Explanation
Indicates additional information, emphasised contents or tips that may be helpful.
Caution, risk of electric shock.
Caution, risk of danger.
In the event of fire evacuate the area and call emergency services. A dry agent fire extinguisher
should be readily available and used. DO NOT use water. Evacuate the area and call emergency
services. Toxic gas may be produced if the battery catches fire.
Note: MSDS document is provided with the system and can also be found at
www.redearth.energy
Do not use a damaged battery. Batteries should only be disposed of at an appropriate recycling
centre. Please contact RedEarth for advice.
Working on the inside of the SunRise system is restricted to qualified personnel.
In Australia this is typically qualified electricians with CEC accreditation for Solar and Battery.
Many of the procedures covered in this Installation manual have inherent risks. Whilst the
SunRise is designed to be electrically safe, including residual current device and double insulated
cables, the voltages connected or generated by the equipment are hazardous and potentially
fatal.
The SunRise must only be commissioned by suitably qualified personnel. It is the responsibility
of the installer to ensure the operation and all the wiring is carried out according to all safety
standards that are applicable to the installation.
If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by
the equipment may be impaired.
In our efforts towards constant product enhancement, this document is subject to change at any
time. Please visit www.redearth.energy and download the appropriate and latest version of this
manual.
Working on the inside of the SunRise system is restricted to qualified
personnel.
RedEarth recommend installation by licensed electricians only.
Note that government rebates for solar panels are only available if solar panels
are installed by a certified installer

Your SunRise Home Battery is an Australian-made all-in-one battery system designed to optimise your
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 key loads remain powered during any blackout.
You can monitor the system via RedEarth’s EMU app, available for both Apple
and Android phones.
There is also the option to use your electricity in other ways via RedEarth’s
PPP (Personal Power Plant), to generate additional income such as through
Energy Trading. Contact RedEarth for additional information.
RedEarth can also provide ongoing monitoring to ensure your 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 your home, excess
electricity will be stored in the battery and then exported to the grid, which reduces your 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
your 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 your home.
All batteries added later must be of the same make and model and supplied by RedEarth to maintain your
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.
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 your 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 fully certified to AS4777.2:2020 & IEC62109.1&2 & AS60950.1 and conforms to the
Australian Battery Safety Guide.

Sunrise Overview
The SunRise – overview of operation
RedEarth’s SunRise Home Battery System is designed to be fully autonomous and provide solar and battery
power in the most efficient way possible.
The SunRise has three groups of switches on the right-hand side of the unit and also two PV isolators attached
to the wall next to the unit. These control the flow of power. In normal operation there is no need to operate
them. These sets are defined as “AC”, “PV”, “Battery” and “Bypass” as shown below.
Your House – main switch board
After the installation of your three-phase SunRise, the Main Switchboard of your property should look
something like this. The three key components related to your SunRise system are identified below:
1. SunRise Meter (CHINT/Sungrow): This measures the amount of power imported from, or exported to
the grid
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.
CHINT/Sungrow
meter
Note: Breakers in the Switchboard must be turned on (even during BYPASS OPERATION) These are for
use during the servicing of the system or when other electrical work is occurring at the house
