1.1 About this Manual –Target Audience

This manual is intended to be used by qualified service and installation personnel for the purposes of product installation.

This manual contains instructions for the installation and start up sequence of the Eguana Evolve™home energy storage

system; including the PCS and master battery cabinets, the energy meter, and Ethernet connection to a customer

supplied internet router. This product is permanently wired to the home electrical service, and must be installed by a

licensed electrician only.

The energy management system relies on an AC coupled PV solar source to charge the batteries as part of the energy

management control algorithms. A PV solar system must be installed in conjunction with this energy storage system.

This product can supply limited backup power, and contains a built-in automatic transfer switch (ATS) to isolate critical

loads during a grid outage. When this product is not in service, critical loads are routed directly to the grid panel via the

ATS.

The battery capacity of this system can be expanded by adding additional cabinets adjacent to the master battery cabinet.

Expansion of battery capacity is not covered within the scope of this document. Please refer to the following documents

for comprehensive information to support the Evolve home energy storage system installation and service.

2Installation Site Preparation

Before installing the Evolve home energy storage components, read all instructions and warnings in this manual.

CAUTION! All electrical installation work should be performed in accordance with local building and electrical

codes.

WARNING! Isolate the PCS from all energy sources prior to electrical installation by means of disconnects,

breakers or connectors. Failure to properly isolate either AC or DC sources may result in serious injury or

death. This system will generate an AC voltage at the off-grid terminals when DC source is applied.

CAUTION! The PCS cabinet weighs up to 65 kg, and the battery cabinet weighs up to 102 kg. Handle with care.

The wall to which the system is mounted must be load-bearing rated according to the local building code. Mechanical

lifts are recommended to position cabinets on the wall bracket.

NOTE: All interconnecting cables are limited in length, and designed specifically for adjacent cabinet mounting using

the manufactured wall brackets.

CAUTION! Do not install in direct sunlight. Battery performance is dependent upon operating ambient

temperature. Radiant heat absorbed in direct sunlight will greatly reduce the performance of the battery, and will

prematurely cause degradation of the display indicator panel on the PCS cabinet. The battery modules are rated for

full power operation between -10C to +40C.

2.1 Overview of PCS and Battery components

1. The cabinets can be installed in an indoor and outdoor non-corrosive environment (not marine environment).

2. The forced air cooling of the PCS cabinet is from bottom to top. Refer to figure 1 for recommended layout plan.

3. The PCS and Battery cabinets are rated NEMA 3R. This product requires an installation a minimum of 36” from

ground level if installed outdoors.

4. Wall mounting hardware not included. The load-bearing wall bracket is provisioned for M8 hardware. Levelling

brackets are provisioned for M5 hardware.

2.2 Installation Area Required to Wall Mount PCS and Battery:

The physical installation of the cabinets requires the layout planning and installation of the system components in the

available installation space. The recommended installation height is driven by the viewing angle of the display panel on

the PCS cabinet.

Figure 1: Installation clearances.

2.3 Installation plan –power and communication circuits

The following example outlines the conduit plan for power and communication circuits for the battery system. In this

example, the PV inverter is coupled to a backup power sub-panel. The sub-panel may also be an isolated power bus

within the main electrical panel.

electrically accommodate the total of both battery and PV generation when PV is connected to the backup circuit.

Figure 2: Installation plan.

2.4 SLD - AC Coupled PV System with Back-up Power Operation

The single line diagram shown below is a representation of a typical installation configured for utility interactive and back-

up power operation, with AC coupled PV connected to a critical load panel. This drawing is a guideline only, and is not

a substitute for a code compliant installation. All components required for a code compliant installation are the

responsibility of the licensed installer, including any additional circuit protection requirements not shown here.

NOTES

1The backup power bus must be electrically isolated from the main electrical bus. Do not tap the neutral wires of the main

and backup buses. A separate line, neutral, and ground must be run to each of the load and grid ports of the battery

system. Refer to the installation manual for wiring details.

2Energy meter supports 1Ø and 3Ø configuration.

33Ø service shown. For 1Ø service, do not populate R,S ph components.

4The battery system must be earth bonded to the building ground to meet lightning protection requirements.

5The battery system load and grid ports are independently controlled circuits. Should the electrical code require

additional “line-of-sight” disconnects, a separate disconnect must be used for each of the grid and load ports. The

disconnects and/or circuit breakers must operate independently of each other, and not be ganged.

The PCS provides galvanic separation of AC and DC sources. Overcurrent protection devices, RCD Type A, are

sufficient for protection of both AC Grid and AC load ports.

6Total AC nameplate of PV not to exceed 5 kW. String inverter shown for simplicity. Multiple AC strings of micro-

inverters permitted. Any additional PV installed on the grid side of the battery system operates independently from the

battery system, and is only limited by the interconnection requirements of the utility service provider.

*DRED: Australia only.
