How to Choose the Right Inverter for Your Battery?

1. Voltage Compatibility
The nominal voltage of your battery must match the inverter's DC input range.

GSL's 16kWh battery operates at 51.2V (nominal).

Sol-Ark inverters are fully compatible with 48V-class lithium batteries, including GSL's 51.2V LFP models.

A perfect voltage match means stable charging/discharging and efficient energy transfer.

2. Communication Protocol (BMS ↔ Inverter)
A smart lithium battery comes with a Battery Management System (BMS). For optimal performance and safety, the BMS must communicate with the inverter via protocols such as CAN or RS-485.
GSL 16kWh batteries use a Smart BMS with CAN protocol.
Sol-Ark supports CAN communication, allowing real-time data sharing between the battery and inverter.
This ensures smooth operation, better control, and advanced protection functions.

3. Current Ratings and Load Compatibility
Check that the charge/discharge current of the battery supports the inverter's power output.
GSL's 314Ah battery can deliver high continuous current, easily handling residential inverter loads.
It supports peak discharge rates suitable for startup loads like pumps and appliances.
Ensures your inverter won't overload the battery.

4. Monitoring and Smart Features
Modern systems should support remote monitoring, giving users full visibility and control.
GSL 16kWh battery includes WIFI & App monitoring.
Sol-Ark also offers comprehensive mobile and web-based monitoring tools.
Easily track system performance, battery health, and power usage anytime.

5. Certification and Safety
Always pair certified components to ensure safety, insurance compliance, and international standards.
GSL 16kWh battery is certified to CB IEC62619, CE, UN38.3, MSDS.
Sol-Ark inverters are UL1741, IEEE 1547, and NEC 690 compliant.
Certified systems are safer, legally compliant, and easier to install globally.

6. Application Suitability
Before finalizing your inverter, consider your use case:

Backup power with generator, Sol-Ark's generator input port + GSL batteries

Conclusion: A Perfect Match for Smart Energy
Pairing the GSL-W-16K 16kWh floor-mounted battery with a Sol-Ark hybrid inverter creates a high-performance, scalable, and safe residential energy storage solution. With full protocol communication, smart BMS, mobile monitoring, and international certifications, this system is ideal for homeowners, solar installers, and off-grid energy users worldwide.
