The new SolarEdge inverters will be integrated with power
control system (PCS) technology, enabling the installation of PV
systems that are more than 50% larger without requiring costly and
time-consuming main panel upgrades (MPU).
With the new embedded PCS technology, the SolarEdge inverters
can now monitor, balance, and control the currents on the main
panel busbar, resulting in the ability to install larger PV systems
than allowed today by the National Electrical Code 120% rule1. This
means that a typical home with a 200 Amp main panel would be able
to install up to three 11.4kW SolarEdge inverters without going
through a main panel upgrade2.
Furthermore, the SolarEdge DC-coupled architecture enables up to
200% DC oversizing and storage of excess PV in the SolarEdge Home
DC-coupled battery.
The PCS technology will be embedded in the new SolarEdge Home
Hub and Wave inverters requiring only the current transformers
(CTs) to be installed on the main panel, with no additional
external connector boxes, further simplifying installation and
commissioning.
Other improvements in the inverter include software innovations
for faster commissioning, and automotive-grade critical components
for enhanced inverter reliability.
Zvi Lando, Chief Executive Officer of SolarEdge, said:
“Customers are seeking to install larger PV systems on their
rooftops and financial considerations play a crucial role in their
decision making. With the new SolarEdge inverters, installers will
be able to offer their customers bigger PV systems while avoiding
main panel upgrades, significantly improving the economics of PV
and battery storage across the U.S.”
The new embedded PCS technology will be demonstrated at the
SolarEdge booth at RE+ (#3311) and is expected to be available for
order by the end of the year.
