SolarEdge StorEdge Interface SolarEdge StorEdge 3-Phase Inverters SolarEdge Energy Meter with Modbus Connection Screened Twisted Pair Communication CableSolarEdge’s StorEdge DC coupled storage solution can be used to increase energy independence for homeowners by utilising a battery to store and supply power as needed. To optimise self-consumption, the battery is automatically charged and discharged to meet consumption needs and reduce the amount of power purchased from the grid.
The solution is based on a single inverter for both PV and storage. Existing SolarEdge systems can be upgraded to the StorEdge solution.
System schematic
Features
More Energy
- DC coupled solution allows high system efficiency
- PV power is stored directly in the battery
- No additional conversions from AC to DC and back to AC
- Module-level power optimization for more power harvesting
Simple Design & Installation
- A single inverter for both PV and on-grid storage
- Outdoor installation allows flexibility in battery location
- No special wires are required -> utilizes the same PV cables
Full Visibility and Easy Maintenance
- Monitor the battery status, PV production, and self-consumption data
- Smarter energy consumption to reduce electricity bill
- Remote access to inverter/battery software
Enhanced Safety
- PV array and battery voltage designed to reduce to a safe voltage upon AC shut down
What's needed (in addition to a SolarEdge PV system):
- A StorEdge interface
- HV Battery - eg. LG Chem HV to store the energy
- SolarEdge Wattnode electricity meter & current transformer
SolarEdge StorEdge Interface
Allows connection of the LG Chem RESU H battery to a SolarEdge inverter.
- Simple installation and connectivity of the battery and the SolarEdge Meter
- Connects to the SolarEdge inverter in parallel to the PV strings
- Designed to eliminate DC voltage and current during installation, maintenance, and firefighting

SolarEdge Energy Meter with Modbus Connection
The SolarEdge Energy Meter with Modbus Connection measures production, consumption and feed-in to enable export control or limiting (supports G-100 in UK).
A wide range of CTs (current transformers) are available to support residential and commercial installations. Connection to the inverter or Control and Communication Gateway is achieved via RS485.
Highlights:
- High accuracy meter readings (up to 0.5%) for production/consumption readings
- Supplies meter readings to the inverter for Feed-in Limitation
- Suitable for residential, commercial and utility-size installations
- Small and easy to install
Safety Note: CTs must never be operated open-circuit (secondary coil wires disconnected) once installed, whilst on a current-carrying conductor, as dangerously high voltages may occur under these circumstances.
