The StorEdge™ Solution Enabling Energy Independence
The StorEdge Solution Combining SolarEdge's breakthrough PV inverter technology with leading battery storage systems, the StorEdge solution helps homeowners reduce their electricity bills while maximizing energy independence from the grid. Available Applications Backup Power and Self-Consumption Homeowners are automatically provided with backup power in the event of grid interruption to power preselected loads.
Maximizing the Homeowner's Solar Investment The StorEdge system is full of benefits for the installer and homeowner alike.
SolarEdge Monitoring Platform Dashboard The cloud-based monitoring platform provides insight into household PV production and consumption, displaying the power flow between the PV array, battery, grid and house loads as well as tracking real-time system data.
StorEdge Applications Backup Power and Self-Consumption 3 2 1 4 1 SolarEdge Single Phase StorEdge Inverter The StorEdge Inverter manages battery, system energy and backup power, in addition to its functionality as a DCoptimized PV inverter 8 2 3 4 Auto-Transformer SolarEdge Meter Tesla Powerwall (Optional) Home Battery (Optional) Only needed for backup power applications.
Additional StorEdge Configurations Each StorEdge application supports modifications to the basic system configuration, providing homeowners with a StorEdge solution specific to their energy requirements. Homeowner Requirement Details Large PV Systems Add another 1-ph inverter to handle additional PV power from the array 2 More battery capacity (kWh) & power (kW) Add a second inverter and battery. Each of the two batteries is connected to a separate StorEdge inverter.
Additional StorEdge Configurations 3 More Battery Capacity (kWh) For sites where additional battery capacity is needed (e.g. to enable backed-up loads to be powered from the battery for longer periods), two batteries are connected to a single StorEdge inverter. Only one battery operates at a given time. 4 AC Coupling 12 5 Backup Power without PV A StorEdge system may be installed for sites without a PV system requiring backup power. The battery is charged from the AC grid only.
Case Study - Increasing Self-Consumption with StorEdge By simply adding StorEdge to its existing SolarEdge PV system, this typical household was able to more than double its self-consumption levels BEFORE - monitoring self-consumption: AFTER - increasing self-consumption: 5kW System on April 8, 2015 (before battery installation) 5kW System on April 15, 2015 (after battery installation) Total produced energy Total purchased energy Total consumed energy Self-consumption level Total produced energy T
SolarEdge invented an intelligent inverter solution that has changed the way power is harvested and managed in PV systems. Addressing a broad range of solar market segments, from residential to commercial and large scale solar, the SolarEdge DC optimized inverter solution includes PV inverters, power optimizers, and cloud-based monitoring. By connecting power optimizers to each module, the system enables superior power harvesting and module management.
