About SolarEdge, Solar Batteries

SolarEdge solar batteries review

SolarEdge is an Israeli company best known for manufacturing solar inverters and power optimisers, but it has recently branched out into manufacturing battery storage.

Formally launched in Australia in late March 2022, the SolarEdge Home Battery offers 9.7 kilowatt-hours of usable storage and can crank 5 kilowatts of continuous power.

A DC coupled energy storage solution, it is backup capable - but that requires extra equipment and therefore extra cost. A SolarEdge Energy Hub single phase inverter and a Backup Box is needed for backup functionality. Use without backup requires either a SolarEdge HD-Wave Genesis or HD-Wave EV inverter.

On a related note, the company doesn't recommend this battery be used for off-grid applications.

The system can be installed indoors or outdoors and wall or floor mounted; with the latter requiring the purchase of a floor mount.

The SolarEdge Home Battery warranty is pretty good compared to some other manufacturers - 10 years and unlimited cycles.

A Unique Battery Safety Feature

In terms of safety, this battery sysytem has a really interesting feature - a built in fire extinguisher that will engage should the internal temperature rise too high. But prior to this happening, the system will alert SolarEdge and the owner to a heat issue requiring attention.

With an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure, this is a really good idea as once that extinguisher is in a situation where it engages, the battery will be pretty much toast. But thanks to this intervention, hopefully not thoroughly burnt toast taking the home with it.

We had a problem with one of the batteries. SolarEdge and Stored Solar negotiated and replaced it.

We were initially undecided about getting a battery because of the cost. However we are glad we did. The only time we need to draw from the grid is during winter when we run the reverse cycle heating which will drain the battery (9.7kWh) by about 8.30pm. The rest of the year is not a problem.

The battery is amazing! It's been performing exceptionally well. Even on rainy, cloudy days, it takes about 2-4 hours to reach a full charge, and when the sun is shining, it's fully charged in less than 2 hours. By 10 am on a sunny day, the battery is already topped up.

Throughout the day, the solar panels power the house until around 7:30 pm, after which the battery takes over for the evening and night. By morning, I typically have 25-40% battery remaining, which is ample for powering morning essentials like the kettle and toaster. Considering the excellent performance, I'm contemplating adding another battery, perhaps in about 2 years.
