voltage of the charge controller in your unit is from 120V - 430V. This means that you need AT LEAST 120V going into the unit to register a charge.
If you have added more panels, or have them set-up incorrectly, it can cause your system to shut down and restart. Setting 7 works so that in the event of an overload, the system shuts off and reboots. This is just a friendly reminder to follow the diagram instructions, or make sure to stay within the input voltage of the unit.
If you wanted to have a 240V output from your 2 x Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM Inverter you can follow the connection on this diagram:
Battery Shutdown
The most common issue with batteries in an HBK kit is that the battery dies. If that has happened to you, please follow the instructions below.
If your battery got too low, then your inverter will no longer be able to sense it. Once the battery reaches a certain voltage that is too low, the inverter can no longer recognize the battery is there. At that point, the solar input, or the AC input will no longer be able to charge the battery.
If this happens, you will need to charge your battery externally with a 48V battery charger so that the inverter can sense the battery again and will be able to charge it up with solar or the grid.
This usually happens when the charge parameters set in the Inverter do not match the charge parameters required for the batteries.
In order to make sure this doesn't happen again, please follow the settings provided below:
For your LV6048 or LV6548 Inverter, go to settings by pressing and holding for 3 sec the enter button, Navigate to the following settings and change to the following parameters:
For Batteries KONG ELITE, KONG, HSKY, TREX & GRILA
• Settings 05: Battery Type - USE (User-define)

Check out how Michael has been using his system fully off grid. He started with the base kit, and then added another battery as well as 6 more panels. This is very common as people get accustomed to solar power, they will add more solar panels and more batteries to their systems as they understand their power needs.
Juan R. - DSK - PRO
Check out how clean and crisp an DSK-PRO kit looks when mounted and set up well. The amount of power you can get out of this kit is simply incredible!
Mark J. - DSK - MAX
Here you can see how sleek and beautiful the kit is. The small form factor of (2) 3000 watt growatt units and (2) HSKY batteries is incredible considering the power that you get from it. The ability to have 120/240 output and over 10kw of Lithium battery at this size is awesome!
