SolarEdge Technologies, a global leader in smart energy technology, announced today the Australian launch of SolarEdge Home, a complete DC-optimised smart energy ecosystem that maximizes solar energy production, home battery backup duration and potential cost savings.
By connecting the inverter and the battery on the DC side, the SolarEdge DC-optimised solution generates more energy and offers more savings for the homeowner by eliminating unnecessary power conversions that are typical in other battery coupled systems. The DC-optimised system also enables longer backup times and reduces dependency on the grid by enabling reliable multi-day battery backup.
The smart energy ecosystem is comprised of the SolarEdge Home Hub Inverter, SolarEdge Power Optimisers, SolarEdge Home Battery, Backup Interface, Smart Energy Devices such as the SolarEdge EV Charger, Hot Water Controller, Load Controllers and Smart Switches. Through the mySolarEdge app, homeowners can control, schedule, and track their energy usage and savings, taking into account external factors such as rising energy prices.
For installers, SolarEdge Home simplifies the installation and commissioning process. From batteries to smart energy devices, the DC-optimised system simplifies design, and uses wireless plug-and-play connectivity, eliminating the need to wire communication cables between components. The SolarEdge Home ecosystem is future-proof, enabling homeowners to add additional features and capabilities as their energy needs evolve and change.
Gavin Merchant, Australian Country Manager of SolarEdge, said: “SolarEdge Home is designed to meet homeowner needs for greater energy resilience in all seasons. By offering more renewable energy applications, homeowners increase self consumption while installers form higher-value relationships”.
