Self-Consumption

A storage system is set up to maximise the amount of solar energy used by the homeowner to enable energy independence

Unused PV power is stored in a battery and used when needed

Excess energy

Supply energy from storage battery

Backup Power

Charge battery from PV system

Grid is on

Daytime: Important loads are powered by the PV system & battery

Nighttime: Important loads are powered by the battery

No Grid Electricity

During long power outages, the battery can be charged by the PV system

Inverter’s Significance

Inverters account for only ~10% of the system cost but:

Inverters influence ~30% of system cost

Inverters manage 100% of system production

Inverters control O&M expenses through PV asset management solutions

The SolarEdge DC optimised inverter solution offers attractive LCOE solutions for a system’s lifetime by maximising energy and reducing costs

More Energy by Design

Power optimisers enable installation of:

Modules in partially shaded areas

Strings of uneven lengths

Strings in multiple orientations and different roof facets

Traditional inverter: 149.5 kW DC

SolarEdge: 200 kW DC34% added power

More Modules on the Roof

More Power & Revenue

More Energy in Commercial Systems

Location: Forster Bowling Club, NSW

Size: 100 kW

Installation date: September, 2014

Modules: 400 x Trina TSM‐250PC05A

Inverters:

SolarEdge: 6 x SE17K with 200 x OP600 power optimisers

The SolarEdge system outperformed the PVSyst estimate of 145.1 MWh/yr by reaching 170 MWh/yr in 2014.

This was an increase of 17% over the PVSyst estimate

Future Compatibility

Account for future costs that can impact the return on investment during system lifetime

Replacement: SolarEdge power optimisers allow modules of different power classes and brands in the same string

Expansion: New power optimisers can be utilised in the same string with older models
