Overview
RedEarth's BushChook home battery system is your complete solution for both on-grid and off-
grid homes. There are models for both single-phase (8kW & 5kW) and three-phase (12kW)
homes.
BushChook is an all-in-one battery system designed to be very easy to install. As an Australian-
made product built in Brisbane, RedEarth provides best-in-class support for BushChook owners
and installers.
The system, including solar panels, generates and stores electricity for use day & night, and
includes a whole-home backup capability so that customer’s loads remain powered during any
blackout (load dependent).
For the homeowner it minimises electricity bills, optimises electricity usage (including electric
vehicle charging) and reduces the homes carbon footprint.
RedEarth also provides the option of ongoing manufacturer support and benefits for 10 years
after the BushChook has been installed by joining RedEarth's
Optimum program.
RedEarth's Optimum program also provides access to
RedEarth’s PPP (Private Power Plant), to generate additional
income such as through Energy Trading or Smart EV
charging. Contact RedEarth for additional information.
The BushChook battery system is monitored and controlled
via RedEarth’s EMU app, available for both Apple and Android
phones.
Installation features:
• The BushChook system can easily be retrofitted to an existing PV solar system that may
already be installed at the home.
• Solar panels: Up to 18kW of panels can be connected to the 12kW 3-phase BushChook
and 12kW of panels to the 8kW 1-phase BushChook. This is usually enough to meet the
needs of a typical home as well as charge an electric vehicle using only electricity
generated at home.
• The BushChook is designed so that additional batteries can easily be added in the future,
right up to eight batteries with a total of 32.8kWh. Buy what is needed now, and add more
later as demand grows, e.g., an electric vehicle is purchased.
