How to Install the Kora Smart Panel

Kora supports AC-coupled solar up to 100A through a dedicated PV breaker and CT metering. This method preserves inverter independence while allowing Kora to monitor and orchestrate energy flows.

Installing Kora with AC Solar (PV Integration)

Kora supports DC-coupled solar through Powerblocks hybrid inverters. DC solar does not connect directly to the Smart Panel. The inverter manages PV and batteries, while Kora manages loads, grid interaction,…

Installing Kora with DC Solar (PV Integration)

(Powerblocks, Powerwall, EcoFlow, etc.)

Kora supports battery-backed systems by managing loads, backup behavior, and grid interaction. The battery system manages inversion and energy storage. Clear separation of responsibilities is critical.

Installing Kora with Supported Battery Systems

(Tesla, Franklin, and Other AC-Coupled Systems)

Third-party batteries integrate with Kora through AC coupling. The battery system controls storage and inversion; Kora controls load shedding, priorities, and monitoring.

Installing Kora with AC-Coupled Third-Party Batteries

(Whole-Home vs Partial-Home)

Kora supports both whole-home and partial-home backup configurations. The choice affects conductor sizing, battery capacity, and runtime expectations.

Backup Power Options

CTs provide the data Kora uses for monitoring, export limiting, and backup logic. Incorrect CT installation is a leading cause of commissioning issues.

Installing CT Clamps and Metering Sensors

EV chargers can be wired through Kora for monitoring, load control, and backup management.

Wiring EV Chargers Through Kora

Kora supports generator integration using a dedicated generator input and breaker. Kora manages transfer logic and load coordination.
