The PS Dark 400 pairs with proven inverter and storage platforms. We spec systems that are reliable, serviceable, and built to last as long as the roof.
Every PS Dark 400 system is built with Tigo TS4-A-O optimizers at the panel level. Optimizers maximize output from each individual panel, eliminate shading losses across the array, and provide panel-level monitoring. They work with any string inverter and add minimal complexity to the install.
A traditional rack-mount array can be designed to avoid shading. A BIPV roof follows the roofline, which means chimneys, dormers, and vents can shadow individual panels at different times of day. Panel-level optimization recovers that production. Tigo also enables rapid shutdown compliance without additional hardware on most installs.
We recommend string inverters paired with Tigo optimizers for all PS Dark 400 installations. The right inverter depends on system size, battery integration requirements, and budget.
Our top recommendation for systems requiring battery integration, generator backup, or whole-home backup capability. Sol-Ark hybrid inverters handle grid-tie, off-grid, and everything in between with a single unit.
A capable hybrid inverter at a lower price point. Well-suited for grid-tied systems with battery backup. Strong monitoring platform and growing installer support network.
A reliable workhorse for straightforward grid-tied installs. Growatt's string inverters have a proven track record and are a solid choice when battery storage is not required at install time.
When the whole system is already running Tigo optimizers, the Tigo TSI inverter creates a unified single-vendor platform with integrated monitoring, rapid shutdown, and battery support.
Battery storage is optional on PS Dark 400 systems but increasingly requested, especially on projects where backup power or time-of-use optimization matters. We size and spec storage to match the inverter platform and the homeowner's goals.
A premium whole-home backup solution. The aGate X gateway manages the full system, prioritizes loads, and integrates cleanly with Sol-Ark inverters. Best choice for clients who want seamless backup with no manual switching.
A cost-effective LiFePO4 battery bank for systems running EG4 or compatible inverters. Stackable to match system size. Good choice for clients adding storage on a defined budget.
Growatt's modular battery system designed to pair with their SPH hybrid inverter line. A straightforward add-on for clients who want to start grid-tied and add storage later.
