SunRise – Installation Manual Installation Step 2. Positioning The SunRise is designed to be a freestanding weatherproof system. However, we strongly recommend it to be placed outdoors and close (300mm) to a wall in a shaded area to reduce the chances of overheating. It should also be placed as close as possible to the solar panels and the MSB to minimise voltage drop/power loss.

Step 6. Commissioning The SunRise is commissioned and tested in RedEarth’s factory to guarantee correct operation of the system as ordered. However, last-minute parameter adjustments may be required (eg. Export limitation). Carefully follow the procedure in Chapter 8 of the Sungrow User Manual on how to make these alterations without compromising the existing configuration.

There are currently two ways to enable monitoring to the SunRise. • 4G Antenna • Hardwire to LAN The first option uses RedEarth’s monitoring hardware and requires positioning the antenna in a good 4G reception area. To do this, pass the antenna through the antenna access point and secure it with the appropriate size gland (available in parts kit box).
SunRise – Installation Manual How to Operate a SunRise NORMAL OPERATION: In this operation mode the Sunrise will operate as explained above. Where the system uses solar, battery and grid depending on the situation. All of the breakers and isolators should be on the ON position and the ByPass Switch should be in the upwards position ( I ).
