Page 5: Battery Bank Sizing
While the programming features of the Sol-Ark allow for battery discharging and charging according to specifically set parameters (refer to Section 4 of this Guide), the Sol-Ark does not limit the batteries’ maximum discharge current (Max A Discharge) in an off-grid or grid-failure scenario. -
Page 6: Charge Calculation: Ac Coupled Systems
Charge Calculation: DC Coupled Systems While the PHI battery bank’s charge rate in a DC Coupled system can be limited via Sol-Ark programming (Max A Charge), consider the PHI battery bank’s maximum continuous charge rate in the system’s design. -
Page 7: Program Settings For Phi Batteries
A PHI battery bank utilizing the entire DC Coupled solar PV output potential has 5 batteries. However, programming the Max A Charge in the Sol-Ark to 150 A (4 × 37.5 ADC) would prevent the over-charging of a battery bank that includes only 4 batteries (refer to Section 4 of this Guide for complete programming details). -

- Page 10 SoC, at which point the generator turns off. This 95% SoC parameter is not programmable. A refers to the maximum charge rate from the grid or the generator. If the Sol-Ark is connected to both the grid and a standby generator, the Sol-Ark prioritizes the grid as the batteries’ charging source. Programming the A value to the maximum value versus the reduced-stress value does not impact the PHI Battery Warranty.
