Sol-Ark's Sixth Generation of Hybrid Inverters
The Sol-Ark SA-12K-EMPKIT is a sixth-generation 12 kW all-in-one hybrid inverter designed for residential energy storage and whole-home backup. Featuring EMP hardening, integrated 200A grid passthrough, and seamless generator support, this inverter combines solar, battery, and grid power into a reliable, efficient, and resilient energy management system. With its NEMA 3R enclosure, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.
Whole Home Backup
- Combined battery plus solar power handling of 15kW
- A true whole home back-up in one box. Handles high (current or inductive) loads such as HVAC units and well pumps Hybrid Inverter
200A Grid Passthrough
- Built-in to allow for cleaner, faster system installations. Eliminates the need to choose essential loads and route through a sub-panel
- Less wiring needed
- Fewer components simplify installation and reduce costs Residential Energy Storage Solutions 2x surge protection
2X Surge Protection
- Inverter can handle sudden increases in power and supports a surge up to 24kW for up to 10 seconds
- Handles heavy motors and inductive loads, including well pumps, HVAC & compressors
Dedicated Generator Passthrough
- Incorporate a permanent or temporary generator system at any time with minimal wiring and low complexity
- Get redundant back-up power with generator integration, the convenience of not having to physically start/stop generator and reduce fuel consumption Seamless Grid to Off-Grid Transfer Time
5MS Transfer Time
- “No Glitch” seamless switching from grid to off-grid.
