  • Page 8: Safety Instructions

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 Electrical hazards WARNING The GREENROCK Energy Storage system works with voltages of up to 400 V at correspondingly high currents. Since currents of 250 mA or more can be lethal, appropriate precautions must be taken. Measures  In case of danger, immediately disconnect the energy storage from the power supply.
  • Page 9: Thermal Hazards

    WARNING The GREENROCK energy storage can release traces of gases during operation: H2, O2, CO2, CO. To stop these gases collecting, appropriate measures are required. Measures  A natural ventilation of 0.5 m /h per installed kWh is recommended.  If the natural ventilation of the installation site is not sufficient, appropriate technical ventilation must be provided.
  • Page 10: Product Description

    The system is perfectly suitable for increasing the self-consumption of photovoltaic systems. Depending on the system and design, the PV system can be AC- or DC-coupled. Depending on the version, the GREENROCK Home Energy Storage system is an emergency power & stand-alone unit and is available in single-phase and three-phase versions.
  • Page 11: Conditions At Installation Site

    4.4 Ambient temperature The GREENROCK Home Energy Storage system is designed for temperatures from -5 °C to +40 °C (outside this temperature range there is the possibility of a power reduction of the system).

    5.6 Cladding batteries - What to consider  When placing and assembling the cladding parts, make sure that single and/or double versions are used correctly.  Observe the version marked red in the illustration. Double cover over double base.  Single cover over single base.
  • Page 18: Greenrock Home Energy Storage - System Components

    The inverters used serve to convert AC power into DC power (charger function) and to convert DC power into AC power (inverter function). Currently, inverters from Victron Energy are used in GREENROCK Home Energy Storage systems. A single-phase system contains 1 inverter (L1); 3-phase systems contain 3 inverters with one device per phase (L1 - L3).
  • Page 19: Electrical Installation

    ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION WARNING The electrical installation of the GREENROCK Energy Storage system may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. Measures Five safety guidelines Disconnect. Secure against restarting. Ensure that there is no voltage. Earth and short-circuit. Cover or enclose adjacent live parts. CAUTION The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the applicable regional standards and directives.
