Getting The Best From Your System; Keep Your System In Good Condition - Redback SH5000 Owner's Manual

Introductio n

Getting the best from your system

Your Redback system is designed to operate autonomously – the level of interaction is up to you.
A set-and-forget approach will work fine, and occasional maintenance is all that is required.
Alternatively, you can dive deep into your data and make informed decisions to optimise your system and maximise the return
on your investment.
Either way, the first step to getting the best from your system is to look after it.
8.1

Keep your system in good condition

Keeping your system in good condition maintains efficiency, increases longevity, and helps us help you, if the need arises. There
are three key items requiring your attention.
Cooling
Your system uses fresh air to cool the inverter and batteries. If your
system becomes too hot its efficiency decreases, and it may even shut
down.
There must always be 150mm of clear space beside and above your
system. Ensure no items are left near the base of the system or placed on
top of the inverter, as vents will be obstructed.
The system must not be enclosed i.e., do not build a cabinet around it.
Maintenance
Complete the annual maintenance items in Section 13. In very dusty
conditions you may need to clean the filters more frequently.
Internet connection
Data is required to get the best out of your inverter. A permanent internet
connection enables the inverter to send data to the Redback cloud, where
the MYRedback app or Redback portal present helpful charts, enabling you
understand your system's performance. Your installer or Redback can also
use the data to diagnose problems or suggest improvements to settings,
based on your actual usage.
• Note: Your inverter will continue to function without an internet connection, but you will be unable to receive any
fault notifications, no data will exist for the period of disconnection, and remote support will be limited. You may also
affect your warranty coverage if the system is offline for extended periods
