Company Info

RedEarth was founded in 2013 and named after the red centre of Australia, where the founders initially sought to bring solar electricity.

After several years of research and development, the company released its first energy storage solutions; later developing proprietary software enabling home and businesses to become their own ‘private power plant’. 

RedEarth Batteries

RedEarth originally had a special focus on off-grid battery systems, but then also moved into producing a range of grid-connected systems. 

Sunrise

Among those approved by the CEC as at late November 2024 is the SunRise Mini (up to 12.3kWh capacity), Maxi (up to 24.6kWh capacity) and 3-phase (expandable to 32kWh capacity), but the Sunrise line doesn't appear to be among RedEarth's line-up any more.

Troppo Rack-Mounted Batteries

Previously, RedEarth used rack mounted battery packs from LG Chem in its systems, but then designed its own Troppo battery that boasts lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) chemistry - widely considered the safest of all battery chemistries. A Troppo unit has a self-managed Battery Management System (BMS), accessible 63A DC dual pole On/Off switch, overcurrent protection device and display.

Each Troppo unit has a 4.1kWh nominal capacity and 3.28kWh usable capacity, with maximum discharge power of around 3kW.

Bushchook/Gecko/BlackMax/DropBear

These battery systems use rack mounted Troppo modules and have incorporated CEC-approved Ningbo Deye hybrid inverters

• RedEarth’s original product, BlackMax is now available for on-grid use. It provides a maximum output power of 6kW and capacity is up to 12.3kWh.
• Bushchook: Suitable for on-grid and off-grid applications, the Bushchook is available in both single-phase (8kw & 5kw) and three-phase (12kW). It has a maximum capacity of 32.8kWh.
• The Gecko is available in both single-phase (8kw & 5kw) and three-phase (12kW) and has a maximum capacity of 24.6kWh.
• DropBear: An all-in-one system with continuous 16kW (single-phase) or 24kW (single and three-phase) power rating and battery capacity options of up to 57.4kWh.

Warranty Information

All of the above solutions are accompanied by a 10 year warranty and as the company is located in Brisbane, help should always be (comparatively) close at hand if you run into problems.
