1.0 – Introduction
This integration guide covers the recommended set up and configuration of Samlex America equipment
for optimizing performance with SimpliPhi PHI batteries. More information on SimpliPhi products can be
found on our website: https://simpliphipower.com/.
Samlex America offers many products which are too numerous to be covered here. The specific Samlex
products covered in this guide include, but are not limited to:
• EVO-2212 Inverter/Charger
• EVO-3012 Inverter/Charger
• EVO-2224 Inverter/Charger
• EVO-4024 Inverter/Charger
• EVO-RC-PLUS Remote Control
• EVO-RC Remote Control
Note: Only EVO series Samlex inverters are currently compatibile with SimpliPhi’s batteries.
For additional information about the Samlex America products covered in this guide, refer to the following
documentation:
• Samlex Evolution Series Inverter/Charger Ower’s Manual

2.0 – Battery Bank Sizing
A properly sized PHI battery bank should be at least double (2x) the kW rating of the inverter(s) and have
a C/2 rating greater than the maximum charge controller rating. Depending on the specifications of the
equipment used in the system, sizing the PHI battery bank based on these two criteria may yield different
results. Therefore, the best practice is to calculate the PHI battery bank based on both criteria and use
the greater of the two results as the minimum quantity. We can compare these two calculation methods
assuming the nomenclature below:
• Battery rated power = Bat
kW
(typically @ C/2)
• Inverter power full load = Inv
kW
• Maximum battery charge current = I
BatChrgMax
• PV charge controller maximum = I

• Recommended minimum number of batteries = B
