    REFER TO THE SOL-ARK INTEGRATION GUIDE FOR SIMPLIPHI POWER PHI BATTERIES, LINKED HERE, FOR APPLICATIONS USING CORE POWER PHI BATTERIES THAT DO NOT INCLUDE A NETWORKING COMMUNICATIONS PORT. More information on SimpliPhi products can be found on our website at https://simpliphipower.com/. SimpliPhi Product Documentation can be found at https://simpliphipower.com/product-documentation/.
  • Page 5 (see Figure 1 above). SimpliPhi and Sol-Ark recommend against using the 100 Ohm resistor included with the Sol-Ark equipment to charge the Sol-Ark’s capacitors when connecting the SimpliPhi Batteries for the first time (as described in the Sol-Ark Install Guide Owner’s Manual).
  • Page 6 The cable length from the last AmpliPHI Battery in the chain to the Inverter cannot exceed 40m (131 feet). Figure 4: Sol-Ark’s Battery Networking Connection Port SimpliPhi Power, Inc. 3100 Camino Del Sol Oxnard, CA 93030, USA (805) 640-6700 info@simpliphipower.com...

  • Page 7: Battery Bank Sizing

    Specifically, when operating in off-grid mode, the Sol-Ark shuts down when the current discharged from the battery bank to the loads exceeds 120% of the Sol-Ark’s Max A Discharge parameter value for 10 seconds. SimpliPhi Power, Inc. 3100 Camino Del Sol...

    80% maximum Depth of Discharge (DoD). Maintaining the PHI battery at this DoD ensures the greatest level of SimpliPhi battery health. This affects the “Start %” parameter in the Charge menu and the “Shutdown”, “Low Batt”, and “Restart” parameters in the Discharge menu, marked in red in Table 1 on page 12.

  • Page 14: Grid Setup

    THE PAIRED QUANTITY OF STANDARD (NON-COMMUNICATIONS) PHI BATTERIES, AN INCREASE OR DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AMPLIPHI BATTERIES IN A BANK RESULTS IN AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTED CAPACITY AND CHARGE/DISCHARGE CURRENT SETTINGS IN THE SOL-ARK EQUIPMENT. SIMPLIPHI ASKS THAT YOU CHECK THE ADJUSTED PARAMETERS’ VALUES HAVE AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED CORRECTLY.
  • Page 15 Note: Sol-Ark’s Manual shows these power (W) parameters programmed to 1,000 Watts × PHI Battery Quantity. While there is no harm in using this approximation, the greater values outlined in the tables above may be used.

  • Page 20: Off-Grid

    Due to the fact that many generators’ output frequency is usually less precise than the grid’s, the frequency parameters in the Grid Param menu’s Grid Input tab may also need adjustment to accommodate a wider frequency range: SimpliPhi Power, Inc. 3100 Camino Del Sol Oxnard, CA 93030, USA (805) 640-6700 info@simpliphipower.com...
