- Sol-Ark 12K can't deliver the power that listed on spec sheet. Shut down situation presented in the video without overloading Sol-Ark.

This is the link for the Sol-Ark 12K Review if you would like to watch as well.
The reason for the shutdown is probably due to the hair dryer using a half wave rectifier for its low setting. A lot of inverters don't like these half wave rectified loads. The heat gun didn't cause this due to it using different heating elements for different power levels.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Today I was on the phone with Sol-Ark customer support with remote monitoring. The inverter did shut down multiple times consuming a little bit over 8000W . just the same way as in my presentation with different type of loads.
@@offgridwithlaszlo What loads specifically caused it to trip out? Also, has Sol-Ark pushed any updates where they skipped updates in the sequence? There could be glitches introduced by skipping updates where the skipped updates introduce dependencies for later updates and thus the inverter can puke when it doesn't see the missing dependencies. I've seen a few cases of puking Sol-Arks on here where that was the issue.
I would love to know if Sol-Ark gave you a trade-in value towards the 15K inverter.
Definitely, we are still in the process to solve this issue. Thank you for watching!!
This is why, as an inverter repair technician with over 24 years of experience, repairing both high frequency and low frequency inverters, I have always recommended against using low cost, high frequency inverter technology. If you want to avoid these types of issues, then purchase a low frequency, transformer based inverter technology.
Thank you for your opinion! Well Growatt, Schneider are low frequency inverters and they are doing well for Off-Grid applications. Maybe later some manufacturers will surprise us with some HF inverters, Thank you for watching!!
The EG4 18K PV is a 12 kilowatt inverter with up to 8 kilowatts line imbalance and 14 kilowatts surge. This is something Sol-Ark can not do.
I agree , Sol-Ark could do better for sure. After all , my unit is coming from China so that $100 extra investment would not hurt the company but people would get what inverter advertised for. Thank you for watching!
Check out the video on the comparison between the sol ark and the Schneider 6048 unit. You will find the answers you’re looking for.
Thank you very much! Very interesting! Maybe be I should send this video to Sol-Ark with mine.
Sol-Ark, why do you shut down?

Thank you, I appreciate it. It seems I’m not the only one with these issues.
Pro vs Sol Ark

Thank you for watching. As I mentioned in my video, in this situation we compare again a HF and LF inverters however living off grid the most important how much it cost and what can handle.
