Page 2: Overview
3Ph Booster (AUB) inverter, the RS485 connection is not possible, but on the SolarEdge Home Network it can be used. If x3 batteries are installed on a single inverter, the DC Combiner or SolarEdge Branch Connectors can be used. Use the following cable types: DC - 6mm - 10mm CSA 600V insulated depending on route length.
Page 3 6. If 2 or more batteries are being connected, daisy chain the connections between each battery. 7. Close Communication Gland 2 with a torque of 5 N·m. NOTE When connecting the SolarEdge Home Battery to an HD Wave or Genesis, the EN line connection is not required. SolarEdge Solution Connection and Configuration Guide for Australia...

4. Proceed with the battery installation, as described in the battery installation guide. Connect DC Combiner cables For the installation of three SolarEdge Home Batteries, the DC Combiner can be utilized. Up to three SolarEdge Home Battery installations can be managed via the SolarEdge Branch Connectors instead. Use the following cable types: DC - 6mm - 10mm CSA 600V insulated depending on route length.

Page 46: New Label Requirements
Table 1: Definitions and corresponding Product Code suffix designations. Guidance related to PV DC oversizing of SolarEdge systems To SolarEdge inverters provide the ability to significantly oversize the system's PV array once a battery is connected to facilitate improved battery charging performance.
Page 47: Guidance Related To Kwp Ratio For Stc Calculations - Solaredge Home Battery
Version 6.2, February 2025 Figure 28: Home Hub SE5000H-MM maximum oversizing example Guidance related to kWp ratio for STC calculations – SolarEdge Home Battery The applicable volume of STC's is defined by the inverter type and its definition. Home Hub as a multiple mode inverter that allows greater PV DC oversizing than the non-multiple mode inverters such as the Genesis inverter.
Page 48: Guidance Related To Rcd Requirements
PV array, cables or inverter (DC). The RCD in the SolarEdge inverter can detect leakage on the DC side. There are 2 trip thresholds for the RCD as required by the DIN VDE 0126-1-1 standard. A low threshold is used to protect against rapid changes in leakage typical of direct contact by people.
Page 49 Installation and selection of an external RCD device Installation of an RCD must always be conducted in accordance with local electrical regulations and standards. SolarEdge recommends the use of a type-A RCD. Unless a lower value is required by the specific local electric regulations.
