Sol-Ark 8K-2P-EMP Residential Hybrid Inverter Review
TThe Sol-Ark 8K-2P-EMP Residential Hybrid Inverter is a transformerless DC device that can convert up to 11,000W of solar power into 8,000W of continuous AC power. It features two MPPT trackers, enabling it to handle multiple PV strings with a wide voltage range (175-425V). The inverter has a 48V lithium or lead-acid battery input with a capacity range of 50-9900Ah and a 3-stage charging controller with equalization. It supports both grid-tied and off-grid operation, with a backup transfer time of 4ms, and includes various communication options like Wi-Fi and LAN.
What sets the Sol-Ark 8K-2P-EMP apart is its advanced EMP hardening technology. While most of the protection is built into the Sol-Ark itself, the inverter also includes additional EMP suppressors to protect home appliances and solar panels. The Sol-Ark 8K-2P-N comes with: 20 small suppressors and 40 big supressors.

Can Solar Electronics Really Survice an EMP?
Battery Agnostic*
One of the key advantages of Sol-Ark inverters is their battery agnostic design. This means that homeowners can choose from a wide range of 48V battery chemistries, including both lead-acid and lithium-ion options. This flexibility allows customers to select a battery that aligns with their specific needs, preferences, and budget.
*30K-208V & 60K-480V Models are only compatible with Lithium Batteries
Time-of-Use Optimized
Sol-Ark inverters come equipped with advanced time-of-use (TOU) metering capabilities, enabling homeowners to track and optimize their energy usage in real-time. By leveraging TOU rates, users can strategically charge their batteries during off-peak hours when electricity prices are lower and discharge stored energy during peak hours when rates are higher.
Grid Export Control
Under NEM 3.0 regulations, managing grid export is crucial to avoid exceeding export limits and incurring additional charges. Sol-Ark inverters tackle this challenge head-on with their built-in grid export control feature. By precisely regulating the amount of power exported to the grid, Sol-Ark inverters help homeowners stay within the NEM 3.0 guidelines.
