The SimpliPHI 6.6 stackable batteries from Briggs & Stratton are now featured on OpenSolar’s solar design, sales and project management software that is free for solar professionals.
“Having our new SimpliPHI 6.6 storage system on OpenSolar allows us to connect with more than 25,000 solar electrification professionals who are actively designing and quoting energy storage solutions,” said Sequoya Cross, VP of energy storage for Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions. “OpenSolar provides installers with best practices for integrating solar and energy storage into a cohesive proposal. Plus, it answers a common homeowner question by accurately modeling a system’s future return on investment.”
Introduced last year, the Briggs & Stratton SimpliPHI 6.6 batteries feature a number of advances that make installation easier. They have self-guiding RapidStak connectors that integrate power and communications into a single point without wires or DIP switches. The batteries simply stack on top of one another and click into place, making installation easier and more efficient. Assembling a stack of three can be done in five minutes or less.
They are IP65 rated so they can be installed indoors or outdoors with no additional cabinets required. They can be ground- or wall-mounted inside a garage, shed, utility closet or basement or outside on an exterior wall. Plus, the flexibility of using one, two or three batteries per stack means the system can fit into compact spaces.
In addition, the SimpliPHI 6.6 has full closed-loop integration for advanced communication and broad non-communicating compatibility with any 48V lithium-supporting inverter.
The SimpliPHI 6.6 battery is UL 1642, UL 1973, UN 3480 and UN DOT 38.3 certified and has gone through UL 9540A fire safety testing. In 2024, it secured its UL 9540 Edition 3 certification as a standalone DC ESS and recently passed the earthquake vibration test (GR-63-CORE, Issue 5. Section 4.4.1) conducted by Element U.S. Space & Defense.
The SimpliPHI 6.6 battery has a 10-year limited warranty and is guaranteed to retain 75% capacity after 10 years.
