SolarEdge Emphasizes the Value of a “Reputable” Brand on Facebook Live
After watching the clip below, you may realize you have been overthinking the differences between NMC (nickel, manganese, and cobalt) and LFP (lithium, iron, phosphate) battery chemistry options. According to SolarEdge Sales Education Manager, Michelle Spina, the most vital factor when choosing energy storage is brand reputation.

During a recent Facebook Live event hosted by Solar Joe on the Solar Objections Facebook Group, Michelle explains that NMC and LFP protocols offer similar benefits—they are both well-tested, safe, and come with comparable warranties.
Therefore, when making your final decision, the “tiniest” difference in your battery’s cathode coating should not be the focus. Instead, Michelle suggests looking at “which manufacturer is experienced, has that background, has quality products, and has the support you need.”
Did you know? Unlike other brands, SolarEdge batteries allow for unlimited power cycles – users can charge and discharge as much as they want without affecting warranty.
For now, SolarEdge has chosen NMC for its battery chemistry protocol, which is mainly due to a longer track record than LFP, as well as a strong history with EVs (Electric Vehicles) and large-scale commercial projects.
That said, “there may be a time where we are both NMC and LFP,” Spina adds. “Being able to have readily available products and resources is the challenge in batteries right now... and we want to give that availability to our customers.”
