1 Introduction
1.1 Instructions for manual
We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a Solutronic SolBatt Home energy storage system.
This user manual supports installers and end customers to operate the SolBatt Home energy storage
system.Keep this document accessible at all times.
The SolBatt Home may only be used within the application areas given in this documentation. Another
usage outside of the applications described herein can cause damage to the SolBatt Home and other
devices. In any case, this leads automatically the loss of any warranty claims.
1.2 SolBatt Home
The SolBatt Home is modular energy storage unit with environmentally friendly lithium-ion battery
technology for residential and smaller commercial applications. It stores the excess energy and supplies
necessary power for load consumption. This economically optimizes your supply system. It is an ideal
option for the following applications:
Optimizing self-consumption for renewable energy
Covering peaks during high-demand periods
Supplying power for load during power outages
UPS applications
Compared with conventional lead batteries, Lithium-Ion cells allow higher current capacities while
chargingand discharging. This increases the available capacity substantially.
1.3 Installation and maintenance
The SolBatt Home must be installed and maintained exclusively by a qualified electrician. The qualified
electrician must have read this document in detail and be familiar with the safety procedures and
standards required for the installation.
Never attempt to repair the device by yourself. Improper repair work can be dangerous. Please contact
your dealer to solve your problem.

Mounting
6.1 Mounting site
Information
Solutronic Energy GmbH is not liable for any damage caused by defective mounting!
Such damage includes:
damage to the foil covering the display and keyboard, negative impact on legibility
bleaching of the print on the housing, negative impact on the appearance of the
housing
The mounting site should therefore be selected to avoid any direct or indirect UV radiation
on the device:
the device must not be exposed to direct sunlight
the device must be protected from reflection from glass facades and similar
surfaces
Warning!
Only qualified and authorized installer is allowed to install SolBatt Home products strictly
follow this guide!
Any private installation leads automatically to invalidation of manufacturer warranty and
the distributor willnot shoulder any responsibility!
Information
The lifetime of a SolBatt Home is strongly dependent on the environmental conditions.
The higher the temperature and/or the humidity, the shorter the lifetime.
Please select a suitable mounting site.

Mounting
SolBatt Home_User Manuel_B.00-EN9/24
For wall mounting, make sure that the wall is able to carry the weight.
The maximum altitude for installation is 2000 meters above sea level. Derating factors must be
considered for installations at greater altitudes.
The recommended ambient temperature is in the range of >0 °C to +35 °C.
The distance between the top and bottom of the device and any other objects must be a minimum
of 30 cm, preferably 50 cm.
The distance betweenthe left and right side of the device and any other objects must be a
minimum of 20 cm, preferably 30 cm.
The SolBatt Home must be mounted on a non-flammable surface.
Installation in coastal areas is only permitted in sealed rooms. The reason for this is salt spray that
can cause corrosive damage to the housing, both externally and internally.
Attention: The SolBatt Home must never be exposed to ammonia or other aggressive vapours or
gases (stables!). Solutronic Energy provides no guarantees for installations in such areas. The dealer
or installer must pay for any damage in the event of possible subsequent maintenance.
6.2 Wall mounting guide
TheSolBatt Home is mounted with the aid of a wall bracket on a suitable wall that can take the weight.
No information can be provided here on suitable fixing materials due to the variety of fixing surfaces
(wall structure).
Use fixing material that you deem to be suitable.
Please note that the device weighs approx. 80 kg!
The person carrying out the mounting is liable for the work.

Electrical connection
8.2 Charger connection
Technically, all types of DC charger within the voltage range of 42V to 56V can be used. A Solutronic
SolHybrid energy manager with a transformerless solar inverter and a bidirectional DC-DC converter
would be perfect for the SolBatt Home.
One cableeach with two high-power plugs for plus and minus are used to connect the Solutronic
SolHybrid and the SolBatt Home
These cables are customized specifically for this purpose and can be ordered from Solutronic Energy.
Connect the plus and minus connectors based on the colours. Please ensure the polarity is correct for
the connection.
The plugs have a locking function and are onlyconnected with the socket after they have audibly clicked
into place.
To remove the cable, press the button on the plug to trigger the release mechanism and pull the plug
off.
Caution!
Do not make contact or disconnect these plugs under load.
This may damage the electronics and/or the contacts.
