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
l The StorEdge Inverter -Theinvertermanagesbatteryandsystemenergy,inadditiontoitstraditional
functionalityasaDC-optimizedPVinverter.

connectivitytoothersystemcomponentsandincludesaDCSafetySwitch.
l The SolarEdge Electricity Meter-Themeterisusedbytheinverterforexport/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).
l The Auto-transformer-Theauto-transformerhandlesthephaseloadbalancing.Itisrequiredonlyin
systemsprovidingbackuppower.
l One or two batteries-DCcoupledbatteriesdesignedtoworkwiththeSolarEdgesystem.
