“The Sexiest Solar + Storage inverter advances in handling PV, Grid and Battery connections is DC Transformerless…Sol-Ark is a new inverter on the block (or Grid, I suppose) that gives us the Flexibility without losing efficiency. On average, Sol-Ark needs 10-15% less solar panels and 5-30% less storage. That is serious Savings!”
Chris Crowell, Managing Editor “Solar Builder Magazine”

“The Sol-Ark 8k continues to impress us. We have installed 7 units and 3 more are scheduled. We have helped a lot of folks achieve their goals of energy independence and protection from any type of EMP event.”

“It’s so much easier to install and has so many features in a single unit! We were looking for a solar product we could get behind and didn’t find one until the Sol-Ark! We love it and wouldn’t use anything else.“

“5 stars are just too few.
I upgraded from the 3K to the 8K and I just finished installing it. It is amazing, the same as the company.
I researched solar systems for 6 years before deciding for Sol-Ark and it has been the best decision of my life, only second to marrying my wife.
The system works totally automatic, does all calculations and has a very user friendly touch screen with so much info that you may need. it comes with features as sell back and power your home when there is excess of power on the solar panels.
Check their “smart load” feature that even let you connect heavy loads to the system to be powered by the solar panels.
Tom and his team are just the best and customer service is the best I have seen in my life. They are just like “good old friends”! They are always there when you need them! Just incredible in this age we are living.
If you are from this part of Texas and want to see an installed system in service, just contact me. I will be glad to show and help with the best solar system. Sol Ark!!!!!

I am very happy with my Sol-Ark unit. It is working great. The unit installed easily (by my husband) and customer service was fantastic.
I can honestly say that Sol-Ark has the best customer service of any company we have deal with. One time my husband called them at 8 pm thinking he’d leave a message – but they answered the phone! The staff is very professional and knowledgeable. They stand behind their products and they truly care about their customers.
Thanks Sol-Ark!

“During this past year, I had been researching a method to backup my 240 Volt ¾ HP submersible water pump in the event of a power failure using solar power. Some providers said it couldn’t be done, while others wanted to charge outrageous sums of money to make it work.
Last August, I came across an ad for Sol-Ark on a website, an EMP-protected inverter. I called the company in Texas, and the helpful, knowledgeable staff confirmed that their system could provide portable back-up protection for my water pump at a reasonable cost. The company actually sells complete portable kits for this kind of application. The staff answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly.
When the kit arrived on a skid by FED EX, it was well packed and arrived in perfect condition. The accompanying manual was well written and well illustrated. My local electrician had no problems installing it. Once the system was up and running, I was able to talk to the senior engineer for the company to help me learn how to operate the system under different conditions. The engineers and the display on the inverter even diagnosed a troublesome problem with my water pump that needed repair.
For a 240 V ¾ HP submersible pump, my system consists of a SOL-ARK inverter, 6 270 watt Jinko solar panels, all wiring, a helpful detailed manual and eight 125 AH gel batteries. The portable system automatically turns on when the power fails. The solar panels can be removed from the garage and installed on the lawn during daylight hours using their own portable stands to recharge the batteries. I’m very pleased with the system and how it operates.
Portable Solar provides outstanding customer service and they have been a pleasure to work with.”

“We bought the Sol-Ark and it was our first time buying and using solar. We did a lot of research and decided on Sol-Ark because it is EMP hardened and user friendly. When it arrived, it was wrapped expertly and very well protected. My husband started installing it right away and with a few phone calls to Tom the engineer at Portable Solar it was up and running in four days. My husband found it very easy to install all fifteen solar panels and the Sol-Ark unit and sixteen batteries. He thought it was a very doable and easy process. And he liked it so much we are buying the new SolArk 8K when it comes out, we are on the waiting list for it.
With the new Sol-Ark 8K and our smaller Sol-Ark unit we should be able to run everything. I did find that there is a somewhat downside to having the Sol-Ark. One day, my dish washer wouldn’t work, so I called the repair man and made an appointment to get it fixed. To my embarrassment I had to call him back and cancel the appointment. Explaining to him everything else in the house was working the TV and lights so I didn’t know the electricity had gone out. And the dishwasher will work as soon as they get the grid up and going. You should of heard him laughing!!
The highlight of having the Sol-Ark came one night when I was in the chicken coop. I knew a storm was moving in, so I ran down to close the chickens up. When I walk in the barn a big bolt of lightning hit the transformer out in front of our house. It blew out the lights in the chicken coop, you should have heard them pop! I jumped three feet off the ground and ran back to the house. The transformer was on fire everyone lost power for 12 hours, except us with our Sol-Ark. The last time that happened (a couple of years ago) we lost the TV and phone and a lot of other things. This was one of the reasons we got the Sol-Ark because it has lightning protection built in. This time we lost nothing except the light bulbs in the chicken coop, which is connected to the grid, no Sol-Ark in there yet! We were so lucky, the Sol-Ark had us covered.
We are seniors so don’t let age or lack of knowledge stop you. Your age doesn’t matter and Sol-Ark company will help you when you get stuck, just ask for Tom.”
