Californian smart energy tech firm SolarEdge has boosted the capabilities of its SolarEdge ONE platform for enterprise C&I cloud-based energy management. The company has also launched a single-phase solar + storage solution for residential use.

SolarEdge ONE for C&I is SolarEdge’s cloud-based solution engineered for EPCs, O&M providers, developers, businesses and enterprises. The platform is designed to automatically and continuously manage each site’s energy production and consumption. This allows customers to maximise their energy savings and meet their environmental goals with real-time data analytics.

The new SolarEdge ONE Controller will serve as the onsite component of the SolarEdge ONE platform to integrate energy meters and weather sensors onto the platform. This will improve asset owners and energy managers ability to monitor and control the system, from the module level through to interconnection with the utility.

As a unified ecosystem, SolarEdge ONE for C&I is designed to integrate the management of all energy assets, including PV systems, EV chargers, storage solutions, and building assets such as HVAC and lighting. The platform will provide comprehensive energy reporting dashboards, tailored to each stakeholder’s needs, eliminating the need for complex third-party tools and integrations.

SolarEdge ONE for C&I is expected to be released in North America in 2025.

The new single-phase solar + storage residential solution will integrate a scalable battery and a new solar inverter up to 11.5kW to provide flexible home backup to fit various types of home across the US.

The solution’s modular design will allow homeowners to start with PV-only, or with a smaller LFP 4.4kWh battery for a lower entry cost. It can scale up to four battery modules per single battery (up to 17.6kWh), up to four batteries per inverter (up to 70.4kWh) and up to three inverters per site (211.2kWh). From an installer perspective, this enables the selection of the appropriate system size per individual and future system owner needs.

Focused on increasing homeowner earnings, the technology is based on SolarEdge’s DC-coupled architecture, which already avoids a triple conversion penalty for higher energy yield. This will also be amplified by high efficiency from battery module-level optimisation. The solution will be powered by the SolarEdge ONE energy management software, for further energy savings.

For installers, the solution is designed to reduce system installation and commissioning processes by up to 50% (down to approximately 20-30 minutes) and is multi-purposed for various configurations (PV-only, storage-only, and backup installations) with the same product part numbers.

The offering will also include a Meter Collar to accelerate whole home backup installations and open new business opportunities for installers. Coupled with embedded PCS and busbar management to allow installations of up to 4x larger systems, the solution also reduces the need for costly main panel upgrades. Other notable design elements include high LRA to support the largest of residential HVAC systems and installation compatibility with extreme climate zones.

Roll-out of the new residential solution is expected to begin in late 2025. It is expected to be manufactured in one of the Company’s US manufacturing sites to help qualify for maximum domestic content incentives.

Ronen Faier, Interim Chief Executive Officer of SolarEdge: “Our next generation integrated solar and storage solution is based on our vast experience with millions of homes across the U.S. Addressing the need for home battery storage, it also provides the flexibility for customers to adapt their home solar to dynamic energy markets. Coupled with our advanced energy management software capabilities, we believe this will offer a differentiated solution to North American installers and homeowners alike.“
