Chapter 1: Overview
SolarEdge’s StorEdge™ solution for Smart Energy Management, enables connecting a
battery to the inverter.
Power is stored in the battery and can be used for various applications such as
maximized self-consumption and time of use profile programming. For backup power,
an inverter specifically designed for backup applications is required; this inverter is not
in the scope of this document.
The StorEdge Solution Components
StorEdge Inverter is connected to a battery and supplies control and monitoring
signals to the battery for operation, in addition to its traditional functionality as a
DC-optimized PV inverter.
Energy Meter - The meter is used by the inverter for export/ consumption readings,
and for Smart Energy Management applications, such as: export limitation, and
maximizing self-consumption.
Battery - A 48V battery designed to work with the StorEdge system. Make sure to
use SolarEdge-approved batteries only.
