James B. WHK - PLUS
Check out the set-up from James with his WHK - PLUS. He started with (2) HSK batteries, and added another 3! You can parallel up to (8) of the HSKY batteries together.
Andy - WHK - MAX
Check our how Andy has set-up his WHK-MAX solar kit. He decided to go with an Iron Ridge racking system that he ordered and installed himself.
Andy has been using the Sol-Ark & (2) lithium batteries to run his entire RV, well pump and other power needs. He is using the system fully off-grid which he plans on continuing to do. He can add more batteries down the line if he wishes to grow his system and he can add more panels as well.

Edgar M - WHK - PRO
Take a look at the scale and size of a Sol-Ark 12kw and a large lithium battery inside a home. While these units are quite big and heavy, when organized properly, they really do not take up a lot of room inside of a home. The size and form factor of units this powerful are truly incredible.
