SolarEdge Technologies, Inc.
SEDG
recently launched its SolarEdge Energy Bank residential battery and SolarEdge Energy Hub inverter with enhanced backup power in the United States. The move is likely to further strengthen the company’s presence in the rapidly growing North American solar market.
Both the SolarEdge Energy Hub inverter and SolarEdge Energy Bank battery are part of the company’s “SolarEdge Home” — a smart energy management system that makes energy monitoring and maintaining systemssimple and easy for homeowners.
Significance of the Products
SolarEdge Energy Bank residential battery is a DC-coupled battery, which provides 9.7kWh of backup power and can connect with up to eight additional batteries, delivering up to 87kWh of backup capacity, while offering future compatibility with third-party generators.
SolarEdge Energy Hub inverter is a high backup power inverter that simplifies installations by reducing the need for Main Panel Upgrades (MPU), and reduces installation time by connecting wirelessly with the SolarEdge Energy Bank battery and a variety of smart energy devices, including the SolarEdge Home EV Charger.
Furthermore, being part of SolarEdge Home system, these products can be directly controlled from the mySolarEdge mobile app, which helps customersin decision-making by providingsmart insights while taking into account external factors like weather effects. Cumulatively these factors are likely to boost demand for its products, which in turn will drive the company’s topline in the long run.
SolarEdge’s Growth Prospects in the United States
With the solar market rapidly gaining momentum in the United States, prospects for solar battery storage are also expanding manifold. The momentum is likely to result ininstallation oflarge-scale battery storagescapable ofcontributing additional 10,000 megawatts of electricity to the grid between 2021 and 2023 in the United States.This is10 times the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s projection in 2019.
Such projections highlight solid growth prospects for SolarEdge as batteries and inverters constitute an integral part of the solar market. Hence, the company’s latest move of launching its two products in the United States comes at an opportune time.
