Sol-Ark Integration Guide

Notes:
a) The settings shown in the latter screenshot are the most conventional ones, hence, adjustments may be required (please
see the table below).
b) The approach described in the note "2b" applies while programing this tab as well. Additionally, current setpoint ('A')
must not exceed the generators capability.
b) Larger generators are commonly tied into the grid side of the inverter rather than the dedicated generator input. Make
check-marks and current adjustments accordingly. This fact was kept in mind while creating the last two rows of the table
above.
c) Fortress batteries may be discharged to its full rated capacity without voiding the warranty, but for best overall
experience and battery life, limit the discharge to 80% except for very rare occasions. Here is a list of our suggested
triggers:
d) It is acceptable to raise the grid or generator start triggers to increase the reserve capacity of the system.
4. Program the Discharge tab:
Notes
a) At 'Shutdown' state of charge (battery bank charge percentage), inverter prevents battery from powering the loads. The
battery(s) will renew/continue providing power to the loads when the battery bank is recharged to 'Restart' state of
charge. 'Shutdown' and 'Restart' state of charge set-points can be increased to increase the "reserve capacity" of the system,
but that will cause less battery charge usage. The correct shutdown level is specific to the project site.
b) Low battery is an alarm also specific to the project site, integrated with the Sol-Ark monitoring app. We suggest a 20%
state of charge as a low battery alarm level. But it is a good idea to increase it if the 'Shutdown' and 'Restart' set-points are
