Sol-Ark Introduces the SmartLoads-14

Plano, Texas Jan 11, 2022 (Issuewire.com) – Plano, Texas:  Sol-Ark, a designer and manufacturer of hybrid inverters and related energy storage technologies is launching its new SmartLoads-14 load-management device.  With a strong reputation for best-in-class technology and world-class customer support, since its inception in 2013, the Sol-Ark team has continuously advanced by adding real value to home and business owners’ pursuit of true energy independence and resilience.  The Sol-Ark family of hybrid inverters, the SA-5K, SA-8K, and SA-12K have become the ‘go-to’ industry workhorses for solar plus energy storage and the SmartLoads-14 is sure to be a welcome addition to the Sol-Ark line-up.

The SmartLoads-14 ‘smart panel’ is an AI-driven smart load panel that is designed to be used in conjunction with a home’s existing electrical distribution panel providing fourteen (14) 100A circuits.  The SmartLoads-14 can be used as a standalone energy management system providing control over the fourteen circuits while being responsive to the electrical consumption as well as the homeowner’s needs.  A smartphone app easily allows real-time user-defined circuit prioritization, scheduling and mode automation, control, and optimization of energy usage.  When combined with a solar PV system and Sol-Ark hybrid inverters, the SmartLoads-14 can help optimize both overall performances, as well as a system’s ROI (return on investment) while enabling a new level of visibility and control.  Improving overall energy efficiency and reducing peak demand, the SmartLoads-14 maintains cost savings as a priority by intelligently using all available renewable energy assets to maximize savings. 

The Sol-Ark SmartLoads-14 panel is powerful, efficient, fast, and sophisticated, with a number of features and advantages such as:

• Grid-tied and off-grid capable
• 4ms transfer time
• Machine learning/AI auto-learning profiles for each circuit
• User-programmable for discrete control of each circuit (prioritization, etc…)
• Multiple service voltages – 120V/240V and 120V/208V 3-phase
• Scalable solution – can ‘parallel’ up to 15 units
• NEMA 3R outdoor-rated enclosure
• Fast, efficient, and easy installation
• Redundant power supplies and manual bypass for each circuit
• Local monitoring via app for user control
• OpenADR 2.0 compliant for utility connectivity (VPP and DR programs)

The Sol-Ark SmartLoads-14 panel will be available for shipments in Q1 of 2022 and can be purchased throughout Sol-Ark’s network of distributors across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean.
