SunGoldPower SGK-8MAX review
SunGoldPower 8000W 48V Off-Grid Solar Kit, 10.24kWh, 12 x 450W Panels (SGK-8MAX)
By Tom Calder
An 8,000-watt split-phase inverter with 5,400 watts of panels, more than double the 6,500-watt kit's, so the 10.24 kWh battery refills well on a good day. SunGoldPower says up to six inverters can run in parallel, so a system can grow. Twelve large panels need real roof or ground space.
