Power that grows with you.

Formerly known as the HPK-PLUS, the newly branded ELITE PLUS represents the gold standard of hybrid solar power. Built around the Sol-Ark 15K inverter, this kit is perfect for larger homes, small businesses or even off-grid applications. This system is expandable down the line and can work to peak shave, off-set your bill or power any off-grid locations you might need while being fully UL-compliant nationwide.

ELITE Power Kits come with all the parts and pieces you need to get up and running. Engineered for a DIY-friendly experience, they are designed so that a homeowner can comfortably handle the majority of the installation, while remaining simple enough for a local professional to step in and finalize the connection quickly.
