SolarEdge Technologies Inc., a global leader in smart energy technology, has announced the launch of its first commercial storage system for the German market. The new battery, called ‘CSS-OD,’ works alongside SolarEdge’s solar inverter and power optimizer, offering businesses an efficient and integrated solar and storage solution. This will help commercial customers optimize the economic benefits of using solar energy for self-consumption. The ‘CSS-OD’ battery is now available for order in Germany.
The new CSS-OD, designed for commercial and industrial (C&I) solar installations, is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. It includes a 102.4 kWh Battery Cabinet and a 50 KW battery inverter, which can be scaled up to a total capacity of 1 MWh per site. The system comes pre-assembled from the factory and will be supported by a mobile app for quick commissioning, reducing on-site time and speeding up deployment.
The CSS-OD is powered by SolarEdge ONE for C&I, a new software-based platform designed to optimize energy production and storage for commercial and industrial sites. It helps reduce energy costs by analyzing real-time data and user preferences to ensure efficient charging and discharging. The platform supports various energy optimization modes, including maximizing self-consumption and peak shaving. It is also designed to help businesses optimize tariffs for dynamic pricing and participate in grid programs.
Robert Bruchner, Head of Sales Germany, SolarEdge, said in a statement, “As pioneers of solar power optimization we’ve built our reputation by delivering more power to customers for faster ROI. As energy storage deployment continues to evolve in the German large-scale solar market, the complete integration of our new solar + storage system will now combine more power with high-efficiency energy storage, all controlled by next generation energy management software, SolarEdge ONE for C&I, to maximize self-consumption. Designed with installation teams in mind, the technology also aims to provide faster installation times, reduced installation costs and best-in-class safety.”
