Benefits of Battery

Perfect for Small Spaces

BlackMax is a standalone power system designed for sheds, tiny homes, and weekend cabins, providing reliable electricity where traditional power may not be available.

Optimised for Off-Grid Living

Designed primarily for single-phase off-grid applications, BlackMax delivers dependable energy independence while also offering the flexibility for on-grid connection if required.

Easy Energy Monitoring

With built-in AC input and output meters, BlackMax allows you to easily track your power usage and system performance in real time.

Backup Generator Ready

BlackMax is ready for auto-start generator integration, ensuring you always have a backup power source when solar or battery levels are low.

Smart Alerts for Low Battery

A flashing indicator light warns you when the battery reaches a low state of charge, helping you manage your power and avoid unexpected outages.

Remote Monitoring & Energy Innovation

BlackMax includes remote monitoring via 4G connectivity, allowing you to track your system from anywhere. It also supports RedEarth Private Power Plant (PPP) options for advanced energy management.

How Battery System Works

01

Solar Panels Produce Clean Energy

During daylight, your solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. This renewable power is used to run your home and reduce grid consumption.

02

Home Uses Solar Power First

Your home automatically uses the solar energy being produced. This helps lower electricity bills and maximizes your solar system’s efficiency.

03

Extra Energy Goes Into the Battery

When your solar panels produce more electricity than your home needs, the surplus energy is sent to the battery for storage instead of going back to the grid.

04

Battery Stores and Protects the Energy

The battery safely stores this electricity, keeping it ready for use during the night, cloudy weather, or any time solar production drops.

05

Battery Powers Your Home When Needed

When the sun goes down or your energy demand increases, the battery automatically releases the stored energy to power your home. If the battery is fully drained, only then does your home draw electricity from the grid.

Solar System Installation Process

Mount Installation

The installation begins with securing roof anchors, which act as the main support points for the solar panel mounts. Once anchors are fixed, the mounting structure is installed based on the roof type—tile, metal, or flat. These mounts form the foundation that holds the panels securely in place and maintains the correct angle for maximum sunlight exposure.

For homes in the Southern Hemisphere, such as in Australia, positioning panels toward the north ensures the best solar energy output throughout the year.

Setting Up the Electrical Wirings

After the mounts are installed, the next step is connecting the electrical wiring. The setup can vary depending on your system design but generally involves connecting solar panels either in series or parallel.

  • Series connection: Positive (+) of one panel connects to the negative (-) of another, increasing voltage.

  • Parallel connection: Positive (+) terminals join together and negative (-) terminals join together, keeping voltage the same but increasing current.

Connecting Panels to the Inverter

Once the wiring is complete, the solar panels are connected to the inverter. This device converts DC power from the panels into AC power suitable for home use or grid supply.

For series wiring, the last panel’s positive terminal connects to the inverter’s positive input, and the first panel’s negative terminal connects to the inverter’s negative input.

For parallel wiring, the combined positive and negative lines are connected directly to the inverter’s respective inputs. This ensures stable and efficient power conversion for your electrical system.

Solar Battery Connection

After connecting the inverter, the next step is installing the solar battery. The battery’s positive terminal connects to the inverter’s positive terminal, and the negative connects to the inverter’s negative.

This allows energy storage for later use—especially useful during cloudy days, nighttime, or power outages. Solar batteries help you rely less on the grid and use more of your self-generated power, effectively lowering energy bills and providing reliable backup power.

Smart Meter Installation or Reconfiguration

The final step involves upgrading or configuring your electricity meter. Traditional analog meters can only measure total energy consumption, not how much solar power you export or import from the grid.

A smart meter enables accurate, real-time tracking of both solar energy production and usage. It allows you and your energy provider to measure exported energy, ensuring proper credit for the electricity you send back to the grid and optimizing your solar system’s efficiency.
