SAFETY AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Read this entire document before installing or operating the SolarEdge Home Battery (referred to as the “Battery”).
Failure to do so or to follow any of the instructions or warnings in this document can result in electrical shock, serious
injury, or death, or may damage the Battery and other property.
Do not discard this document! After installation, keep it adjacent to the Battery for future reference!
Installation
• Install the battery according to national and local codes and standards and in locations compliant with local building codes
and standards.
• The Battery installation must be carried out only by qualified electricians who have been trained in handling low voltage
electricity works.
• The Battery is heavy. Adhere to local regulations for material handling and heavy lifting, when installing heavy equipment.
• Do not install the Battery in habitable spaces, including sleeping rooms.
• Make sure the mounting surface can sustain the total weight of the Battery and mounting bracket.
• Do not install the Battery, if it has been dropped, crushed, or has signs of physical damage.
• Do not install the Battery near heating equipment, ignition sources, or open flames.
• Install the Battery only on surfaces made of non-combustible materials, as defined by local building codes. Such surface
should extend on both sides of the unit for 28” above the unit and for 48” below the unit to the ground surface and be
uninterrupted by gaps, openings or other breaks in the surface.
• If a soffit is above the unit within the 48” perimeter, the non-combustible surface should continue uninterrupted over the
surface of the soffit such that there are 48” of continuous length.
• Do not install the Battery within 3 feet of gas meters, valves, regulators, lines, or gas appliances.
• Avoid installing the Battery in direct sunlight.
• Install the Battery in a location protected from flooding.
• Do not install the Battery where it may be exposed to direct water spray from sources such as downspouts, sprinklers, or
faucets.
• When installing the Battery in a garage or near vehicles, keep it out of the driving path. If possible, install the Battery on a
side wall and/or above the height of vehicle bumpers.
• Before beginning the wiring, ensure that the Battery is switched off. Also, make sure that the DC safety switch of all
inverters in the PV system is turned off.
Operation
• The Battery contains rechargeable lithium-ion cells that are potentially hazardous and can present a serious fire hazard,
injury and/or property damage if damaged, defective or improperly used.
• Lithium-ion batteries and products that contain lithium-ion can expose you to chemicals, including antimony trioxide,
cobalt lithium nickel oxide, and nickel, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. For more information, go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
• In case of an electrolyte leak from the Battery, avoid contact with electrolyte and follow the instructions in the
SolarEdge Home Battery – Emergency Response Guide.
• Use the Battery only as directed in this document.
• Do not use the Battery if it is defective, appears cracked, broken, or otherwise damaged.
• The Battery and its components are not user-serviceable.
• The Battery cells are not replaceable. Do not attempt to open, disassemble, repair, tamper with, or modify the
Battery.
• Do not operate the Battery at ambient temperatures of above 50°C/122°F or below -10°C/14°F.
• Do not expose the Battery or its components to direct flame.
• Do not store or use flammable liquids or gasses in the vicinity of the Battery.
• Do not place any combustible items in the vicinity of the Battery.
• If the Battery catches fire, or if fire breaks out near the Battery, call the fire department immediately and follow the
instructions in the
SolarEdge Home Battery – Emergency Response Guide.
• The Battery is prone to re-ignition after extinguishing. Use caution and follow the emergency response instructions.
• Do not immerse the Battery or its components in water or other fluids.
• Operating the Battery in temperatures outside the specified range might cause damage to the Battery.
• Do not use solvents to clean the Battery, or expose the Battery to flammable or harsh chemicals or vapors.
• Do not use fluids, parts, or accessories other than those specified in this guide, including use of non-genuine
SolarEdge parts or accessories, or parts or accessories not purchased directly from SolarEdge or a SolarEdge
certified party.
• After the installation, do not place the Battery in stand-by mode for more than one (1) month, or permit the power
feed to the Battery to be discontinued for more than one (1) month.
• Do not paint any part of the Battery, including any internal or external components such as the exterior shell or
casing.
• Ensure that snow does not accumulate around the Battery.
• A non-functioning Battery must be handled with caution. The Battery state of charge and risk of venting may be
unknown. Contact SolarEdge for assistance.
• Do not attempt to remove or transport a damaged or failed battery. Contact SolarEdge or your SolarEdge certified
installer for support.
• This symbol on the product means: Do not dispose of this product with general household waste. Consult your
local regulations for proper disposal instructions.

FCC and Emission Compliance
The Battery has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules in the United States, and local regulations in other countries.
The Battery contains FCC ID: 2AGPT-ENET, IC: 20916-ENET.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. The Battery
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with SolarEdge’s
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If the Battery does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the Battery off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the Battery and the receiver.
• Consult the installer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by SolarEdge for compliance may void the user’s authority to operate the
Battery.
