Also, you can hire a local electrician to wire this up! You can create your own micro grid, interact with the grid, or build any size offgrid system you wish. Pretty wild!

The 200 amp pass through makes this an incredible solution. I believe there are around 90 million homes in the US with 200 amp services and cutting this inverter in between the meter and the panel makes for the easiest installation out there. Can't wait to couple it with the smart load. 14. I've installed the 15K on three homes and they perform great! Thanks for the review Will. It's a beast.

[EastyUK]

Used the 8k since 2019 100% off grid and the 12k outdoor since 2020. These things just work, I have a lot of tools like welder, chop saws, compressor and ac in two areas and can run everything with adequate balancing.
The scalability I think is a delight with the 12-15k. To add solark customer support is extremely good, they actually gave me a huge discount on the second item when they heard I lost the 8k in a wildfire. Great company to support.

[carlossantini]

Hi WIll, where is the 15k installation video that you promise?

[NeverTakeNoCut-offs]

I installed the 12K on my off grid cabin. If I can do it, anybody can. It has been flawless running a 3/4 hp 500ft deep well pump, 12 inch Miter saws, medium size compressor, large table saw and everything else I have thrown at it. Granted, I'm not running a normal house loads (dryers/ranges), but I have a feeling that it would work fine if I did, as long as I stay below the inverter limits. People say it's expensive, but to me it was so cheap, because it just works, and I don't have to screw around with it. Its all about VALUE, not cost..

[JLTPhotog]

Installed a Solark 8K a few months ago and it’s been great. Highly recommend their units, their service and support is phenomenal. That 15k is GIANT!!!

[derickvernon]

Thank God someone competent is finally reviewing this wonderful Inverter. My 12K has given Zero problems over the last 12 months and it runs my whole house to the tune of 55KWh Per day.

[kitersrefuge]

Huge nugget of information hidden in this gr8 video by Mr. Will @6:14 onwards: its the software quality (of an inverter) dummy! This should be up and center in a newb's starter kit up there with all electrical fundamentals and the bewildering inverter configuration options not forgetting comms. Thank you!

[mueckenhoeffer]

Someone is going to say it so I will. Standing on a workbench, lowering that heavy thing onto its back, while wearing Crocs. You made me smile this morning.

[solargoat]

Great review and also love the product. Keep in mind although there is a 200 amp transfer switch, the max continuous output of the inverter off-grid is 62.5 amps at 240 volts. So the wire and transfer switch rating is for pass through current (grid to load) not off grid output current. It doesn’t supply more power then a competitive 15 kW inverter, it’s just the installation it’s self is greatly simplified and the selection of back up loads isn’t necessary.

[kswis]

That has got to be a seriously thick board. Congrats on the new addition, even for over $8k it's super capable.

[Dreadlk]

Super excited to see Will do a set of Videos on the Sol-Ark.
Thank God this will not be a push beyond the Limit Video like others have done.
A higher price does not mean that the specifications are beyond what is stated, the price is for the build quality, Firmware and reliability of the Inverter.
Hopefully the doubters will see why we all rave about it's rich set of features.

[matthewellisor]

I just spooled-up a 15k two weeks ago. They're the best in the business!

[zekeboz]

Nice to see this review. Have the 12k and have been impressed the past few years with its performance and features. The one thing I would highlight is that the Sol-Arks are super feature rich. I suggest that you read and then reread the manual for a full understand of how this thing can be installed and leveraged before you start.

[ReflectedMiles]

First-rate, first class--easily the best all-in-one product development I have ever seen anywhere near that price point.

[yamlcase]

I've been waiting years for your do do a sol-ark teardown, thank you for bringing this to us! I'd really like to see a Sol-Ark 12k teardown too and impressions compared to the 15k.

[wesleyofficer]

Just put in a SolArk 5k and it was a great experience, the WiFi monitoring system works great, and it’s such a thrill to be able to provide real-time support for an out of state system!
Lord-willing I’ll be using a lot more SolArk equipment in the years to come.

[stevespawn]

I have the sol ark 12k—great product—these guys are not kidding around at sol ark. They have 24-7 tech support too-crazy cool!

[trumpingtonfanhurst]

And it will be Glorious!

In the thumbnail, you look like a proud father 🙂

[Earthmadegarden]

Did you post the install video yet? Curious to see that! I install these for my job and it’s pretty fun. They could use a bit more space for landing the ac connections. It’s quite a challenge bending the 4/0 aluminum wires to land in those lugs.
