Chapter 1: Overview; The Storedge Solution Components - SolarEdge StorEdge Solution with Backup Installation Manual

Chapter 1: Overview

StorEdge™ is SolarEdge's all-in-one solution that uses a single phase DC optimized
inverter to manage and monitor both solar power generation and energy storage.
Homeowners are automatically provided with backup power in the event of grid
interruption to power pre-selected loads. Solar energy can be stored in a battery for
Smart Energy Management applications such as export control, offering demand
response and peak shaving, and performing time of use shifting for reduced electric
bills.

The StorEdge Solution Components

The StorEdge Inverter - The inverter manages battery and system energy, in
addition to its traditional functionality as a DC-optimized PV inverter.
The StorEdge Connection Unit, located at the bottom of the inverter, allows simple
installation and connectivity to other system components and includes a DC Safety
Switch.
The Energy Meter - The meter is used by the inverter for export, import, production
and consumption readings, and for Smart Energy Management applications, such
as: export limitation, time-of-use profile programming and maximizing self-
consumption.
The meter is required only in systems using Smart Energy Management applications
(it is not required for StorEdge systems used only for backup power).
The Auto-transformer - The auto-transformer handles the phase load balancing. It
is required only in systems providing backup power.
One or two batteries - DC coupled batteries designed to work with the SolarEdge
system.
