- DC-coupled architecture allows simultaneous EV charging
directly from PV, home battery and AC grid, enabling charging of up
to 24kW1
- Paves way for EV batteries to function as large home storage
solutions, on and off-grid
SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (“SolarEdge”) (NASDAQ: SEDG), a
global leader in smart energy, today unveiled its new
Bi-Directional DC EV Charger (“Charger”) at Intersolar Europe. The
new charger will enable solar-powered Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) and
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) functionalities and is expected to be
commercially available in the second half of 2024.

Based on SolarEdge’s innovative DC-coupled architecture, the
Charger is expected offers several benefits:
- Charging the EV directly from PV with no unnecessary AC-to-DC
power conversions
- Fast charging of up to 24kW by simultaneously drawing
electricity from the PV array, the home battery and the grid,
bypassing the home’s AC infrastructure and the limitations of the
car’s onboard EV charger
- Charging the EV with excess PV, leveraging the SolarEdge
inverters DC to AC oversizing (up to 200%)
In addition, SolarEdge’s ONE energy optimization system will
offer enhanced savings by applying smart algorithms to calculate
dynamic utility prices and autonomously charge and discharge the EV
battery. This will enable homeowners to receive payments from their
electricity supplier during demand response events, by discharging
their stored EV battery power back to the grid (V2G).
In addition, the EV battery can function as a large home battery
storage solution of up to 50kWh, both on and off grid, enabling
homeowners to use their EV to back up their homes for extended
periods during an outage (V2H).
The Charger will be compatible with both 400V and 800V EV
powertrains via a standard CSS connector.
The SolarEdge Bi-Directional DC EV Charger makes its debut at
the SolarEdge booth, Intersolar Hall B4, Stand 110.
