Sol-Ark 15K Hybrid inverter makes CEC list
Sol-Ark’s 15K Hybrid Inverter has been approved by the California Energy Commission, opening up the California market even more for the Texas-based company. Previous products such as the 12K and 8K have been on the CEC list for years.
The 15K has a 200A 5ms transfer switch built in, so this will be a very useful and fitting option for most homes. Tom Brennan, Sol-Ark’s CEO, calls the Sol-Ark 15K a “generator eliminator” when designing a system for whole-home backup.
“It has higher power than the competition, is easier to install (with far fewer parts required for the end product than other similar inverters require), and the 200A 5ms built-in transfer switch really highlights the fact that it can power an entire home,” Brennan says. “Other inverters are too small and require significant time to install an 8 to 12 critical loads panel. This leaves the homeowner with only ~1/3 of the home circuits with backup.”
The Limitless 15K backs up 100 percent of home circuits and includes enough power for typical 5-ton A/C units. Sol-Ark inverters are designed to last 20+ years.
Future products to look out for include a small 5K single-phase all-in-one inverter/MPPT, optimizers, and 30K three-phase hybrid, along with a fleet of products tailored for Latin American homes and markets.
