3.8 – Wire Run Lengths
Two limiter sensors are included with the AccESS Sol-Ark. The limiter sensor wires are 10 feet long, and are
extendable up to 50 feet using equipment from Sol-Ark (contact Sol-Ark directly at 972-575-8875; sales@sol-
ark.com). Consider this distance when deciding the Sol-Ark AccESS unit’s location relative to the home’s main
breaker panel.
3.9 – Sub-panel or Transfer Switch Kit Installation & Wiring
All AccESS Sol-Ark systems must incorporate either an Essential Loads sub-panel or the 10-circuit transfer
switch kit available directly from Sol-Ark (see Figure 7.0). In the case of off-grid systems, all the home’s loads
are on the Essential Loads panel, thereby making the Essential Loads panel the main house breaker panel. Any
distance is permissible between the AccESS Sol-Ark and the Essential Loads panel or Sol-Ark transfer switch
kit, provided wire sizing and voltage drop is in accordance with local codes.
Figure 7.0 – Transfer Switch Kit
Prior to the AccESS Sol-Ark’s installation, determine which of the home’s circuits will be located either on the
Essential Loads panel or the Sol-Ark transfer switch kit. Consider the following:
• The Sol-Ark’s Load Output is protected by a 63 Amp double-pole breaker.
o When grid-connected, the maximum continuous power the Sol-Ark can deliver to the Essential
Loads panel is 40 Amps at 240VAC (9.6 kW
AC
).
o When off-grid, the maximum power the Sol-Ark can deliver to the Essential Loads panel (also
considered the main house breaker panel in an off-grid application) is 33 Amps continuous at
240VAC (7.92 kW
AC
) and 83 Amps peak at 240VAC (19.92 kW
AC
) for 5 seconds.
• The Sol-Ark transfer switch kit (if used instead of an Essential Loads panel) can house a maximum of 10
circuits, all of which must use non-GFI breakers. Contact Sol-Ark (972-575-8875, sales@sol-ark.com) for
transfer switch kit purchase and installation instructions; It is not included in the AccESS Sol-Ark.
