Does this kit include everything I need to install it?
It includes the major system components: the inverter, both batteries, all eight panels, the DC and PV breakers, solar extension cables, the 2/0 AWG battery cables, Z-brackets, and the manuals. What varies is the mounting and building side of the job, and that's site by site. Depending on your site that typically means a rack or cabinet for the batteries, rail racking if you're mounting on a shingle roof or the ground, conduit, junction boxes, building wire, a critical loads panel or transfer switch, generator or shore power input wiring, and labor. Those depend on your structure and your local code, which is why we spec them per site rather than boxing a set that might not fit. Tell us about your install and we'll list exactly what yours needs.
How should the panels be wired?
All eight in one series string, on one of the two MPPT trackers. The trackers need 150VDC before they start working, and eight of these panels in series sit near 280V. Four and four across both trackers lands each string near 140V, below the floor, and neither tracker will harvest. Any string you add later needs at least five of these panels for the same reason.
Can this run my well pump?
Yes. A 1HP pump draws roughly 1,200W running, and 13,000VA of peak capacity covers the startup surge. That's about 7 hours of continuous running from a full battery, which is far more than a pump actually runs in a day.
Can it run central AC?
It will start and run a 2-ton unit. From storage alone that's about 2 hours, and the array generates enough on a good day to run it through the afternoon. What it won't do is run air conditioning and an electric water heater at the same time, because together they exceed 6,500W.
How is this different from the SGM-655M?
Same 6,500W split-phase inverter. This kit carries 3,600W of bifacial panels against 2,220W there, and uses server-rack batteries rather than wall-mount units. If 240V equipment is part of your daily routine rather than an occasional event, the larger array is the reason to be here.
How much energy will this generate daily?
The 3.6kW array produces roughly 14 to 18kWh per day at 4 to 5 peak sun hours, and more where the rear face picks up reflected light. Actual output depends on your location, season, panel angle, and shading.
Can I add panels or batteries later?
Yes. The inverter takes 10,000W of PV against the 3,600W included, and the second MPPT tracker is sitting empty and ready for a new string of five or more panels. Battery capacity expands by adding SG48100P units alongside the first two.
Can I install this myself?
Many customers do. The line worth drawing is where the system meets your building: setting the inverter, running PV, and wiring the battery bank are within reach for someone with real electrical experience, while tying into an existing house panel is work for a licensed electrician.
Is LiFePO4 safe?
It's the safest widely available lithium chemistry, with strong thermal stability, long service life, and minimal maintenance. Both batteries include BMS protection against overcharge, deep discharge, and short circuit.
