Example B: Two PHI 3.8 kWh-25.6V
nominal
batteries (used in a 24-Volt system) must be paired with a 2,000-
Watt solar PV array wired to a 100 Amp-rated charge controller. In this case, the 2,000-Watt solar array is
used to determine the minimum PHI Battery quantity needed to prevent over-charging from the solar PV.

Refer to the Battery Bank Sizing for Maximum Instantaneous Charge Rate tables in Appendix B of this
Manual for a complete list of common charge controllers and the minimum quantity of PHI Batteries those
controllers need to be paired with to ensure that the PHI Battery bank does not over-charge (assuming that
the charge controllers’ full current output rating is utilized). Failing to do so will destroy the PHI batteries
and Void the Warranty.
3.2.3 – Sizing for Maximum Instantaneous Charge Rate (AC Coupled)
In an AC Coupled system, charge controllers do not regulate the PV solar array’s output, and many battery-
based inverters fail to effectively regulate the array’s output for battery charging. Therefore, in an AC
Coupled system, SimpliPhi assumes that all the connected PV array’s potential power output will charge the
system’s batteries. Determine the minimum quantity of PHI Batteries needed to prevent over-charge from
the solar PV array by dividing the solar array’s power rating by the MAX Continuous Charge Rate per PHI
Battery (found in Table 1.0 or on the relevant battery’s specification sheet).
Example: Four PHI 3.8 kWh-51.2V
nominal
batteries must be paired with 6 kW of AC Coupled solar PV to
ensure the PHI Battery bank does not over-charge from the solar array.
