1. These settings are calculated by multiplying the per-battery value by the number of batteries in the
connected battery bank.
2. Max A Charge refers to the maximum charge rate from the solar PV array. Programming this value to
the maximum value versus the reduced-stress value does not impact the AmpliPHI Battery Warranty.
3. If the Auto Generator Start is utilized, the AGS is triggered when the batteries reach this set State of
Charge (SoC) percentage. Once triggered, the generator charges the batteries until they reach
approximately 95% SoC, at which point the generator turns off. This 95% SoC parameter is not
programmable.
4. 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 AmpliPHI Battery Warranty.
5. By default, battery charging from the solar PV array is prioritized over generator or grid charging.
6. When the battery has reached the Absorption voltage setpoint, the Sol-Ark utilizes constant-voltage
regulation to maintain the battery at the programmed Absorption voltage. The Absorption phase lasts
until the batteries charge at 2% of the programmed Ah size. For example, one AmpliPHI 3.8 battery
(rated at 75 Ah), will remain in the Absorption charging phase until the number of Amps used to
charge the battery decreases to 1.5 Amps DC (2% of 75Ah).
7. While the AmpliPHI Battery does not require an Equalization charge, programming Equalization to
the voltage, frequency and duration outlined in the table above ensures that the Sol-Ark’s internal
SoC meter re-sets to 100% SoC every 30 days.
8. Smart Loads are no longer powered via solar and/or batteries when the batteries’ SoC level drops
below this programmed Smart Load OFF Batt value.
9. Smart Loads are powered via solar and/or batteries when the batteries’ SoC level exceeds this
programmed Smart Load ON Batt value.
10. The Sol-Ark stops charging the batteries and powering the loads from the AC Coupled solar PV array
once the batteries’ SoC level reaches the Smart Load OFF Batt value.
11. The Sol-Ark triggers the AC Coupled solar PV array to produce power (powering the loads and
charging the batteries) when the batteries’ SoC level exceeds this programmed Smart Load ON Batt
value.
