Overview
This connection and configuration guide describes how to connect the SolarEdge Home Battery to a
SolarEdge inverter, directly or through a DC Combiner. This document describes the wiring process
for the SolarEdge Backup Interface and the configuration steps using SetApp after commissioning.
Connect battery communication and DC
To set up communication between the battery and the inverter, SolarEdge strongly recommends
using the SolarEdge Home Network. On the Home Hub inverter, if the SolarEdge Home Network
cannot be used, you can set up communication using an RS485 port, as described in this section. On
the 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.
Communication - CAT6
WARNING!
R
ead all handling and safety instructions in the installation guides that come with the battery and
the inverter.
WARNING!
The
inverter cover must be opened only after switching the inverter
P/1/0 switch
located at the
bottom of the inverter to OFF
. This disables the DC voltage inside the inverter. Wait five minutes
before opening the cover.
WARNING!
Ensure
that the correct battery polarity is always observed. Turning on the battery with reverse
polarity may permanently damage the battery.
WARNING!
Before
connecting the battery to the inverter, ensure the battery power is off.
