I’ve designed and installed several thousand cantilevered arrays over the last three decades and never had a single issue. Unfortunately, code changes have taken a turn for the worse in most jurisdictions and oftentimes disallow cantilevering. Sky SimsHttps://EcologicalSystems.org732-462-3858On
Hi Richard;
Off list, what was your outcome from Simpliphi? Did they make any deal
with you? What did you put in as replacements?

The auxiliary charger was only used after Simpliphi recommended it.
This was also a requirement before they would even issue an RMA: charge
each battery individually for 2 hours with a separate DC power supply or

About 4 years ago I wrote about my failure of Simplify in service 3 years.
after much delay, I took each unit to shop and charged each one on bench

Oddly enough we're getting ready to replace our 22 year old 48v bank of
Rolls Surrette batteries at our offgrid Design and Training Center in
Western NY with a set of Lithium batteries.The reason for the jump to
Lithium is because of the numerous request by clients for them over the

Hi Ray
We had a complete failure of 6 Simpliphi batteries with the same symptoms
you found.
Another installer had replaced the inverter with an XW and appeared to
leave the charger programing on factory defaults along with temp
compensation so when the generator was called for it would rise to
I've been having the same thoughts about Li and off-grid systems. It used
to be that I would install a system and then hear back from the clients a
decade later when it was time for new batteries. Now, almost every other
week I'm dealing with Li related issues (that I feel obligated to pay for).
Hi RayI’m going more and more with same oem for systems with lithium. Specifically so I don’t have an issue with finger pointing between OEMS. But that sure sucks. JayOn Feb 7, 2024, at 10:17 PM, Ray Walters via RE-wrenches wrote:

For what it's worth, B has a stellar reputation around here for dealer
warranty support on their generators. I know that doesn't always translate
when companies acquire others (a case in point is the disastrous ADT/SunPro
mess). How battery manufacturers will handle LiPO warranty claims is still
