The award-winning SolarEdge Home Hub inverter is designed to work with the new SolarEdge Home Battery with Backup Interface. As an installer, when you add a SolarEdge Home Battery & Backup Interface to an existing SolarEdge single-phase or residential three-phase system, you can TradeUp the existing single-phase or residential three-phase inverter to the new single-phase Home Hub inverter for free*. See the “how it works” section below for more details.

FAQs
How do I return my old inverter to the SolarEdge warehouse?
Please find the return instructions here
What if the SolarEdge system I’m upgrading isn’t on my monitoring portal account?
Please submit a site transfer request here: https://www.solaredge.com/aus/site-transfer-request
What are my options for TradeUp when a 5kW phase imbalance restriction exists?
You can now replace an old Residential 3-phase inverter with two new single-phase inverters as part of the TradeUp program. The upgrade will consist of a combination of the following inverters;
- 1x Home Hub SE5000H-MM inverter and;
- 1x Genesis SE3000H or SE5000H inverter.
In line with the current process, we will ship you two replacement inverters equivalent to what you installed on the property.
How do I tell the SolarEdge monitoring portal that I’ve replaced the inverter?
Please replace the inverter serial number on the monitoring portal, instructions at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9SzDiwo6ys
Can I replace the original single-phase or residential three-phase inverter with a larger-sized Home Hub Inverter?
Yes
How long does it take to receive my replacement inverter?
Approximately 4 weeks
How do I tell the difference an HD-Wave and a Genesis inverter?
An HD-Wave inverter will have the Part Number. SE*000H-AU000B*U4 whereas the Genesis will have the part number SE*000H-AUL00B*U4
Does the StorEdge single phase inverter qualify for the TradeUp program?
Yes
Do the old pre-HD-Wave SolarEdge single phase inverters qualify for the TradeUp program?
Yes
Do All Residential three-phase inverters qualify for the TradeUp program?
Yes
Does installing a single-phase Home Hub Inverter on a three-phase property affect my self-consumption?
No
Net Metering on three-phase sites explained
SolarEdge utilises 3-phase net metering which allows single-phase inverters to operate on homes with a 3-phase grid supply and provides the same financial return.
Net metering aggregates the sum of energy flow across all 3 phases into a single measurement value. The electricity being used, regardless of which phase the solar system is connected to, is subtracted from the amount of solar energy generated to calculate the total import or export amount for home billing, battery charging or offsetting to other loads such as EV Charging or Water Heating. This means the financial benefits are equivalent for either type of grid supply.
For homes with a single-phase hybrid inverter, battery, and backup on a 3-phase grid supply, there may even be a benefit for selecting this option. Whilst in backup mode the single-phase hybrid inverter can typically supply its full power output on the phase that it is connected and is potentially more powerful than a 3-phase hybrid inverter could on that same phase, this allows for greater flexibility on which appliances can run in backup mode.
