The 12k provides the most versatile options of the inverters we reviewed and flexible options for installation and configuration. We initially purchased 20 additional 30 volt 300 watt panels so with the original 10 30 volt 250 watt panels… Continue reading Inverter, panels and batteries

We are in the process of purchasing another 20 300 watt Hyundai panels which will give our initial installation 6,000 watts + 2,500 watts = 8,500 watts. We are also planning to use a Sol-Ark 12K… Continue reading Solar Panels
