There are dozens of manufacturers in the solar industry now, producing every piece of equipment necessary to build your ideal solar power system. While some are not well known, others have developed a reputation for excellence in the products they produce. One such manufacturer is SimpliPhi Power. But if you’re imagining SimpliPhi churning out one solar panel after another, it’s time to adjust your perspective. SimpliPhi specializes in one particular area of solar power: solar storage. Keep reading to learn more about the rising popularity of solar storage and the products they offer in this realm.
Why Solar Storage?
Not too long ago, you really only had 2 options for designing your solar power system: connect it to the grid, or add a battery bank and disconnect from the grid completely. Inverter designs simply didn’t allow for both types of connections. However, hybrid inverters have since been introduced to the market, and with it, the popularity of solar storage has skyrocketed. The exploding demand for hybrid solar power systems opened up space in the market for specialized manufacturers just like SimpliPhi.
SimpliPhi Power, rather than trying to produce all the equipment needed for a solar power system, has chosen to pursue excellence in producing solar batteries instead. This has allowed them to focus on efficiency and convenience while providing a variety of energy storage options. A few of their more popular products are outlined below.
PHI Batteries
SimpliPhi offers 2 different batteries in this category: the PHI 3.8 and the PHI 2.9. Both are lithium ferro phosphate, or LFP, batteries. This battery configuration is noted for its safety and reliability. They both offer long life cycles and high efficiency ratings for consistently high performance over an extended period of time. Really, the only difference between the 2 is their size. The PHI 3.8 is a 48V, 3.8 kWh battery, making it best for larger applications, while the PHI 2.9 is better for smaller systems, with only 24V and 2.9 kWh.
AccESS Energy Storage System
This fully integrated, pre-configured energy storage solution is an excellent option for those who really just want to “plug and play” their solar power storage. The system includes PHI batteries, a Schneider inverter, charge controllers, and all the necessary components to connect it to your system. This turnkey solution offers easy installation for both hybrid and off-grid systems.
PowerBank
The PowerBank is a portable energy storage solution that is ideal for remote locations, emergency backup power, or mobile solar power systems, such as those installed on an RV or camping trailer. It includes PHI batteries, an inverter, and a solar charge controller, all rolled up in a compact, rugged package that’s easy to travel with.
While this is far from a comprehensive list, hopefully this gives you an idea of the kind of energy storage solutions you can find from SimpliPhi Power.
