SolarEdge Home Hub Single Phase Inverter - Supported Use cases for Storage and Backup Installations 2
The images contained in this document are for illustrative purposes only and may vary depending on
product models.
Important Notice
Using a configuration, in contradiction to the instructions in this document, voids the warranty of any
SolarEdge equipment.
Overview
The SolarEdge Home Hub Single Phase Inverter (SExxxxH-RWBxxxx), is used for various applications that
enable energy independence for system owners by utilizing a battery to store and supply power as needed.
The Inverter, when installed in combination with the SolarEdge Home Backup Interface, provides backup
power during a utility grid failure. The solution is based on an Inverter that manages both the PV system and
the battery. This document outlines the allowed use case and installation scenarios of the SolarEdge Home
Hub Inverter - Single Phase.
For detailed information on the connection between products and the configuration of the relevant
products, refer to the SolarEdge Knowledge Center product installation guides.
Definition of terms
DC coupling: The inverter is connected to PV and Battery.
AC coupling: Multiple inverters are connected in parallel on their AC side, while the PV production of
one inverter can charge a battery on another inverter. It also refers to a case when the battery is charged
from the grid.
Storage-only installations: Systems using one or multiple inverters, at least one with a connected
battery, but no Backup Interface (also referred to as “BUI”).
Backup installations: Systems using one or multiple inverters from which at least one is a Home Hub
Single Phase Inverter with a connected battery. In addition, the BUI is installed to disconnect from the
grid during a backup operation. For a Single Phase grid, a Single Phase BUI is required. For a three
phase grid, a Three Phase BUI is required.
For the allowed Backup Interfaces, refer to Storage and Full
Home Backup Use Cases table.
RS485 connections: the inverter has two separate RS485 communication bus connections:
• RS485-2 - labeled on the Inverter board as “RS485-2” - is ONLY used to connect Leader to
Follower inverters.
• RS485-1 – The Inverter has three RS485-1 terminal block connections on the communications
connection board located on the left side of the connection unit. Refer to the SolarEdge Home
Hub Inverter – Single Phase Quick Installation Guide for more information.
Third Party PV inverter/ Battery Storage: A third-party device that can generate AC power according to
the applicable grid code. The devices can be third-party PV inverters, or AC-coupled batteries.
• Third-party devices must be connected on the grid connection point.
• Diesel generators are not supported.
