Large Residential PV Systems
For residential sites with large PV systems, a StorEdge inverter and a SolarEdge single phase inverter may be installed together.
The StorEdge inverter manages the battery and functions as a PV inverter, and the second inverter is used for production of the
additional PV power.
An RS485 Expansion Kit (available from SolarEdge) is installed in the inverter connected to the battery.

Additional Capacity with Two Batteries
For sites where additional battery capacity is needed (for example, to enable loads to be powered from the battery for longer
periods), two batteries may be connected to a single StorEdge Inverter.
In this configuration, only one battery operates at any given time – i.e. the two batteries provide additional capacity only, not
additional power.
The DC connection of the two batteries to the StorEdge Inverter is done in parallel through an external fused combiner box (not
provided by SolarEdge), with a fuse rating of 12A/600V.
The control and thermal connection of the second battery is daisy chained to that of the first battery.
