Configuring StorEdge Applications
This section describes the StorEdge applications and how to configure the system.
Backup Power Applications
The produced power is stored in the battery to be used during power outages. The StorEdge inverter
senses the grid voltage, and when it is down it automatically switches to Backup mode, disconnecting
from the grid and supplying power to the backed-up loads. This application requires connection to the
SolarEdge Auto-transformer and a backed-up loads panel.
This application can be used in one of two ways:
l
Backup-only
– energy stored in the battery is discharged for backup power only, that is, when there is
no power from the grid
l
Backup with Smart Energy Management
– use some of the battery energy for backup power, and the
rest for maximize self-consumption(MSC) or charge/ discharge profile programming (for time of use
arbitrage) applications.
For more information, refer to the StorEdge Applications Connection and Configuration
Guide available at
.
The Backup application can be used whether or not PV modules are installed at the site.
The backup function is disabled by default and can be enabled for on- grid only
application, if backup is not needed.
System Basic Configuration
This section describes:
l
How to enable the
Backup Configuration
functionality, so that the system can be set up to the available
applications (Backup-only or Smart Energy Management); If Backup Conf is disabled, the
system will use the battery energy when PV production is not sufficient in MSC, or when using one of
charge/discharge profiles that requires battery discharge. However stored energy will not be used to
back up the loads in case of power outage.
l
How to access use the
Energy Ctrl
menu; This menu is the base for setting up StorEdge applications
available for the inverter.
To enable the Backup Configuration functionality:
1. Enter Setup mode to display the main menu:
