SunRise Overview

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 to use your customer to use their electricityin other ways via RedEarth’s PPP (Private Power Plant), to generateadditional income such as through Energy Trading. Contact RedEarthfor additional information.
RedEarth can also provide ongoing monitoring to ensure the system isoperating correctly.
The SunRise system can operate without batteries, however much ofthe 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-1xx (Maxi) totalling 24.6kWh nominal and a maximum of 3 batteries can be installed into the SRM-1xx (Mini) totaling 12.3kWh nominal..
  A small battery 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 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 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: 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 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.

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 (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 power the EPS from the battery alone is 3kW. If the PV array is 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. Note also that in this NS version of the SunRise an external DC switch (PV Isolator) shall be fitted for connection of PV panels, the DC switch shall comply with AS60947.3 and relevant AU regulations.

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

Internal Components description

Opening the SunRise
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 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 cabling fully connected and ready-to-run. The batteries are usually removed for transportation.
Left hand Side (LHS)

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 87kg. The SunRise-Maxi system weighs 339kg with x6 lithium batteries installed. The SunRiseMini 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.

WARNING: Personal Injury
Use safe lifting techniques and standard safety equipment when working with this equipment.
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.

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
Step 3 – Solar Installation
PV Racking & Panels should be designed and installed in accordance wAS/NZS 5033 and the latest CEC Installation guidelines. Caution should taken in selecting PV panels and the wiring method to ensure Open CircVoltage (VOC) and Short Circuit Current (ISC) ratings are not exceeded.
String configuration:
The SunRise 1-phase system has x2 MPPTs. A maximum of 6.6kW of PVcan be connected and still receive the full STCs for the government.
The Isc rating of the SH5k-30 Sungrow inverter is shown below.

| Type designation| Sh5K-30
---|---|---
DC Input Data|
Recommended max. PV input power| 6700 W
Max. PV input voltage| 600 V
Startup voltage| 125 V
Rated input voltage| 350 V
MPP voltage range| 125 V – 560 V
MPP voltage range for rated power| 240 V – 520 V
I No. of MPPTs| 2
Max. number of PV strings per MPPT| 1 /1
Max. PV input current| 22 A (11 A /11A)
Max. current for input connector| 15A
_ Short-circuit current of PV input| 30 A (15 A /15 A)

PV isolator:
Note that in this NS (no-switch) version of the SunRise there is no PV isolator installed inside the system. Note also that in this NS version of the SunRise an external DC switch (PV Isolator) shall be fitted for connection of PV panels, the DC switch shall comply with AS60947.3 and relevant AU regulations. See image at right. The two sets of PV cables are then 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 connection points in the base of the inverter (see Step 4.1).
PV modules must have an IEC61730 Class A rating
Ensure that the array is within the inverter specification and polarity of the array is correct.
** PV array must be floating (must not be grounded)
WARNING: The Solar DC Isolator on the SunRise must be in the off position before any solar panels are connected
Step 4 Electrical Connections
** 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.
All cable entry points for the AC, PV and any communication cables are made via the 25mm gland/entry points on the rear of the system, as shown at right. Use the 25mm glands that are supplied in the parts kit. These are designed to accept flexible 25mm conduit. The 16mm gland is for the antenna of the RedPi monitoring device.
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 In this NS version of the SunRise an external PV isolator (supplied) is attached to the wall next to the SunRise system as explained in Step 3.
To connect the solar power, terminate the two PV strings in the external PV isolator. Next 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 in the system.
4.2 Grid & EPS 
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 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 theMSB 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.

Earth connection must be made to the same switchboard as the power cables
This system complies to IEC 62109-2 clause 13.9 for earth fault monitoring.
**** There is no need for a separate neutral for EPS as the connection is maintained internally to the SunRise system, see images below.

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 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.

MSB – Main switch board setup
After the installation of your single-phase SunRise, the Main
Switchboard of your property should look something like this. The two key components related to your 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.

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 Type A 30mA RCDs.
This system complies with IEC62109-2 clause 13.9 for earth fault monitoring.
The cable for EPS must be sized to support a maximum of 15.2A according to AS/NZS 3008.1.1:2017
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.
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.  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 on the left side.
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 a battery-ready system really is.
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 closes when active.

4.5 MSB & Meter
In the switch board, three tasks must be done 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

If the property already has a PV system, when separating the circuits in the MSB keep the pre-existing PV Inverter on the non-essential side. As shown in the image below, when installing the Sungrow Meter, be sure to have 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).
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 5 Understanding the Turn ON/SHUTDOWN Procedure
Before starting up the SunRise confirm the following items have been completed,

• The PV cables have the correct polarity and are correctly connected to the MC4s provided.
• Grid and EPS cables are securely connected.
• Proper weatherproof seals on all cable entry glands of the SunRise
• The battery terminal connections on the Battery MCB are tight. (Check after transportation)

To Turn ON the unit for the first time, follow the steps below:

1. Switch ON all battery breakers on top of each battery
2. Switch ON the BATTERY SYSTEM D.C. ISOLATOR (label #2).
3. witch ON the externally mounted SOLAR D.C. ISOLATOR (label #2).
4. Switch the Bypass switch to Normal Operation (upwards = (I)).
5. Turn ON all AC circuit breakers (label #1).

The Shutdown Procedure is the reverse of the “turn on” procedure and is shown below. This procedure can be found on the traffolyte label on the RHS of the unit.

1. Turn OFF all AC circuit breakers (#1).
2. Switch OFF the SOLAR D.C. ISOLATORS (#2).
3. Switch OFF the BATTERY SYSTEM D.C. ISOLATOR (#3).

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.
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.

1. 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.

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%20UENVer18-202206.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
   e) Connect the Wi-Fi of your mobile phone to the Wi-Fi dongle of the Sungrow inverter which looks like this SG-B20*****XXXXf) The Local Access login details are shown at right. This is only for admin access by the installer.
   The USER login details are shown in the User Manual.Account| admin
   ---|---
   Password| pw8888

3. Confirm initial configuration and selection of regional settings and other settings at commissioning
   ** For compliance with AS/NZS 4777.2:2020 confirm that Australia Region A/B/C for the grid code is set correctly. Please contact your local grid operator for which Region to select. The default region set in the factory is Australia A unless specifically requested otherwise
   Key settings to confirm are shown at right including;
   o Country = Australia
   o Power Company = Australia A (or B/C).
   o Date & time (used for some control operations)
   o Software version – confirm latest
   The screen shots below from the iSolarCloud APP show the sequence to reach the System Parameters setting page where these key parameters can be confirmed or adjusted.
   Make parameter adjustments as required. For additional information follow the procedure in Chapter 8 of the Sungrow User Manual, available at the link listed above, on how to make these alterations without compromising the existing configuration.After successful installation, the LCD screen on the front of the inverter will display as below. If dashes appear instead of numbers, the installation is incorrect and must be fixed. Generating a summary page of initial setting at end of commissioning:
   To comply with the AS4777.2:2020 Section 7.3.8 (shown below) a summary of the final settings, as shown above, can be saved when you are in Local mode and logged in as the admin, and kept for future reference. In the future, anyone with the admin login details is also able to access this information to confirm the current settings via Local mode as well as remotely via the iSolarCloud webpage and APP.
   7.3.8 Firmware
   ** The documentation shall provide instructions for viewing of the inverter firmware version and the selected regional settings and any variations to the default inverter settings in read-only mode. This is to prevent unauthorized modification of inverter settings. Documentation on the initial configuration and selection of regional settings and other settings at commissioning shall be provided to authorized persons.
   Restricted information on accessing and changing the regional settings, other settings and firmware after initial configuration shall be provided to authorized persons only.

4. Test the operation of the complete system prior to handover to the customer:
   This includes confirming that the system;
    is generating PV, charging the batteries, and supplying the loads
    also, that the By-pass switch works, by actually switching to By-pass mode and confirming the operation.
    also, confirm that the EPS function works as expected. This means that you MUST turn off the main house breaker and confirm the correct circuits are operating in the EPS mode. (e.g., fridge & home Wi-Fi)

NORMAL OPERATION:
In this operation mode the Sunrise will use solar, battery and grid depending on the situation. All of the breakers and isolators should be on the ON position and the By-pass Switch should be in the upwards position ( I ).
BYPASS OPERATION
In the By-pass operation mode, the system will completely bypass the inverter and the grid will provide power directly to the EPS loads.
For this to happen, all breakers and isolators should be turned OFF and the By-pass Switch should be in the downwards position ( II )
NOTE: The breaker in the switchboard (labelled “BATTERY SYSTEM CIRCUIT BREAKER”) must always be tuned on.

Fan Control Adjustment: The thermostat is located inside the unit next to the fans. This automatically starts the fans once the temperature rises above the set-point. This set-point can easily be adjusted with a small screwdriver. It is set to 35⁰ Celsius in the factory.
DRM modes and operation: The SunRise system can operate in all DRM modes from 0 to 8 as listed below. These are activated by adding a DRED device. The image at right shows the DRM terminal within the Sungrow inverter. Contact RedEarth if required.

The inverter provides a terminal block for connecting to a demand response enabling device (DRED). The DRED asserts demand response modes (DRMs). The inverter detects and ini-tiates a response to all supported demand response commands within 2s. The following table lists the DRMs supported by the inverter.
table 3-1 Demand Response Modes (DRMs)

to the constraints from other active DRMs.
DRM5| The feed-in power to the grid is O.
DRM6| The feed-in power to the grid is no more than 50 % of the rated power.
DRM7| The feed-in power to the grid is no more than 75 % of the rated power.
DRM8| The feed-in power to the grid is 100 % of the rated power, but subject to the constraints from other active DRMs.

The DRED may assert more than one DRM at a time. The following shows the priority order in response to multiple DRMs.

Step 7 Activating Remote Monitoring & Communications
There are currently three options to enable remote access to the SunRise.

1. Wi-Fi connection to customer’s internet (signal strength dependent)
2. Hardwire to customer’s LAN (if feasible)
3.  Install RedEarth’s 4G modem system – “RedPi” (via QR code on the outside of the SunRise system. (See User manual for details)
   The 3rd option requires positioning an antenna in a good 4G reception area. If installing in a closed area like a Shed, remember to check the 4G signal with the shed doors closed as this will affect the strength of the signal, otherwise position the supplied antenna outside. Pass the antenna cable through the 16mm hole in the SunRise. Use the supplied 16mm gland to seal around the cable.
   Remote monitoring and control are then available via RedEarth’s EMU APP once the customer  completes registration.

Step 8 Customer Handover
Handover to customer

1. Confirm that the customer has downloaded the RedEarth EMU APP (or Switchdin APP) and is logged-in, otherwise provide the customer’s contact details to RedEarth to complete onboarding the customer at a later time.
2. Explain to the customer how the system operates and demonstrate what happens during an outage, by turning off the Main breaker to the house and observing the EPS operation. Confirm that the correct circuits are supported. (Note that there will be delay of up to 1 minute before the EPS circuits activate after the Main breaker is opened)
3. Also demonstrate the operation and effect of the By-pass switch
4. Obtain any customer signatures required for claiming STC’s Finally, provide the required documentation to RedEarth. This also ensures the full RedEarth warranty applies.
