2. Energizer Homepower HP-6 Series (HP-6M/HP-6S)
The Energizer Homepower HP-6 Series is an AC coupled, lithium iron phosphate
based Battery Energy Storage system (BESS), designed to operate seamlessly
with existing solar (PV) installations. It is easy to install and allows a
high degree of customisation to suit a variety of energy considerations. The
Energizer Homepower HP-6 Series is modular and consists of the Main Unit (HP-
6M) and optional Sub Units (HP-6S).
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 efficiency by aiding local consumption of solar energy and
reducing export to the utility grid.

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, SemiAutomatic 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.
V23-00223

Energizer Homepower HP-6 Series – Installation Manual
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.
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: 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. Manual Mode – is also an optional mode. The system allows for electricity
tariff 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
configured 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.
V23-00224

Energizer Homepower HP-6 Series – Installation Manual
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.
V23-00223

Energizer Homepower HP-6 Series – Installation Manual
3.4. Grid Charge – Specifies when to use the grid to charge the battery. If
left unticked, Energizer Homepower will not charge from the grid.
a. E.g. 50% @ 5 am – 7 am – Following this instruction, the battery will
charge from the grid at 1800W between the times of 5 am and 7 am.
When used: Designate when to charge the battery, normally during off peak
periods. This allows customers to reduce the need to consume grid power during
peak periods.
3.5. PV Charge – Limits the amount of solar generation used to charge the
battery. If left unticked, Energizer Homepower will not limit the PV charge
power.
a. E.g. 50% @ 10 am – 12 pm – With these instructions, during 5 pm – 9 pm,
system will limit the PV charge to 1800W.
When used: Generally used to exempt scheduled periods of time from using the
battery or ensure availability of battery power by minimising consumption
throughout the day. E.g. When heat pumps are scheduled to be on during off
peak periods.
3.6. Discharge to loads – Restricts how much energy is drawn from the battery
during times when site loads are greater than solar generation. Usually, early
mornings and in the evenings. If left unticked, Energizer Homepower will not
limit the discharge power.
a. E.g. 50% @ 5 pm – 9 pm – With these instructions, during 5 pm – 9p m,
only1800W will be available for use from the battery. If any additional power
is required, it will be drawn from the grid.
When used: Generally used to exempt scheduled periods of time from using the
battery or ensure availability of battery power by minimising consumption
throughout the day. E.g. When heat pumps are scheduled to be on during off
peak periods.
