Homeowners with little to no loads on during the day (while solar power production is at its peak) might
consider sizing a larger PHI battery bank to take advantage of the entire solar PV output potential for battery
charging. Homeowners that consistently power loads during peak solar power production times may require a
smaller sized battery bank.
4.0 – Program Settings for PHI Batteries
The AmpliPHI battery is capable of automatically communicating many of the battery’s operating parameters
to the Sol-Ark equipment. Parameters that must be manually programmed into the Sol-Ark are in red in Table 1
on page 12.
4.1 – Depth of Discharge
To optimize the PHI batteries’ and overall system’s performance and life, SimpliPhi Power highly recommends
programming the equipment settings for an 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.
CAUTION: IF A FIRMWARE UPDATE IS EXECUTED ON THE SOL-ARK EQUIPMENT, ALL
THE SETTINGS MUST BE REVERIFIED. THE PROGRAMMED SETTINGS SHOWN IN THE
FOLLOWING TABLES MUST BE APPLIED BASED ON DESIRED WARRANTY/CYCLE LIFE.
THE RECOMMENDED IS 80% DEPTH OF DISCHARGE.
4.2 – Inverter and Charger Settings
Refer to Sol-Ark’s Menus and Programming online video
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcXXzgfRT90&t=1497s
) for guidance on programming the settings
outlined in Table 1 below.
P
ress the gear icon to get to the Settings menu (Figure 6), then press Battery Setup (Figure 7) to program the
parameters in Figure 6 and 7 below.
