Overview:

The SunRise Home Battery is an Australian-made battery system designed to reduce electricity usage. The system generates and stores solar power for use day & night. The SunRise is fully certified to AS4777.2, IEC62109-1/2 & AS60950.1 and conforms to the Battery Safety Guide.

This manual describes the installation of the Model: SGS 1-PH AUTO of the SunRise System.

A 3-phase version of the SunRise is also available.

The SunRise system can be installed with or without batteries. Batteries can easily be added later, as demand grows and budgets allow. Batteries must be of the same make and model.

• When installed with batteries excess PV solar electricity generated during the day will be used to reduce the amount of electricity imported from the grid at night. In addition the battery ensures essential household loads (fridges, lights etc) can be powered during a power outage. This uses an automatic transfer switch included inside the SunRise unit.

• When installed without batteries excess PV generated during the day can be exported to the grid, which reduces your electicity bill. Ensuring you have the best electricity plan from your provider will improve your return.

• The SunRise system can also easily be retrofitted to an existing PV solar system.

The SunRise combines an AS4777.2 certified SunGrow 5kW inveter (SH5K-30) with the following battery options:

Up to 5 LG batteries (48Vdc Lithium-ion 6.5KWh/3.3kWh nominal each – Model EM048126P3/EM048063P3).

Up to 5x PylonTech (48Vdc Lithium-ion 3.55kWh nominal each – Model US3000)

Up to 4 BYD Batteries (48Vdc Lithium-ion 2.56kWh nominal each – Model Battery Box Pro 2.5)

This Installation Guide should be read in conjuction with the following Sungow, LG, PylonTech or BYD User Manuals supplied with the system.

Installation should conform to AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 5033 & AS/NZS5139.

A total of 6.65kW of solar panels can be connected to the systems two MPPT’s to claim full STCs (1.33 x 5.0kW). The maximum DC string voltage is 600Vdc.

The SunRise SGS system can be remotely monitored via SunGrow’s web portal or via their their app (iSolarCloud app).

RedEarth Energy Storage can also provide a remote monitoring service to ensure ongoing operation of the SunRise battery system. Contact RedEarth Tech Support on 1800 733 637

Overview:

Page 4: SunRise Home Battery System · RedEarth facility in Brisbane. Parts supplied with the SunRise system: 1. SunRise enclosure – pre-wired and factory tested with the Sungrow inverter

A typical complete installation of the SunRise Home Battery will require the electrical connection of the following cables;

1. Install AC cables from the Main Switch Board (MSB) directly to the terminals inside the SunRise system (Grid and EPS/Essential load supplies). Either a single 3Core + Earth cable or two 2C+E cables of sufficient diamter for the distance can be used.

2. Install the supplied current monitor wire (from SunRise system to MSB) to monitor the grid feed-in level. A standard Cat5/6 cable can be used.

3. Connection of up to 2 arrays of PV solar panels to the DC Isolator in the SunRise system. It is important to connect the +ve and -ve cables of each string to the correct terminals in the DC Isolator (maximum of 6.65kW of panels and maximum PV string voltage of 600VDC)

4. Optional – Cat5E internet cable (to provide more reliable comms for remote monitoring) WiFi is included in the system as default.

In addition, the installer will need to program the Sungrow inverter for the customer’s specific requirements (e.g. level of grid-feed allowed by the utility) Use either the Sungrow iSolarCloud APP operating in local mode or via the display panel on the front of the inverter (remove the vent cover on the left side of the SunRise to access the inverter’s display panel)

Finally, the installer should connect the SunRise to the customer’s internet if remote monitoring is required. (see OEM SunGrow documents included with the SunRise system for additional details)

Note: The SunRise is not designed to act as the customers main switch board (MSB) as it does not include space for additional main & customer circuit breakers or RCDs.

Following these steps will ensure you have a quick and easy install of the SunRise system:

1. Learn about the SunRise system and its options from RedEarth Energy Storage. (and read this manual) 2. Confirm the end-customers’ requirements, and which SunRise options are required. (for example, number of

batteries, backup option required, wall-mount?) 3. Transport, position and assemble the SunRise system. The SunRise can be installed on a concrete base or

mounted on heavy duty air-con brackets (available from RedEarth). The solar array is installed separately. 4. Wire the SunRise system to the Main Switch Board (MSB), including the grid feed CT monitor, and connect

the Solar arrays. If remote monitoring is required, then connect the internet (hard-wired or WiFi) Back-up capability: To get the most benefit from the Back-up capability of the SunRise, the MSB loads should be split into essential and non-essential loads. Appropriate MCBs, labels and a By-Pass switch are included in the SunRise Parts kit.

5. Confirm the wiring is correct and then power-up the SunRise system. With your phone establish a link to the on-board Wi-Fi of the Sungrow inverter. (see included Sungrow manual if required) and then program the Sungrow to meet customer requirements (e.g. maximum feed-in Watts, maximum battery discharge SOC)

6. Setup remote monitoring: Program the Sungrow inverter to access the customer’s local Wi-Fi (if it is to be used, otherwise connect the internet cable). Contact RedEarth during programming to confirm access for remote monitoring of the SunRise system if required. (Tech support 188 733 637)

7. Perform a customer induction (including system monitoring using the Sungrow app on their phone if possible). Apply appropriate labels in/on MSB (see included SunRise Signage Overview document). Complete a commissioning report as required by the CEC and clean-up the job site.

The SunRise system is designed to be easy to install. It is delivered without the batteries installed to make it easier to install in difficult to reach areas.

A video showing the installation is available by scanning the image here. (scan the image at right to view the video)

Additional support is available through video link/face time or by visiting the RedEarth manufacturing facility in Brisbane, Australia. RedEarth’s Tech Support number is 1800 723 637.

RedEarth has additional material on its website: www.redearth.energy

For larger customers RedEarth also offers the option of onsite training either in your facility or on your jobsite.

Confirm details of the job:

• How much solar is required (a maximum of 6.65kW can be connected to the SunRise while still receiving all the STC’s).

• Retro fitting to an existing solar system is easily done. There is no need to touch the existing PV system. The CT from The SunRise system is placed on the incoming line to the house. In that way it also monitors what the existing solar system is doing. This ensures that no more than the installer programmed feed-in, can occur.

• How much battery is required? If back-up power is more important, then more battery should be installed. Additional batteries can be easily added later.

STEP 1: Learn about the SunRise System and its options:

STEP 2: Confirm job details and order the right SunRise options:

7 Steps to an easy install:

Page 10: SunRise Home Battery System · RedEarth facility in Brisbane. Parts supplied with the SunRise system: 1. SunRise enclosure – pre-wired and factory tested with the Sungrow inverter

• If remote monitoring is required, is there internet available? Wi-Fi or hard-wire option? RedEarth can assist with 3G/4G options if required.

• Confirm it is a single-phase house. Note that RedEarth has another version of the SunRise system for 3-phase houses.

• Does the customer require back-up capability? If so, what is the condition of the MSB? Does it have space for the additional 3 poles of switches for the backup system? Do you need to replace some of the existing 2-pole RCDs with 1-pole RCBOs?

• Can the system be placed in a shaded area on or off the ground? How far is it from the MSB? What AC cable size is required for the distance? RedEarth can provide cable. Remember that the essential loads are permanently powered via the transfer switch inside the SunRise (if back-up capability is required)

• Is an optional remote earth fault alarm required, e.g. in the garage?

The SunRise System is delivered in individual boxes to allow for easy installation on site.

The image at right shows a SunRise system being picked up at a RedEarth facility in Brisbane.

Parts supplied with the SunRise system:

1. SunRise enclosure – pre-wired and factory tested with the Sungrow inverter installed.

2. 1 box for each battery module supplied. These include the correct communication cable as well as pre-terminated DC battery cables of the correct length.

3. 1 x Parts Kit containing all parts to complete the installation of the SunRise battery system in a normal house.

4. 1 x set of manuals including OEM documents for the battery and Sungrow inverter. 5. Optional – Heavy duty wall-mounting bracket set. 6. Optional – 3-Core + Earth Orange Circ cable. To connect the SunRise to the Main Switch Board with only one

cable.

All Circuit breakers and DC Isolators are included within the system, so no isolators need to be attached to the wall.

Positioning of the SunRise system:

The SunRise system is an outdoor rated enclosure so can be installed either indoors (e.g. in a shed) or outdoors.

Stand-off from the floor, wall and ceiling/roof:

The SunRise System is to be installed at least 90mm off the wall to allow space for airflow from the vents and fans. It is designed to be placed either on a concrete base/floor or mounted on 3 heavy duty air-con brackets above the ground. The mounting height of the base should not be >500mm above the ground, to allow positioning of the batteries and inverters during system assembly. At least 500mm clearance is required from the top of the system to the roof/ceiling so that the cover can be removed, and cables checked.

• Distance from any heat source (e.g. hot water, air-con unit, gas heaters): >600mm. • Distance from any equipment including water taps >600mm • Clearance distances from windows and vents >600mm • Do not block the rear vents by pushing the unit right up against a wall.

STEP 3: Transporting, positioning and assembling the Sunrise System:

Page 11: SunRise Home Battery System · RedEarth facility in Brisbane. Parts supplied with the SunRise system: 1. SunRise enclosure – pre-wired and factory tested with the Sungrow inverter

• Do not block the air inlet by placing objects hard up against the sides of the system. Air enters through the base of the system.

• Install in a shaded area outside direct sunlight.

1) Ground mount:

The SunRise can be bolted to the ground to prevent movement. Four holes are provided, where dynabolts can be inserted. The holes should be covered with 25mm caps (supplied) to maintain the IP43 rating of the system. (Note: prepare the wiring and conduit to pass into the rear of the SunRise system prior to bolting it to the ground.

The image on the right shows the four holes for securing the system to concrete, as well as one of the 25mm caps.

The image at left shows one of the holes looking down from the top.

2) Wall mount:

The system can also be wall mounted using standard heavy-duty airconditioning mounting bracket (available from RedEarth). These images show a SunRise system installed on a wall. It is important that the air-con brackets are correctly assembled to provide their full rated strength. In addition the brackets themselves need to be screwed to the wall; not just the supporting rail.

The SunRise system is then bolted to the three brackets using the six bolts holes in its base.

Airflow routing:

Air enters the SunRise system through four 300mm square vents. Air exits the system via four 125mm square openings in the rear of the unit. These openings contain either a fan or a vent. In hotter climates up to 4 fans can be installed. The fan operation is controlled by a thermal switch located near the top of the unit. This should be set to activate the fans at 20-30 degrees. A minium distance of 90mm is recommended be allowed between rear of the unit and any wall to allow for adaquate airflow and 300mm to the sides to allow for access to the panels.

STEP 4: Wiring up the Sunrise:

Page 13: SunRise Home Battery System · RedEarth facility in Brisbane. Parts supplied with the SunRise system: 1. SunRise enclosure – pre-wired and factory tested with the Sungrow inverter

A typical complete installation of the SunRise will require the electrical connection of;

1. AC cables to the Main Switch Board (MSB) (Grid/Solar and Essential/EPS). If the Backup option is required then the loads will need to be split in the MSB between essential and non-essential loads.

2. Install the CT current monitor in the MSB (use the supplied cable to power the CT monitor from the MSB). Then install the 8 metre long CT current monitor comms cable from the MSB to the Sungrow inverter inside the SunRise system. It can be extended if required.

3. Connect the PV array cables to the PV isolator inside the SunRise 4. Optional – Cat5E internet cable to the SunRise (otherwise use Wi-Fi)

Note: All isolators and MCBs are included in the Sunrise, so no wall-mounted isolators are required.

Note: The SunRise is not designed to act as the customers main switch board (MSB) as it does not include space for additional main & customer circuit breakers or RCDs.

Follow the steps below to connect the SunRise battery system to the property.

1. Remove the aluminium lid of the SunRise enclosure by undoing the screws holding it in place, then lifting it off. Note that the left side panel can also be removed to make it easier to install the Inverter.

2. The SunRise parts kit is inside sent the unit (see image below) o Take the CT meter and install it in the MSB

Page 14: SunRise Home Battery System · RedEarth facility in Brisbane. Parts supplied with the SunRise system: 1. SunRise enclosure – pre-wired and factory tested with the Sungrow inverter

3. Cable entry options: Pass all cables into and out of the unit through the M25 penetrations that are provided in the rear of the enclosure. The cable glands provided in the Parts Kit allow standard flexible conduit to be connected while maintaining the IP rating of the enclosure. (Note: penetrations can be made elsewhere in the enclosure, if more appropriate) Use the provided cable glands or other suitable glands to maintain the IP rating of the system.

4. Connect the external cables; o Decide if the optional wiring for the back-up

feature is required. If it is then in the MSB split the loads into Essential and Non-essential: This allows the Back-up feature to be used to support selected essential loads during a blackout. A maximum of 3kVA can be supplied during back-up operation (5kVA during the day, if PV is connected directly to the SunRise system), however it is recommended to connect far lower loads to the essential circuit as the amount of energy available is limited to the battery capacity (and the solar contribution during the daytime) – The Parts Kit contains a 25A 2-pole MCB to isolate the Inverter (Grid/Solar) and Essential/EPS circuits. In addition, a 63A Changeover switch is included. This is a By-pass switch that directly connects the Essential loads to the Non-essential loads. It is only used if the SunRise system is not operating, or not yet installed. Labels are also included to use in the MSB.

o Connect the AC cables of the Grid and Essential supplies from the Main Switch Board (MSB) directly to the terminals inside the SunRise system (Grid/Solar and EPS/Essential load supplies). A single 3-Core + Earth cable of sufficient diamter for the distance can be used (RedEarth can supply this cable). Otherwise two 2C+E cables can be used. In this case the two earths and neutrals are connected to the Grid/Solar Earth and Neutral terminals. Note that the essential circuits are permanently supplied via the transfer switch inside the SunRise system. This means that twice the distance from the MSB to the SunRise needs to used to determine the cable size for the Essential load circuits.

Page 15: SunRise Home Battery System · RedEarth facility in Brisbane. Parts supplied with the SunRise system: 1. SunRise enclosure – pre-wired and factory tested with the Sungrow inverter

o Connect the PV cables from the Solar arrays (if installed) to the MC4 Connectors coming out of the DC Isolator. They are postioned below the Sungrow backup box labelled PV1 & PV2. The PV DC Isolator is hidden behind a an enclosure to protect from accidential touch.

o The current transducer CT cable (8 meters long) is already connected to the SunGrow inverter. It needs to be routed from the SunRise system back to the MSB.

o Optional internet cable can be connected from the home hub to the inverter. Wi-Fi is available as standard. The inverter cover needs to be removed to plug the internet cable in. The image at right shows where to connect the cable, in position 3.

o Optional Remote Earth Fault Alarm – Terminals are provided inside the SunRise system that provide 230Vac in the case of an Earth Fault. These can be used to power an alarm in a more frequented part of the home, for example the garage. RedEarth can supply a suitable alarm.

PylonTech/BYD Battery

1. Press the Grey On/Off button to switch on the battery. 2. Green LED lights will indicate current SoC.

Start-up the Inverter of the SunRise system:

1. Reinstall the cover of the SunRise system. 2. Switch on the PV Array DC isolator on the right side of the system. The SunGrow inverter

will turn on if there is power from the PV panels. 3. Once the LG battery has completed its startup procedure, switch on the Main Battery DC

Isolator on the side of the system (if batteries are included). 4. The SunGrow inverter will establish communication with the battery. 5. Next program the SunGrow inverter, as required by the customer and utility. To do this you will need to

refer to the Sungrow manuals provided with the SunRise system. o Local Mode link: with your phone establish a link to the on-board Wi-Fi of the Sungrow inverter

using the iSolarCloud app. This requires you to connect to the Wi-Fi signal from the Sungrow inverter. Find it in your Wi-Fi settings. Once you have done this go to Local Mode in the Sungrow App and you will be linked to the inverter.

o Note: all the programming can also be done on the control panel of the inverter itself if you do not want to connect via your phone and Local Mode. To access the control panel remove the vent on the left side of the system as shown here.

o Work through the settings on the SunGrow App. 6. Turn on the AC MCBs and confirm the operation of the system,

including the operation of the EPS system (if batteries are included). Note: the EPS system can support a maximum of 3000VA loads during an outage, and so requires the loads in the MSB to be appropriately split. Note also that if only one LG battery is included then the EPS can only support 3000VA of loads during an outage. This is the maximum power that a single LG battery can provide.

The system should now be fully operational. Check that all readings are as expected. Refer to the trouble shooting guides in the included LG Chem and Sungrow manuals if required.

• The SunRise is either hard-wired to the home internet or uses the customer’s Wi-Fi. • If the customer’s WiFi is to be used, then the SunGrow inverter needs to be programmed to access it. This

will require the customer to provide their WiFi password. Refer to the included Sungrow manuals to setup remote monitoring.

• If there is no internet available RedEarth can supply a 3G/4G dongle as an option.

Contact RedEarth once the system is online and the remote monitoring will be confirmed.

STEP 6: Setup remote monitoring:

Tech Support +61 487 002 451

• Complete the application of labels as required at the MSB. See the included SunRise Signage Overview (additional labels are provided in the Parts Kit)

• If the customer wants to monitor their system, ensure that the Customer has the SunGrow iSolarCloud app on their phone, or they are logged in via their computer, and that they can see their system.

• Complete the commissioning report as required by the CEC. • Clean-up the site and provide the customer with your contact details

If the customer requests additional battery modules in the future, then these can be ordered from RedEarth together with the required communication and battery cables.

The procedure to add extra battery modules is outlined below. The LG battery must be shut down to add modules.

Note that it is best to add extra modules when the existing and new modules are at a similar SOC. RedEarth sends the modules with about 30% SOC. Therefore, it is best to add the extra module once the existing battery has reached a lower state of charge (e.g. early morning)

Note: if the batteries are not at a similar SOC then they will identify this on restarting and an error message will be displayed. Refer to pp31 of the included LG Installation manual for additional trouble shooting information.
