Friends:
This is a follow up on the question I asked about anyone having actual experience integrating Simpliphi batteries with a Trace SW inverter system. I read the battery and integration manuals carefully and spoke with Simpliphi tech support. The systems are absolutely compatible but only if the inverter and charge controllers are programmed correctly. Therein is the problem: If the SW inverters lose DC power, the programming is erased and the inverters reset to factory defaults. These default settings are not acceptable for safe operation of the Simpliphi batteries. If the client is capable of determining when the settings have been reset and can reprogram the inverters when needed, then maybe the design is acceptable. In the case I am working on, the client does not have these capabilities. It was decided to replace the dead batteries with the same AGM style batteries currently in use, not the Simpliphi. Thanks for your input. William Miller Miller Solar 17395 Oak Road, Atascadero, CA 93422 805-438-5600 www.millersolar.com CA Lic. 773985
