Sol-Ark Introduces The SmartLoads-14

Enabling a New Level of Load Management and Control

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 performance, 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 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.

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
