3. Component Distance Guide

WIRE RUN LENGTH: SEE DIAGRAM FOR WIRE GAUGE (AWG) RECOMMENDATIONS, PAGE 43 FOR COMPLETE DETAIL

4. Decide Backup Circuits

a. Subpanels are recommended and are required if you have Arc-Fault / GFI breakers.

b. Important: Make sure to keep within inverter amperage limits (per inverter):

On Grid = 63A continuous (pass-through)

Off Grid = 37.5A continuous/83A peak

c. Verify each load circuit by measuring typical and max Amps with a clip-on Amp meter. Amps x

120V = Watts

d. If you have Arc-Fault / GFI breakers in your main panel we recommend that you install a

subpanel for your backup loads, not a multi-circuit transfer switch.

IF PROGRAMMED TO SMART LOAD

DO NOT CONNECT GENERATOR TO GEN PORT

5. Mount Multi-Circuit Transfer Switch (Not valid for Arc-Fault/GFI breakers) OR Backup Loads Panel

Important notes:

When the transfer switch is in the “Gen” position, this means the circuit is being powered by the Sol-Ark

(which can use Grid/Solar/Battery/Generator automatically).

When in the “Line” position, the transfer switch is being powered by the grid (Sol-Ark can be removed).

The transfer switch setup is complete once all the switches are set to “Gen” position.

The Sol-Ark will take care of the rest.

If you are not installing a transfer switch (Off Grid or have a 50A sub-load panel), you can wire the “Load”

output of the Sol-Ark 5K directly to a Main Lug breakers sub-panel rated for at least 50A.

Please refer to diagrams section for complete wire diagram

Strain Reliefs must be used for all wires going in/out of the Sol-Ark 5K user area

Ground and Neutral must be wired as shown above, or damage can occur.

Conduit (or double insulated wire) must be used for the AC Wires going to and from the Sol-Ark.

DO NOT CONNECT THE GRID TO THE LOAD OUTPUT BREAKER

Step 1. Turn off main breaker

Step 2. Connect White/Neutral wire (4 AWG) to Neutral Bar

Step 3. Connect Green/Ground wire (6 AWG) to Ground Bar

Step 4. Remove load wire (12 AWG) from circuit breaker and connect

it to the black “A” wire (12 AWG) with a wire nut.

Step 5. Place red “A” wire (12 AWG) from the switch into breaker.

Step 6. Repeat steps 4-5 for circuits A-J

Note: All AC wires should be 4 AWG

Opt. Limiters

6. Single System Installs: Install Double Pole 60A breaker in Main Panel for Grid In/Out

a. It is best practice to install at the opposite end of the bus bar from the main breaker (Usually

this is the bottom of the breaker panel as seen on page 5).

7. Mount Sol-Ark 5K

a. Find a suitable location for the system(s), keeping in mind the dimensions in Fig. 1 below.

b. Sol-Ark 5K is NEMA 3R rated for outdoor install.

c. LCD screen should be protected from excessive UV exposure.

d. The system weighs 78lbs (35kg), be sure to attach it securely to the wall. You may need to affix

a mounting board to your wall first using 6-8 screws into studs.

e. Then use 2-3 screws (appropriate in length and type for your mounting surface) to mount the

French Cleat to the board/wall (washers recommended).

f. Mount the Sol-Ark on the installed cleat making sure that it sits properly and is level.

g. Add 2 screws in bottom mounts.

Sensor Pin Out (Located in Sol-Ark user area)

(1,2) Batt Temp: Battery Temperature Sensor has

no polarity and is needed for voltage correction

when using lead acid batteries.

(+3, -4) CT1 & (+5,-6) CT2: Current transformers

used for limited to home mode and peak shaving

(7,8) Gen Start Relay: Two wire start for

generators, simple open or closed relay

(9,10) Gen On Relay: Not currently used

(B 11, B 12) Emergency Stop: Short these pins to

initiate emergency stop. This will shutdown AC

output from the inverter and initiate rapid

shutdown of the PV.

(+13, -14) Optional 12V input signal for RSD

(+15, -16) 12V power supply for RSD

transmitters: such as TIGO and Midnite

Rated for a maximum of 1.2W (100mA @12V)

8. Connect Batteries (Sol-Ark should be POWERED “OFF”)

a. Connect the batteries to the Sol-Ark 5K as shown in the diagrams Fig. B below:

b. Fig. A: Install included ferrites (part e. on pg. 3) on the battery input cables. Slide

the ferrite over the battery cables so that both cables are within the toroid (as

shown in Fig. A).

c. When connecting batteries make sure the built-in battery disconnect is in the off

position while the batteries are connected, or arcing will occur.

d. Multi-system installs:

i. All systems in parallel are connected to the same battery bank, with each

system having its own battery cables to connect to the same large battery

bank. Do not use separate battery banks for parallel systems.

Note: PCC batteries are stackable

WARNING! Do not stack more than 2 banks high!

Do NOT reverse

polarity of batteries!

Damage will occur!

Sol-Ark 5K is a 48V system. Do not wire the

battery bank to any other nominal voltage.

When using 12V batteries do not exceed 4

batteries in series. When using other

battery chemistries, stay within the voltage

range: Min 43V-Max 63V

9. Solar Panel Install

1. Sol-Ark 5K has 2 separate pairs of solar panel inputs. (Dual MPPT)

3. Max PV input:

6,500W(+/- 5%) per system (3,250W per MPPT) PV = 500Voc Max

Max Isc input per MPPT: 25A (self-limiting to 20A @450Voc/300Vmp or 18A @ 500Voc/400Vmp)

Note: Damage will occur if PV Voc > 550V.

4. Connect the strings of solar panels to the system as shown on pages 9/10.

5. Parallel strings per MPPT must be the same voltage, PV1A/B must be the same voltage if both are used (see

Fig. E). It is OK if panels for panels on the same MPPT to face different directions.

6. Panel frame grounding can be done to any ground in the home via 12AWG wire. Mounts usually bond

frames together, so only 1 ground wire is needed.

Note: Max Panels in Series (Rule of Thumb, always verify the string characteristics are within spec):

60 Cell: 10 72 Cell: 9 96 Cell: 6

April 21, 2021 10

If using Y-Connectors: (Running two strings in parallel, totaling 20A (self-limiting) Note: separate wires can be

used per string, and string minimum is usually 5 panels or 175V)
