INSTALLATION

How big is the Solivus Arc?

The Solivus Arc has a diameter of 2 metres and a hight of 1.4 metres.

How heavy the Solivus Arc?

The Solivus Arc weighs around 160kg but can be separated in to 3 sections for transportation.

How is the Solivus Arc secured to the ground?

The Solivus Arc is sturdy in nature but will need to be anchored or fixed to the ground in case of extreme weather conditions.  

To secure the Arc to the ground we use a security key to open the back panel, inside the back cupboard is the location of the fixings to the ground and also where you can place ballast (weights) instead.

How is the Solivus Arc connected to my home? Can it power my EV?

The Solivus Arc is not an EV charger. The Solivus Arc is connected to the home distribution board (fuse box), from here the electricity can be used to supplement grid power for your home and EV charger.

WARRANTY & MAINTENANCE

How long will the Solivus Arc last?

We are designing our Solivus Arc to last for at least 20 years and warranty arrangements will be in line with this.

The Solivus Arc can be removed by a qualified electrician, but it may need to be reinstalled by an approved Solivus electrician. It can be easily disconnected, dismantled in to 3 sections and reinstalled at the new property.
