What warranty is included with this solar kit?

When you buy this solar kit, you are covered by the full manufacturer warranties on each component. Plus, you’ll receive our lifetime customer and technical support.

Can I expand this system in the future?

Yes, you can easily add more solar panels (up to 13kw so basically double) as well as up to 8 x powerwalls. You can even stack another inverter if you need more output. Every area of this kit is expandable.

What solar panels are included with this kit?

You'll receive 400W+ monocrystalline solar panels from one of the leading brands in the solar industry. Backed by a minimum 25-Year power output warranty. We do our best to source all of our solar panels from North America, Mexico or Vietnam. Most popular brands we carry are Aptos, Phono, Mission and SolarEver.

How long will my battery bank last?

You'll be covered by a 10-year warranty. The battery is Lithium LFP meaning it's rated for up to 6,000 lifecycles (15+ years of daily use). To calculate daily run times, divide the total battery bank watt hours by your average load in watts to get rough hours of run time.

Can I install this system myself?

We've created the kits for absolute simplicity. That said, we highly recommend getting the help of a professional installer / certified electrician. You should plan on potential costs associated with this as well.

Can this kit handle a well-pump and/or other 240V appliances?

Yes. This kit is capable of running 120V, 208V and 240V appliances. This includes well pumps, dryers and 240V air conditioning units.

Can I use a generator or the grid to charge my battery bank if needed?

Absolutely. The Sol Ark comes ready to go with an AC input where you can hook up a stand by generator for charging the batteries on cloudy days or at night if needed. You can also use the grid as the AC input source if it's available.

Can I sell power back to the grid with this system?

Technically the Sol Ark inverter allows you to sell power back to the grid. However, most people who buy this kit are looking to gain power and grid independence and opt for storing or using any excess power they may have!

How big is all of this? How much space do I need?

The solar panels will come on a pallet and can be left inside or outside. The batteries are the biggest and heaviest deliveries at around 4 ft tall and 2 ft wide. The inverter is about 3 ft by 1.5 ft and weighs 75 lbs. All together you'll need a good corner of a garage or a spare bedroom worth of space for storing all of the equipment before installing it.

Where is this equipment made?

We do our best to source as much product from North America as possible. Our solar panels are USA, Mexico or Vietnam and most of our batteries and inverters are designed and assembled in the USA.

Do the batteries need to be inside or outside? Does it matter?

15°C (59°F) / 35°C (95°F)

Do I need to buy anything else?

You'll have everything you need to get up and running with our kits. That said, you will want to plan on a trip to the hardware store to buy any necessary installation tools, ground rods and wire as well as UniStrut if needed for mounting the solar panels. Outside of this, you'll be getting all of the most important components in your kit!
