System limitations

Your Smart Inverter will not operate during a power outage:
If your inverter detects a grid power outage (a blackout) it
•
automatically disconnects from the grid and deactivates itself. This
is to protect from unexpected discharge into the grid which would
pose a hazard to service personnel.
• During a blackout, PV is not available for household consumption.
• Your inverter will automatically restart when grid power is restored.
Your system is not suitable for:
• Off-Grid installations (where the grid is intentionally disconnected).
Locations without internet access: the system can work off-line, but you will be unable to review consumption or
•
performance; or make informed decisions about system settings or consumption patterns. Warranty support will also
be affected.
• Prediction of your energy bills. The Redback meter is a Class 1 meter: it provides a good indication of energy
consumption; however, readings may vary slightly from the Network meters used for billing.
• Use with generators.
BENEFIT
System monitoring and management using the
MyRedback app or the Redback portal.
Remote viewing of system status.
See your true usage patterns to find ways to increase
your self-consumption and reduce your electricity bill.
Share system access with family, tenants etc
Neat appearance; Easy to keep clean.
Two or three LEDS notify system status and aid
diagnostics.
Discrete, but easy to access and use if the solar panels
need to be isolated.
The Redback Energy Management System (EMS) is the
system's internal controller.
Operate your large loads (e.g., pool pump or hot water
system) to maximise your solar consumption
Owner can complete essential annual maintenance.
Service person is not usually needed.
System can self-protect from poor quality grid power
and recover when quality improves.
For safety, the system automatically disconnects from
the grid during a power outage to prevent PV being
exported to the network.
The system will self-protect if it detects excessive heat
or excessive internal currents.
Critical system settings may only be changed by
electrically qualified personnel.
Electrical safety for all parts of your system.
