SolarEdge Home Batteries & Energy Storage – Smart, Scalable, Reliable
SolarEdge is well-known for its inverters, power optimizers, and monitoring systems. They also offer a modern line of home battery storage solutions designed to integrate cleanly with their solar systems. These batteries help maximize solar self-consumption, provide backup power, and are built for high efficiency, safety, and durability.
Types of SolarEdge Home Batteries & Key Models
SolarEdge offers several battery types suited for different installation needs. The main ones include:
Home Battery 400V (High-Voltage) Series
Designed for DC-coupling with SolarEdge inverters.
Nominal usable energy typically around 10 kWh.
Can stack multiple units per inverter (up to 3 batteries) to increase capacity.
Very high round-trip efficiency (often >94.5%).
Home Battery 48V (Low-Voltage) Series
Modular lithium-ion (LiFePO₄) design.
Capacity per module often around 4.6 kWh for smaller units, with multiple modules stacking for a larger system (up to ~23 kWh in some designs).
Designed for residential use, works well with SolarEdge Home Hub, StorEdge solutions.
Another high voltage battery offering.
Useful in applications requiring larger capacity, backup during grid outages, or where high continuous output power is needed.
Similar specs to the 400V Home Battery series, with high usable energy and strong safety ratings.
Spec Highlights & Performance Features
Here are important specifications and performance characteristics of SolarEdge batteries customers should know:
Efficiency: Round-trip efficiency often exceeds 94% in many models, meaning very little energy is lost in charging/discharging cycles.
Nominal & Voltage Range:
400V series batteries typically operate within a voltage range of ~350-450 V dc.
48V series modules have nominal voltage near 48V, with some variance in the operating range.
Usable Energy / Capacity:
High voltage models ~10 kWh usable in many units.
Low-voltage modules around 4.6 kWh per module, with stacking capability to reach higher total capacity.
Power / Output:
Continuous discharge power typically in the range of ~5,000 W for the high-voltage models.
Backup or peak power (for short periods) is higher (for example, some specs list a higher peak output for emergency backup).
Warranty: SolarEdge generally offers a 10-year product warranty on its battery units.
Safety & Environmental Durability:
Certifications to safety standards like UL, IEC, etc.
Designed to work both indoors and outdoors, with protection ratings and thermal operating ranges (-10°C to +50°C or similar in many models).
Use & Scalability
Some features that make SolarEdge batteries flexible and future-ready:
Stackable Modules: You can start with a smaller battery system (one module) and later expand by adding more units. Good for homeowners who might increase energy needs.
DC-Coupled Systems: In many models, SolarEdge allows the battery to connect directly to the DC side of the solar system. This reduces conversion losses compared to AC coupling.
Backup Power: Some options include backup during power outages, depending on local setup and inverter/battery configuration.
