SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. and Sunnova Energy International, Inc. announced the expansion of their long-standing partnership with the addition of the SolarEdge Home Battery to the Sunnova EaaS portfolio. The expansion of the partnership will enable SunnovaÆs network of dealers to offer the SolarEdge Home Battery, in order to better meet homeownersÆ demand for increased energy efficiency and resiliency û crucial in the current climate of energy price inflation and grid instability.
The SolarEdge Home BatteryÆs highly efficient DC-coupled design requires just one power conversion when consuming PV stored energy, compared to three with AC-coupled batteries. This can add up to 10 days of saved energy for every year of use when compared to a typical 10kW PV system in self consumption mode. In addition, the SolarEdge Home Battery provides continuous power, enabling consumers to power more and larger devices, such as washing machines and HVACs, for longer periods of time. Each SolarEdge Home Battery provides 9.7kWh of backup capacity and up to nine batteries (three per inverter) can be stacked on a single backup system, for up to 87.3kWh of backup capacity and 30kW of continuous power. The battery is compliant with the UL9540A advanced safety standard. It is also designed to meet installer demand for a residential solution that is fast and cost effective to install. Accessible cable management and wireless communication speed up installation and decrease commissioning times.
