sadly, all we have left is hopium

As Tesla finalizes it the details will become available. Please click StorEdge on the bottom right of the web page and sign up for the announcements as they come available. Furthermore all of our inverters are compatible with this announcement “ I get a funny vibe about all this hype / vaporware. Announced, but still in development. Kind of like the Powerwall itself. The Powerwall is supposedly sold out through 2016, with $800 mil in advance orders, and no product being shipped. Are there any Powerwalls in operation anywhere in the real world? Even in beta test? Available tech info on both Powerwall and Storedge is basically zero. Too bad nonsense marketing like this causes some potential customers to delay their commitment to install a system.

I can see a simple compatibility between the Powerwall DC voltage (300 to 400VDC) and the SolarEdge operating voltage, ~350VDC, and I can also see how this setup could be used to maximize self-consumption (a grid-zero type system). What is confusing is the AC output of the inverter - it is not diagrammed as a multimode system, which is what "energy independence" would indicate to me. The brochure is not showing an AC loads panel that can be isolated from the grid, or any kind of separate transfer switch - which would be necessary for a multimode system. I would be curious to hear what the technical requirements will be to install the system as a multimode system, if that is indeed a possibility - which it may not be.

I only found a brochure on their website. Apparently batteries can be added to a new or existing Solaredge inverter (the brochure says they have partnered with Tesla’s Powerwall) for backup power. They call it “DC-coupling”.
