Backup Power with Smart Energy Management - System Configurations
16
To configure the system:
1 Configure the meter, battery and backup power of inverter 1 as described in the Basic Configuration on page 8.
2 Configure the battery and backup power of inverter 2 as described in the Basic Configuration on page 8.
3 Make sure that the meter is not configured on inverter 2:
Select Communication RS485-1 Conf Device Type Multi-devices.
Select Meter2 Meter Type None.
To set up Smart Energy Management:
After configuring the meter, battery and backup power, proceed with maximizing self-consumption or charge/discharge profile
programming as described in the Basic Configuration on page 10. Repeat this configuration for each of the inverters.
To verify communication:
Verify communication of both inverters as described in the Basic Configuration on page 11.
AC Coupling using a non-SolarEdge Inverter
For sites with an already installed PV system with a non-SolarEdge inverter, the StorEdge inverter can be AC-coupled to the
existing inverter, i.e. the StorEdge inverter used to manage the battery is connected to the AC output of the existing inverter and
charges the battery using the PV power produced by the non-SolarEdge inverter. In this configuration StorEdge inverter charges
the battery using the PV power produced by a non-SolarEdge inverter.
NOTE
The meter is used for Smart Energy Management and does not measure the non-SolarEdge inverter production. The
production and self-consumption information in the moniotring portal does not take into account this production.

To configure the meter and the battery:
Configure the meter, battery and backup power as described in the Basic Configuration on page 8.
