SunRise Overview
The SunRise Home Battery is an Australian-made all-in-one battery system designed to optimise your
customer’s electricity usage, reduce your electricity bill and also reduce your carbon footprint.
The system, including solar panels, generates and stores electricity for use day & night, and includes a
backup capability so that your customers key 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 (Private Power
Plant), to generate additional income such as through Energy
Trading. Contact RedEarth for additional information.
These PPP features, along with ongoing remote monitoring
by RedEarth, via their RedPi Edge device, ensure the customr
can earn the best return on their investment. These options
come with a small monthly service charge for the customer.
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 inside it 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 6 batteries can be added into the SRS-2xx (Maxi) totalling
24.6kWh nominal and a maximum of 3 batteries can be installed into the SRM-2xx (Mini) totaling
12.3kWh nominal..
A smaller total battery capacity will limit the amount of self consumption and energy trading possible.
A total of 6.6kW of solar panels can be connected to the SunRise 1ph systems, and remain fully
claimable as STCs 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 1-phase wiring up to 5kW
of additional PV inverters can be added, allowing a maximum of 13.2kW of solar panels to be installed.
Contact RedEarth for more information if you are looking for a larger grid-connected system.
PPP Private Power Plant: As mentioned above, RedEarth offers its PPP to generate more value for your
customer from their SunRise system than is normally available from other battery systems which only
offer e.g. a VPP option (Virtual Power Plant). Contact RedEarth for more details and to see if you qualify
for RedEarth’s Private Power Plant.
Finally, SunRise is fully certified to AS4777.2:2020 & IEC62109.1&2 & AS60950.1 and conforms to the
Australian Battery Safety Guide.

SunRise 1ph MCB Install Version 1.0 Page 7 of 34 Issue Date 30/08/2022
Summary of connections
A typical complete installation of the SunRise Home Battery System 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 (i.e., 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. The maximum EPS power available from the battery
alone is 3kW. If the PV array is also providing power, then up to 5kW of backup power
is available.
4. Up to 2 arrays of PV solar panels are connected to the MC4 conectors pre-terminated
inside the unit.
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.

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
87kg. The SunRise-Maxi system weighs 339kg
with x6 lithium batteries installed. The SunRise-
Mini weighs 213kg when filled with 3x Troppo
batteries. The image shows a SunRise-Maxi with
batteries packed separately as well as a second
pallet of solar panels in a trailer.

SunRise 1ph MCB – Installation Manual
SunRise 1ph MCB Install Version 1.0 Page 12 of 34 Issue Date 30/08/2022
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. If possible, it should be placed closer to
the solar panels and the MSB to minimise voltage drop/power loss.
The assembled SunRise enclosure should be placed into position,
secured to the ground, and wired to the solar panels and house switch
board BEFORE installing the batteries.
BEFORE installing the batteries wire in the solar panels
and house switch board as this provides better access.
 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 1ph MCB – Installation Manual
SunRise 1ph MCB Install Version 1.0 Page 13 of 34 Issue Date 30/08/2022
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:
The SunRise 1-phase system has x2 MPPTs. A maximum of 6.6kW of
PV can be connected and still receive the full STCs for the government.
The Isc rating of the SH5k-30 Sungrow inverter is shown below.
3.2 PV isolator:
The PV isolation is provided by two built-in MCBs. See image at right.
The two sets of PV cables are brought into the rear of the unit and
plugged into the 2 sets of MC4 equipped PV cables inside the unit
which are already connected to the PV Isolation MCBs. Connection
from the MCB to the inverter are already installed (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 1ph MCB – Installation Manual
SunRise 1ph MCB Install Version 1.0 Page 14 of 34 Issue Date 30/08/2022
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 2x Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPTs) and allows for two PV strings to be
installed as explained in Step 3. For ease of installation, extension cables for the two strings are already
connected to the inverter and terminated with MC4 connectors inside the SunRise
To connect the solar power, run the two 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 two strings into the correct MC4s inside the system.
4.2 GRID & EPS
4.2.1 Grid and Emergency Power Supply (EPS)
Terminal Blocks are pre-wired to simplify making all the GRID and EPS
connections during installation. They are labelled as shown at right.
The Terminal Block labelled as “Grid Active” connects the SunRise
directly to the Grid in the MSB. (Also review the wiring diagram
included in Appendix A)
The Terminal Block labelled as “EPS Active” 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 non-essential loads as
it can provide 3kW of power from the battery.
To connect the cables to the system, pass them through one of the
holes in the rear of the SunRise (use the glands provided which are
designed to seal around 25mm flexible conduit). Secure the exposed
end of the cable into the correct terminal block. Tighten with a flat-
head screwdriver to 0.5N•m. The cable for Grid and EPS must be sized
to support a maximum of 21.7A according to AS/NZS 3008.1.1:2017.
All cables must be sized to appropriate Australian standards and not
be less than 2.5mm².
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 1ph MCB – Installation Manual
SunRise 1ph MCB Install Version 1.0 Page 15 of 34 Issue Date 30/08/2022
4.2.2 MSB - Main switch board setup
After the installation of your single-phase SunRise, the Main Switchboard of the property should look
something like this. The two key components related to the SunRise system are identified below:
 SunRise Meter: This measures the amount of power imported from, or exported to the grid
 “BATTERY SYSTEM CIRCUIT BREAKER”: Isolates the SunRise from the Switchboard, which is needed
if for example work is to be done on the Switchboard. At all other times this switch remains on.
During a blackout the essential loads are supported by the SunRise system. The non-essential loads will
turn off until grid power is restored. Note that if too many loads are on the essential circuit the battery
could run flat quite quickly or the backup circuit could become overloaded and turn off temporarily.
4.3 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.
Earth connection must be made to the same switchboard as the power
cables
There is no need for a separate neutral for EPS as the connection is
maintained internally.
This system complies to IEC 62109-2 clause 13.9 for earth fault
monitoring.
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

SunRise 1ph MCB – Installation Manual
SunRise 1ph MCB Install Version 1.0 Page 16 of 34 Issue Date 30/08/2022
This 1-phase SunRise system operates at 48Vdc nominal, and batteries are connected in
parallel to increase capacity, maintaining 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 on the
Troppo batteries, and the red cable plugs ONLY to the red battery terminals. If the battery
polarity is connected incorrectly, it will damage the SunRise system.
Procedure to install batteries;
1. Take the batteries out of the transport boxes and place them
next to the SunRise system. Turn all the batteries on using the 2-
pole switch on the top of each battery to confirm that they are
all at a similar voltage (+/- 0.3 volts). Turn the batteries off again.
2. On the SunRise system remove the front cross bar by undoing
the 4x6mm nuts and install the Troppo batteries with the display
towards the front. Put the first battery in the left-most position.
3. Reinstall the cross bar to secure the batteries from falling over.
4. Ensure the MAIN BATTERY BREAKER on the right side of the
SunRise is turned OFF.
5. Plug the battery cables into the batteries, being careful that red
goes to red and black goes to black. Note: if the system is not full
of batteries, then some of the battery cables will remain
unconnected. These are available for connecting additional
batteries in the future. This is what makes RedEarth SunRise
system genuinely battery-ready.
6. Turn the breakers on top of each battery on. You will notice some
crossflow of electricity as the batteries balance with each other.
7. The battery bank is now ready to be used. The MAIN BATTERY
BREAKER can be turned on when you are ready to turn on the
system.
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 main terminals 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
This system complies to IEC 62109-2 clause 13.9 for earth fault
monitoring.

closes when active.
4.5 MSB & METER
Three tasks must be completed in the switch board for a complete Sunrise Installation:
 Separation of the circuits into non-essential and essential circuits (EPS)
 Installation of the Sungrow meter and CT
 Installation of the double pole MCB breaker to isolate the SunRise if work is being done in the
switch board.
If the property already has a PV system, then when separating
the circuits in the MSB keep the pre-existing PV Inverter on the
non-essential side.
Meter connection; be sure to put it on the non-essential side
and have the CT clipped in between the Meter and the Main
Circuit Breaker (with the ARROW pointing towards the LOAD –
see image).
The communication between the meter and the SunRise system can
be made with a CAT5 or CAT6 cable. Using 2 of the strands from the
CAT 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.
For ease of comprehension, install the double pole breaker between
the non-essential and essential loads, as shown below. Then all the
essential loads can be put on the left-side of the SunRise system
breaker.

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.
1. 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. (you will hear a number of relays clicking during start-up)
2. Access the Sungrow inverter via the iSolarCloud APP, using local mode. Note that you can also
use the display panel on the front of the inverter to adjust all the settings (installer login)
3. Confirm the inverter initial configuration including regional settings and make any adjustments
required.
4. 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,
A more complete explanation is available in Chapter 8 of the Sungrow User manual available online at,
https://info-support.sungrowpower.com/application/pdf/2022/07/20/SH3.6_4.6_5K-30%20UEN-
Ver18-202206.pdf
The display panel on the front of the inverter can also be used to adjust all the settings. Refer to Chapter
7 in the above manual. Note that the side panel of the SunRise needs to be removed to access the
display.
a) Download the iSolarCloud APP onto your mobile (Android or
iPhone)
b) Disconnect the 4G on your mobile. This is to avoid interference
when accessing the Sungrow inverter’s Local mode.
c) Open the APP (iSolarCloud) and click on “Local Mode”.
d) Scan the QR code on the Sungrow Wi-Fi dongle as requested.
Note that you will need to remove the side panel of the SunRise
to get easy access to the base of the inverter, where the dongle
is installed. Note that the newest version of the dongle requires
the start button to be pressed 3 times
