Hardened backup power for your home: Sol-Ark SA-12K-EMPKIT
Why You'll Love The Sol-Ark SA-12K-EMPKIT
-
Protection most inverters simply don't have. The included EMP hardening kit is designed to shield your system against electromagnetic pulses, solar flares and lightning strikes — guarding the most expensive component in your setup against the events you can't control.
-
Power for the loads that actually matter. With 120/240V split-phase output and a 24,000W surge for 10 seconds, it starts and runs heavy inductive loads like HVAC systems and well pumps without complaint.
-
One box instead of four. Inverter, charge controller and system monitoring are combined into a single unit, which cuts installation time, component count and the number of things that can go wrong.
-
Built to live outdoors. A NEMA 3R outdoor-rated enclosure and 10-year warranty mean you can mount it where it suits your build and leave it to get on with the job.
Your life, with the Sol-Ark SA-12K-EMPKIT
There's a particular peace of mind that comes from knowing your power doesn't depend on anyone else — and that the system delivering it is protected.
Lightning takes out solar electronics somewhere every year. Solar flares and electromagnetic pulse events are rarer, but the consequence is the same: the most expensive box in your system, gone, and your home back on the grid's terms.
The Sol-Ark SA-12K-EMPKIT is built for people who would rather not find out the hard way. The EMP hardening kit comes included as standard, wrapping protection around an inverter that's already doing the demanding work of juggling solar, batteries, grid and generator power.
Underneath the hardening, it's a genuinely capable hybrid.
Up to 13,000W of solar comes in across an MPPT range of 150–500V, and you can AC-couple a further 9,600W — useful if you're adding storage to panels you already own rather than starting from scratch. It works with lithium or lead-acid banks on a 48V port, so you stay free to pick the storage that suits your budget and your plans.
Because the inverter, charge controller and monitoring all live inside one NEMA 3R enclosure, the installation stays tidy and there's simply less to fail. With UL1741, IEEE1547 and FCC Part 15 Class B behind it and a 10-year warranty, it's built as a long-term fixture rather than a stopgap.
The Sol-Ark SA-12K-EMPKIT in a nutshell:
-
EMP hardening kit included — designed to guard against electromagnetic pulses, solar flares and lightning strikes.
-
24,000W surge for 10 seconds — starts HVAC, well pumps and other heavy inductive loads with room to spare.
-
13,000W PV plus 9,600W AC coupling — plenty of headroom for a new array or a retrofit onto existing solar.
-
NEMA 3R rating and 10-year warranty — mount it outside and let it work.

Disclaimer: The information on this page is provided for general guidance only and should not be taken as professional, electrical or medical advice. EMP hardening is designed to provide additional protection against electromagnetic pulses, solar flares and lightning strikes, but no protective system can guarantee against damage in all circumstances. The Sol-Ark SA-12K-EMPKIT is a high-voltage, grid-interconnected product and must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician in line with the manufacturer's installation manual and your local codes; grid-tied and generator-connected use may also require permits and utility approval. Every situation is different, so if you have any doubt, please consult a qualified professional before purchasing or installing. Products are used at your own risk.
