Battery Storage Integration with Prism Technology

The SolarEdge Energy Hub is designed to integrate solar generation and compatible battery storage within a coordinated energy management system.

Its DC-coupled architecture allows supported batteries to work with the solar installation for energy storage and later use.

This configuration helps homeowners increase their use of self-generated solar electricity and provides a foundation for future backup capabilities.

Battery Storage Benefits

• Store excess solar energy for later consumption.
• Support increased solar self-consumption.
• Manage battery charging through compatible SolarEdge controls.
• Integrate approved battery equipment with solar production monitoring.
• Prepare the system for optional backup power.

Battery compatibility: The manufacturer's documentation identifies SolarEdge Energy Bank and LG RESU Prime battery families for supported configurations. Confirm exact battery models, firmware requirements, and current manufacturer compatibility before installation.

Optional Whole-Home or Partial-Home Backup

The Energy Hub can support home backup functionality when combined with the required SolarEdge battery and backup equipment.

During a utility outage, a properly configured backup system can isolate the home from the grid and supply designated electrical loads using available stored energy and supported solar generation.

The SolarEdge Backup Interface manages the necessary grid isolation and backup operating functions.

Backup System Requirements

• Compatible SolarEdge Energy Hub inverter.
• Approved battery storage equipment.
• Separately purchased SolarEdge Backup Interface.
• Compatible system configuration and firmware.
• Properly designed backup loads and electrical distribution.
• Professional installation and commissioning.

Important: The inverter alone does not provide automatic backup during a power outage. Backup operation requires additional equipment, and the manufacturer specifies that AC power is required for initial commissioning.

Integrated Revenue-Grade Production Metering

The Energy Hub includes embedded revenue-grade solar production metering, providing accurate measurement of electricity generated by the photovoltaic system.

Revenue-grade production measurement can be useful for system performance verification and programs that accept the inverter's metering configuration.

The inverter also supports household consumption monitoring when compatible external current transformers are installed.

Energy Monitoring Capabilities

• Measure solar electricity production.
• Monitor system performance through supported SolarEdge platforms.
• Support household consumption monitoring with additional sensors.
• View compatible battery operating information.
• Track solar energy use and grid interaction with the required metering equipment.

Note: Revenue-grade production metering is integrated. Consumption current transformers are separate accessories, and acceptance for utility or incentive programs depends on the applicable program requirements.

SolarEdge Power Optimizer Compatibility

The Energy Hub is designed to operate with compatible SolarEdge power optimizers, enabling module-level photovoltaic power management.

Power optimizers allow supported solar modules to operate with individual maximum power point tracking while providing module-level monitoring and safety functions through the SolarEdge ecosystem.

Optimizer System Advantages

• Module-level power optimization.
• Enhanced visibility into solar panel performance.
• Support for compatible rapid shutdown configurations.
• Flexible array design within SolarEdge system requirements.
• Integration with SolarEdge monitoring tools.

SolarEdge power optimizers are required for supported photovoltaic configurations and are not included unless expressly stated in the product package.

Smart EV Charging Integration

The Energy Hub supports direct connection to compatible SolarEdge smart EV charging equipment.

This allows the solar installation and supported EV charging hardware to operate within the SolarEdge energy management ecosystem.

Actual charging functionality depends on the installed charger, available electrical capacity, system configuration, and supported software features.

The EV charger is sold separately.

SetApp Commissioning and System Monitoring

SolarEdge SetApp provides a mobile-based commissioning process for compatible Energy Hub installations.

Installers can use the inverter's local wireless access point to perform supported setup, configuration, and commissioning tasks.

The inverter also supports multiple communication interfaces for integration with SolarEdge monitoring equipment and services.

Monitoring and Communication Features

• Mobile commissioning through SetApp.
• Ethernet connectivity.
• RS485 communication.
