High-voltage batteries now compatible with solar inverter solution

SolarEdge Technologies and LG Chem Ltd have announced the compatibility of SolarEdge’s StorEdge solutions and LG Chem’s high-voltage RESU10H and RESU7H batteries. The product compatibility is designed to help further advance the accessibility to cost-effective residential solar generation, storage and consumption.

With both on-grid and backup solutions, the solution is designed to support increased self-consumption, providing power backup and enabling energy independence. LG Chem’s RESU batteries use Li-ion technology, and their compactness allows for easy and flexible installation, both inside and outside. The batteries have a high energy density and are designed for high efficiencies and a long lifetime.

“Offering battery compatibility with SolarEdge’s StorEdge solution is ideal as the company is a leading global inverter manufacturer,” said Sung Hoon Jang, PhD, senior VP of LG Chem and head of ESS Battery Division. “Taking RESU’s compatibility with various inverters as a key factor, LG Chem is very pleased to announce StorEdge as one of our main compatible inverters.”

The combined solution will include remote monitoring and troubleshooting to keep operations and maintenance costs low. The StorEdge solution will support both DC and AC coupling.
