Configuring Maximum Self-consumption

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

Maximize Self-consumption

In this mode, the battery is automatically charged and discharged to meet consumption needs.
The battery has two states:
OFF – the battery is in standby
l
ON – the battery is controlled for maximized self-consumption
l
Battery OFF periods can be configured to extend battery lifetime by minimizing the number of shallow
discharges (for example at nighttime or during the winter).

Profile Programming (for time of use arbitrage)

In this mode, the StorEdge system operates according to a configured charge/ discharge profile. This
application is covered in a separate application note available at
http://www.solaredge.com/files/pdfs/StorEdge_TOU_profile_programming.pdf.
To set up max. self-consumption:
1. Enter Setup mode, scroll down to the Power Control menu and select it. A menu similar to the
following is displayed:
