Battery Communications Integration Guide

Sol-Ark 5K / 8K / 12K (Outdoor)
The Outdoor-Rated Sol-Arks achieve communications through a single RJ-45 port labeled
“Battery CAN Bus.” This port combines the pin configurations of the RS-485 and CAN port on
the indoor-rated 12K.
The port is shown below in detail, alongside a pin diagram and detailed pin configuration.
NOTE: The outdoor-rated systems have a “Modbus RS-485” port, which is not for
battery communications and is currently not implemented.
