The Energizer Homepower Installer App & web-based monitoring platform allow for comprehensive monitoring
& analysis of data captured by the Energizer Homepower HP-6 system. It constantly monitors important data from
the utility grid, inverter, and the battery to ensure that optimal system performance is maintained.
The Energizer Homepower HP-6 Series system can operate in 3 unique application modes: Automatic, Semi-
Automatic and Manual. Each mode follows a unique priority and can be customised to operate as per site
requirements.
1. Automatic Mode – is the default mode of operation. The system determines the energy supply requirement
with the priority: Site Loads > Battery Charge > Grid Export > Battery Discharge > Grid Import.
The operating sequence is as follows:
a. Solar generation supplies the connected loads.
b. When site loads are lower than solar generation, excess solar energy is diverted towards charging
the battery.
The Energizer Homepower HP-6 Series system measures solar generation & energy consumption using its
production & consumption CTs, and then utilises its intelligent algorithms to either charge or discharge its
batteries to reduce consumption from the grid and increase local energy usage. This improves overall energy
eciency by aiding local consumption of solar energy and reducing export to the utility grid.

2. Semi-Automatic Mode – is an optional mode. The system allows for a certain percentage of the solar
generation to be reserved towards battery charging and/or export to grid. The system determines the energy
supply requirement with the priority: Site Loads > Battery Charge (& Grid Export) > Grid Export > Battery
Discharge > Grid Import. The operating sequence is as follows:
3. Manual Mode - is also an optional mode. The system allows for electricity tari arbitrage by customising
battery charge and discharge functions. The battery can be charged on-demand using either solar or utility
grid energy and can be discharged on-demand towards site loads. The entire schedule can be congured on
Energizer Homepower Cloud.
3.1. Maximum State of Charge - This setting is found on the Application Mode window within customer
app/portal. It limits the maximum SOC capacity that the grid can charge the battery to. E.g. If set to 80%,
then the grid can be used to charge until SOC hits 80%. Above this SOC level, the grid will not be used to
charge the battery.
3.2. Blank windows of time - When there are no instructions for the Scheduler entered for a window of time
then the unit will revert to Automatic Mode until it reaches a window of time with instructions.
a. Automatic mode logic:
Site Loads > Battery Charge > Grid Export > Battery Discharge > Grid Import.
a. Solar generation is mainly utilised to supply the connected loads.
b. When site loads are lower than solar generation, excess solar energy is divided between battery charging
and export to utility grid. E.g., if PV Charge % is set to 70%, then 70% of solar generation is used to charge
the battery, and the remaining (30%) is exported to the utility grid.
c. When site loads are lower than solar generation and battery is full (SoC 100%), the excess solar generation
is exported to the utility grid.
d. When site loads are greater than solar generation (or at night time), energy is primarily discharged from
the battery to supply these loads.
e. When the site loads are greater than both solar generation and/or battery discharge combined, the
balance is drawn from the utility grid.
3.3. Percentages - Within the Scheduler, you will need to input a percentage for the instruction you want the
Plant to follow.
a. This value is the percentage of the maximum inverter capacity (3600W). E.g. For grid charge, if
you input 60% then only 2160W (~60% of 3600W) will be used to charge the battery from the grid.
c. When site loads are lower than solar generation and battery is full (SoC 100%), the excess solar generation
is exported to the utility grid.
d. When site loads are greater than solar generation (or at night time), energy is primarily discharged from
the battery to supply the loads.
e. When site loads are greater than the sum of solar generation and battery output, the balance is drawn from
the utility grid.

Step 1 – Planning the Installation
Always refer to local electrical standards while planning the Energizer Homepower HP-6 Series system
installation. Select a suitable wall that is accessible, ventilated, not facing direct sunlight and within close
proximity to the Main Switchboard (MSB), and ensure the area is isolated from hazards that may damage the
unit(s) or may be prone to ooding.

When adding Sub Unit(s), it is strongly recommended to install the HP-6M & 6S modules adjacent to one another
using the spacing guide provided. All cables provided with the Sub Unit (HP-6S) cater to this spacing exactly.
However, there is no mandatory sequence for HP-6M/6S placement and for site-specic obstructions (such as
stationary objects, pipes, window ledges etc.), ensure the Sub Unit is installed within a maximum distance of 5m
from the Main Unit.
The bracket has provision for accommodating M6, M8 or M10 fasteners using appropriately sized holes. Select
the appropriate fastener based on the wall material and local building codes. The Energizer Homepower HP-6
Series units can be mounted on a variety of surfaces including wood, metal or concrete walls. Please follow the
recommendations for each surface below:
• Wood & metal stud walls - use a minimum of six (6) fasteners, one for every corner, and a further two in the
next most suitable positions (as shown in Fig. 8).
• Concrete or masonry walls - use a minimum of four fasteners, one for every corner (as shown in Fig. 8).
• Follow the arrows on the bracket to ensure correct orientation.
To ensure the correct position of the HP-6M wall bracket, refer to Fig. 9 that illustrates the position of the wall
bracket in relation to the unit itself.

Use a spirit level to ensure the bracket is level and carefully mark the holes to be used. Drill the holes and install the
wall-mount bracket and ensure the fasteners hold the bracket rmly in place.
