One of the most important and expensive parts of solar panels is the battery inverter. Their design can either reduce or multiply costs. Discussing this topic, Sol-Ark Unplugged brings listeners a conversation between Sol-Ark CTO Tom Brennan and installer and inverter expert Scott Hunt, Owner of Practical Preppers. “The first hurdle to overcome in designing a solution is sizing the battery and inverter right. We actually created a tool for homeowners that can calculate this for you, because most installers aren't as knowledgeable as Scott,” Brennan shared. Sol-Ark does empower its installer network with seven-day support. They also provide educational webinars, remote programming and online monitoring. The goal is to help the installer find the best settings. Brennan noted that the battery is the biggest expense, and Sol-Ark provides ways to help homeowners recoup those costs. “We're working on a deal that would allow the utility company to ‘lease' your battery to support the grid for about 60 days, which would pay homeowners around $2,000. We're also increasing the power of the inverter without increasing the price.”Hunt also spoke about keeping costs down around inverters. “During install, I prepare systems for future expansions, or I can start out the inverter at half capacity. Every job is custom and specific. It's a systems approach.”Hunt explained he's had very few issues with the Sol-Ark system. In one case, there was a software issue, and he was able to replace the inverter within a day. “It's actually easy to swap out these inverters. Others aren't. Even homeowners can do it.”
