Configuring StorEdge Application

This section describes the StorEdge applications and how to configure the system.

Backup Power Applications

The produced power is stored in the battery to be used during power outages. The StorEdge inverter
senses the grid voltage, and when it is down it automatically switches to Backup mode, disconnecting
from the grid and supplying p ower to the backed-up loads. This application requires connection to the
SolarEdge Auto-transformer and a backed-up loads panel.
This application can be used in one of two ways:
Backup-only – energy stored in the battery is discharged for backup power only, that is, when there is
l
no power from the grid
Backup with Smart Energy Management– use some of the battery energy for backup power, and the
l
rest for maximize self-consumption(MSC) or charge/ discharge profile programming ( for time of use
arbitrage) applications.
For more information, r efer to the StorEdge Applications Connection and Configuration
Guide available at
http://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/storedge_applications_connection_and_
configuration_guide_na.pdf.
The Backup application can be used whether or not PV modules are installed at the site.
The backup function is disabled by default and can be enabled for on- grid only
application, if backup is not needed.

System Basic Configuration

This section describes:
How to enable the Backup Configuration functionality, so that the system can be set up to the available
l
applications (Backup-only or Backup+Smart Energy Management); If Backup Conf is disabled, the
system will use the battery energy when PV production is not sufficient in MSC, or when using one of
charge/discharge profiles that requires battery discharge. However stored energy will not be used to
back up the loads in case of power outage.
How to access use the Energy Ctrl menu; This menu is the base for setting up StorEdge applications
l
available for the inverter.
To enable the Backup Configuration functionality:
1. Enter Setup mode to display the main menu:
