SunRise 3ph NS Install Version 1.0 Page 4 of 32 Issue Date 14/08/2022
Overview
The SunRise Home Battery is an Australian-made all-in-one battery system designed to optimise your
customer’s electricity usage, reduce their electricity bill and also reduce theirr carbon footprint.
The system, including solar panels, generates and stores electricity for use day & night, and includes a
backup capability so that your customer’s essential loads remain powered during any blackout.
You and your customer can monitor the system via RedEarth’s EMU app, available for both Apple and
Android phones.
There is also the option for your customer to use their electricity in other ways via RedEarth’s PPP
(Privatel Power Plant), to generate additional income such as through Energy Trading. Contact
RedEarth for additional information.
RedEarth can also provide ongoing monitoring to ensure the system is operating correctly.
The SunRise system can operate without batteries, however much of the functionality will not be
available unless batteries are installed.
 With batteries, PV solar electricity generated during the
day will be used by the home, excess electricity will be
stored in the battery and then exported to the grid,
which reduces the electricity bill. In addition the battery
ensures essential household loads (fridges, lights etc)
can be powered during a power outage. It is also a
requirement for accessing the features of RedEarth’s
PPP.
 Without batteries excess PV generated during the day
can be exported to the grid, which reduces the electicity
bill, however no electricity can be stored for later use.
Note that the SunRise is designed so that batteries can
easily be added at a later date, as demand grows and
budgets allow.
 The SunRise system can also easily be retrofitted to an
existing PV solar system that may already be installed at
the home.
All batteries added later must be of the same make and model and supplied by RedEarth to maintain
the customer’s warranty. A maximum of 9 batteries can be added into the system totalling 31.95kWh.
Battery size has the following effects on system operation,
 Emergency Power: At least 5 batteries (17.75kWh) must be installed for correct operation.
 Full Power: To have the maximum (10kW) power available from the battery system (e.g.
during a power outage) the Sunrise must have seven (7) or more batteries installed.
There 6 SunRise model numbers are based on the size of the battery installed, SRS-3xx NS for this
model with external PV isolators.
A total of 13.3kW of solar panels can be connected to the SunRise system, and be fully claimable via
the government solar rebate scheme. Note that an additional PV inverter can also be added to
increase the total size of the solar system. In a typical home with 3-phase wiring. Up to 20kW of
additional PV inverters can be added, allowing a maximum of 39.9kW of solar panels to be installed.
Note that this many panels will not all fit on a typical roof. Contact RedEarth for more information if
you are looking for a larger grid-connected system.
Finally, SunRise is certified to AS4777.2:2020 & IEC62109.1&2 & AS60950.1 and conforms to the
Australian Battery Safety Guide.

SunRise 3ph NS – Installation Manual
SunRise 3ph NS Install Version 1.0 Page 6 of 32 Issue Date 14/08/2022
Summary of Connections
A typical complete installation of the SunRise Home Battery will require the electrical connection
of the following items:
1. Meter (supplied) installed in the MSB and connected to the SunRise system via Cat5/6
cable or similar. The information from this meter affects the operation of the SunRise
system, make sure the wires are connected the right way around.
2. AC cables from the MSB directly to the Grid terminals inside the SunRise system.
3. AC cables from the MSB directly to the Emergency Power Supply (EPS) terminals inside the
SunRise system.
o Note: the installer will also have to select which circuits are wired on the EPS side of the
system (ie with Back-up support) inside the MSB (“splitting the board”). Putting too many
loads on the EPS circuit can either empty the battery too quickly during an outage or
overload the inverter. Also remember, the inverter requires at least 7 batteries to deliver
the full 10kW of back-up power. Also do not over load any one phase.
4. Up to 3 arrays of PV solar panels are connected to the MC4 conectors pre-terminated
inside the unit. Note that there are two MPPTs of different ratings. It is important that 2
PV string are the same orientaion and length.Note also that in this NS version of the
SunRise external PV Isolators need to be attached to the wall next to the SunRise system
as no internal PV Isolators are included.
5. Optional – an internet cable from the home internet router to the system to provide a
second communication link if the WiFi signal or 4G signal is poor.
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 the Sungrow iSolarCloud APP
operating in local mode to access these settings.
Once the SunRise system is up and running, the installer (or end customer) can call RedEarth Tech
Support and set-up the monitoring.
Note: The SunRise is not designed to act as the customers MSB as it does not include
space for additional main & customer circuit breakers or RCDs. RCD’s must be installed in
the MSB as required by AS4777.2:2020

RedEarth’s SunRise Home Battery System can be internally
accessed by removing the lid. To do this, remove the nine
(9) screws with a Philips screwdriver (PH2), lift and pull the
cover away from the unit and place in a safe location.
INSIDE LAYOUT
The SunRise is divided into three main areas. On the Lefthand
side (LHS) is the Inverter, in the middle are the batteries and the
Battery Management Unit (BMU) and on the Righthand Side
(RHS) are the electrical components and cable connection points
for installation. Prior to leaving the factory the system is tested.
It leaves the factory with the inverter and BMU cabling fully
connected and ready-to-run. The batteries are usually removed
for transportation.
Removal of the cover must only be done by qualified
personnel.

SunRise 3ph NS – Installation Manual
SunRise 3ph NS Install Version 1.0 Page 8 of 32 Issue Date 14/08/2022
LEFT-HAND SIDE (LHS)
Here you will find the Sungrow SH10RT hybrid inverter. All the
connections to it are already made. In this area you will also find
the terminal blocks that connect the comms cable that goes to
the meter you will install in the switch board.
Note: there is a PV isolator built into the side of the Sungrow
inverter (red switch in image at right). This is not accessible when
the inverter is installed in the SunRise system and is left in the ON
position.
If it is necessary to remove the inverter, this is easily
accomplished by popping out the fan above the inverter (by
pushing in the clips holding it in place) to make space.
Middle area
This area is where up to 9 x 3.55kWh HV Pylontech
batteries are installed. A complete set will have two stacks
of batteries with five (5) on the left and four (4) on the
right.
The top slot on the right contains the BMU shown at left.
The BMU is already installed in the SunRise and manages
the connection & communication between the battery
modules and the inverter.
Note: that the battery modules are usually shipped
separately. They are connected in a daisy-chain fashion,
with the DC power cables going from one module to the
next in a series connection. Each module is also connected
to the next with a short RJ45 comms cable.
RIGHT-HAND SIDE (RHS)
Here you will find all the protection devices and the connection
points needed to wire in the system during installation.

5. Understanding Turn on/Shutdown procedures
6. Commissioning the system – turning on and programming and confirming system operation
7. Activating remote Monitoring and Communications – contact RedEarth to confirm remote
operation
8. Customer Handover – including helping with access to RedEarth EMU app
STEP 1. TRANSPORTING
The SunRise system is usually supplied on a pallet, with the batteries in separate cardboard
boxes. It has been factory tested; however, the batteries are usually subsequently removed for
transportation. Without batteries but with all other components in place the system weighs
126kg. Note that the inverter can be removed to further reduce the weight to 99kg if required.
The system weighs 414kg with x9 lithium batteries installed. and should be handled with proper
lifting equipment.
With two slots on the base, the Sunrise can easily be re-positioned with the help of a trolley jack
or a forklift.

SunRise 3ph NS – Installation Manual
SunRise 3ph NS Install Version 1.0 Page 11 of 32 Issue Date 14/08/2022
STEP 2. POSITIONING
The SunRise is designed as a freestanding weatherproof system (IP43).
It is rated for the following Environmental Condition –
Rated maximum ambient operating temperature
50degC for outdoor unconditioned without solar
effects. According to AS4777.2:2020.
This means the SunRise system shall be installed in a shaded
area. If necessary, a solar shade will need to be installed above
the system.
The SunRise system should be located at least 100mm off the
wall to allow for proper ventilation. It should be placed closer to
the solar panels and the MSB to minimise voltage drop/power
loss.
Without batteries the assembled SunRise enclosure weighs
126kg. It should be placed into position, secured to the ground
and wired to the solar panels and house switch board BEFORE
installing the batteries. Note that the inverter can be removed
to further reduce the weight to 99kg if required.
 Allow space around the system (no doors or
windows) to comply with current installation
standards. (See image at right) if the system is within
300m of the wall.
 Note: the material that the wall is made of
(flammability) can influence the allowed positioning,
however, if the SunRise system is installed 300mm off
the wall then the type of material is no longer
relevant. This is a specific advantage of the SunRise
system over some competitor’s systems.
 The SunRise has four holes in the base to allow for
securing. This can be done with dynabolts or material
appropriate screws.
2.1 CLEARANCE FOR VENTILATION
Cooling air flow passes up through vents in the base of the SunRise system and then out through
fans at the rear. The fans are controlled by an adjustable temperature switch set to 35⁰C in the
factory. Do not block any vents or airflow access to the base as otherwise the system will overheat
and shutdown. (Once the system cools down again it should restart automatically).
Note: SunRise can be installed indoors. however, proper additional ventilation must be installed
according to AS/NZS 5139.
Note: Minimum distance between the wall and the back of the SunRise is 100mm
SunRise Minimum Clearance
According to AS/NZS 5139

SunRise 3ph NS – Installation Manual
SunRise 3ph NS Install Version 1.0 Page 12 of 32 Issue Date 14/08/2022
STEP 3. SOLAR INSTALLATION
PV Racking & Panels should be designed and installed in
accordance with AS/NZS 5033 and the latest CEC Installation
guidelines. Caution should be taken in selecting PV panels and
the wiring method to ensure Open Circuit Voltage (VOC) and Short
Circuit Current (ISC) ratings are not exceeded.
3.1 STRING CONFIGURATION
A key design feature of this SunRise 3-phase system is that it has
x2 MPPTs with one is rated for one string and the other is rated
for 2 strings. See table below. This means a total of 3 strings can
be installed but connected to only 2 MPPTs. For this reason,
there are three sets of PV cables with MC4 connectors installed
in the system. The design of the solar array should take this into
account with the two stings connected to the larger MPPT having
the same orientation and string length (PV2 & PV3).
3.2 PV ISOLATORS
Note that in this NS (no-switch) version of the SunRise there are
no PV isolators installed inside the system. Two external PV
isolators need to be installed on the wall next to the unit. See
image at right. The 3 sets of PV cables are then brought into the
rear of the unit and plugged into the 3 sets of MC4 equipped PV
cables inside the unit which are already connected to the
connection points in the base of the inverter (see Step 4.1).
WARNING: The Solar DC Isolator on the SunRise must be in the off position before any solar panels are
connected
PV
array must be
floating (must not be grounded)
Ensure that the array is within the inverter
specification and polarity of the array is correct.
PV modules must
have an
IEC61730 Class A rating

SunRise 3ph NS – Installation Manual
SunRise 3ph NS Install Version 1.0 Page 13 of 32 Issue Date 14/08/2022
STEP 4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The SunRise system must be hardwired to a remote switchboard, which contains a MEN and an earth
stake.
To begin, open the unit as explained in “Opening the SunRise” section and direct your attention to the
RHS. Here are all the connection points needed for installation.
4.1 SOLAR
The SunRise has 2 Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPTs) and
allows for three PV strings to be installed as explained in Step 3.
To reiterate that it is important that the strings connected to
MPPT#2 are the same orientation and length. For ease of
installation, extension cables for the three strings are already
connected to the inverter and terminated with MC4 connectors
as shown in the image at right.
In this NS version of the SunRise two external PV isolators
(supplied) are attached to the wall next to the SunRise system as
explained in Step 3.
To connect the solar power, terminate the three PV strings in the
two external PV isolators. Next run the three pairs of
unterminated cables into the rear of the SunRise, then terminate
with the MC4’s supplied in the parts kit. Once this is done, check
for correct polarity and VOC, then plug the three strings into the
correct MC4s in the system, remembering that #2 & #3 strings
need to be the same orientation and length as they are going to
the same MPPT.
4.2 BATTERY
The SunRise has been tested and commissioned at the RedEarth factory.
If the batteries have been removed for transportation/positioning, follow the procedure below to
correctly wire in the batteries.
This 3-phase SunRise system uses batteries connected in series. This means the
battery voltage will be over 400Vdc when 9 batteries are connected in series.
This is different to many of our other systems that operate at 48Vdc nominal and
connect batteries in parallel to increase capacity, maintain 48Vdc nominal.
To attach the battery cable to the battery terminal, simply push it onto the terminal until you hear a
click.
To remove the battery cable, press the button on the side of the terminal and pull it straight up with
a slight wiggle.
Be careful to connect all the black cable plugs ONLY to the black battery terminals
and the red/orange cable plugs ONLY to the orange battery terminals. If the
battery polarity is connected incorrectly, it will damage the SunRise system.
Before any electrical connections are made, check all internal connections in the
SunRise are secure and have not come loose during transport.
Ensure that all breakers and isolators, as well as those supplying power to the unit,
are turned OFF
.

SunRise 3ph NS – Installation Manual
SunRise 3ph NS Install Version 1.0 Page 14 of 32 Issue Date 14/08/2022
4.2.1 Procedure to install batteries
1. Slide the batteries into the SunRise starting with Battery
#1 position just below the BMU, as shown below. There
must be either zero batteries or a minimum of x5
batteries for the SunRise to operate correctly. This is
because the inverter requires a minimum battery voltage
to recognise the battery.
2. Screw two locking screws in to hold each battery in place.
The image at right shows the nuts already in place ready
for the bolts to hold the battery in place. Only 2 are
required per battery.
3. Connect the DC cables as shown below, starting with
BMU to Battery #1 using the cable with the
orange/orange plugs, which should already be
connected to the BMU. Then install the supplied shorter
battery cables with one orange and one black plug onto
the appropriate battery terminals. Note that you will
need to use the longer cable with orange/black plugs to
connect Battery #4 to battery #5. The last cable is the
longer cable with black/black plugs which goes from the
black terminal of the last battery in the string to the black
terminal on the BMU.
4. Next connect the supplied RJ45 communication cables
from the BMU to each battery in a daisy-chain. Start with
the RJ45 cable from the BMU Link Port to the Link Port 0
of Battery #1. The next RJ45 cable is then connected
from Link Port 1 of Battery #1 to Link Port 0 of Battery
#2. Continue until all batteries are connected in a daisy-
chain. Note that you will need to use the longer RJ45
provided in the Parts kit to connect Battery #4 Link Port
1 to Battery #5 Link Port 0.

SunRise 3ph NS Install Version 1.0 Page 15 of 32 Issue Date 14/08/2022
4.3 Grid & EPS
4.3.1 Grid terminals (Grid)
The Terminal Blocks labelled as “Grid” connects the SunRise directly to
the Grid in the MSB. (Also review wiring diagram included in Appendix A)
To connect the cables to the system, pass them through one of the outlets
in the rear of the SunRise (use the glands provided which are designed to
seal around 25mm conduit) secure the exposed end of the cable into the
correct terminal block, observing the 3-phase rotation warning label.
Tighten with a flat-head screwdriver to 0.5N•m.
4.3.2 Emergency Power Supply terminals (EPS)
The Terminal Blocks labelled as “EPS” identifies the connection point that
remains live during a Black-out. In the MSB you will connect loads to this
output that are to continue operating during a black-out. Do not overload
the EPS circuit in the MSB with not-essential loads
As the output is floating, the neutral cable of GRID side and EPS side must
be connected together according to the wiring rules AS/NZS_3000.
Otherwise, EPS function will not work. See Appendix A: Single Line
Diagram – Main Switchboard.
4.3.3 MSB - Main switch board setup
After the installation of the three-phase SunRise, the Main Switchboard
of the property should look something like the diagram below. The three
key components related to your SunRise system are identified below:
1. SunRise Meter (CHINT or Sungrow version): This measures the
amount of power imported from, or exported to the grid (see section
4.4 for details)
2. “MAIN SWITCH ESSENTIAL CIRCUIT SUPPLY”: Disconnects the non-
essential loads of the SunRise
3. “MAIN SWITCH BESS SUPPLY”: Disconnects the essential load output
of the SunRise. This is where the loads are connected that you want
operational during a blackout.
Note that the two MAIN SWITCHs identified above are there for use during maintenance on the SunRise
System or the main switch board itself.

SunRise 3ph NS – Installation Manual
SunRise 3ph NS Install Version 1.0 Page 16 of 32 Issue Date 14/08/2022
4.4 AUXILIARY REMOTE EARTH FAULT ALARM OPTION
The Sunrise has two small terminal blocks for the installation of an external third-party alarm if
desired. This is in addition to the audible alarm built into the SunRise and the alerts received
from the monitoring system.
The two terminals are on the same din rail as the EPS terminals (see image on previous page) and
can be identified by their smaller size, with the grey terminal set as the active and the blue the
neutral. This provides a dry contact which closes when active.
4.5 MSB & METER
The Meter must be installed immediately after the
main switch in the MSB (including the neutral) and will
work as a pass-though of all power going to and from
the home
The communication between the meter and the
system can be made with a CAT5 or CAT6 cable. Using
2 of the strands from the CATx cable, connect one (A)
to the terminal 24 and the other (B) to terminal 25, as
shown.
Inside the SunRise and underneath the inverter are the
terminals that the other end of this CAT cable will
connect to. Strip the end of strands A and B and
connect them to the correct terminals.
All cables must be sized to Australian standards and not be less than 2.5mm².
Earth-connection must be made to the same switch board as the power.
The SunRise system is compatible with 30mA RCDs.
This system complies with IEC62109-2 clause 13.9 for earth fault monitoring.
The cable for EPS must be sized support a maximum of 15.2A according to AS/NZS
3008.1.1:2017

STEP 6. COMMISSIONING THE SYSTEM
The SunRise is commissioned and tested in RedEarth’s factory to confirm correct operation of the
system prior to shipment.
The RedEarth settings can be accessed via the Local-mode login on the iSolarCloud APP. The installer
will need to confirm inverter settings and complete on-site parameter adjustments (e.g., Export
limitation, connection to the customer’s Wi-Fi or changing Australia A to B or C depending on where
the system is being installed in Australia).
This involves the following steps, which are detailed after this list.
 Power up the SunRise System. Note that the Sungrow takes up to 5 minutes to fully start-up
when the system is initially powered up.
 Access the Sungrow inverter via the iSolarCloud APP, using local mode.
 Confirm the inverter initial configuration including regional settings and make any
adjustments required.
 Test and confirm the operation of the whole system – including EPS mode (by turning off the
main breaker of the house) and as well as PV generation and the By-Pass switch.
Commissioning steps details are explained below.
6.1 POWER UP THE SUNRISE SYSTEM
Follow the procedure outlined in Step 5 “Understanding the Turn ON/Shutdown procedure” above.
While it is powering up, which can take 5 minutes, you can download the Sungrow APP (see step 2
below). Note: during powerup you will hear several relays clicking inside the system.
6.2 ACCESS THE INVERTER VIA THE ISOLARCLOUD APP, USING LOCAL MODE.
Download the iSolarCloud APP and log into the Sungrow inverter Local Mode with your phone, via the
onboard Wi-Fi, as explained below,
