New Features and Enhancements

Energy Management Features

Feature Feature description
Load control devices mandated power rating Enforcing the configuration of the rated power value during the commissioning ensures excess PV operates as accurately as possible.
Essential devices Management

Configure load control devices such as the SolarEdge Load controllers and Hot Water controllers to be essential or non-essential during a backup transition. When non-essential the devices will be switched OFF during a backup transition to avoid overload and prolong the remaining time in the backup.

 

Essential devices configuration changes can be done on mySolarEdge under the device list, select the 3 dot menu and select ‘’essential devices’’

Essential devices

Load control device alerts Providing alerts when a load control device exceeds its power rating or lost communication with the wireless Home Network
Battery as part of excess PV in every position in list Storage entities can be configured in the excess PV priority list in every priority instead of first or last
Single Phase EVSA as part of excess PV in every position in the list

The SolarEdge Single Phase EVSA can be configured in the excess PV priority list in every priority. Please note that excess PV will only start when 6A is exported for 1-phase charging, 3-phase charging requires 18A export.


When other devices are in the list they will be turned ON before the min charge current is reached.

Home Load controller Support for the SolarEdge Home Load Controller
Smart devices in the admin logical layout

Now presenting device serial, model, type, FW version and connected inverter. Available in all systems with load control appliances.

 

Known Issues and Limitations

 

  1. Installation of Home Network limited to 17 devices including batteries and meters
  2. Mesh tool is not supporting Inline meters and SolarEdge Home battery
  3. The upgrade of a smart device connected via MESH might fail. workaround: perform retry is needed

    “dbUF” (deadband Under Frequency) - single-sided deadband value for low-frequency, offset from the nominal frequency in Hz.
    “kOF” - per-unit frequency change corresponding to 1 per-unit power output change (frequency droop), unitless.
    “kUF” - per-unit frequency change corresponding to 1 per-unit power output change (frequency droop), unitless.
    Added “OLRT” (Open Loop Response Time).

    In “Enter Service” menu

Firmware for all SetApp-enabled inverters as well as supported devices and batteries was released in December 2022. Here are the details:

Inverter Firmware

The CPU version for all SetApp-enabled inverters (except for Three-Phase StorEdge inverters) is 4.17.46. The CPU version for Three-Phase StorEdge inverters in 4.16.122.
Note: For Three-phase SetApp-enabled inverters release notes click here

Release Notes (4.17.46)

New Features & Enhancements 

Storage and Backup

  • Battery commissioning wizard for SolarEdge Home Battery 400V via SolarEdge Home Network

    • The wizard includes step by step multi-inverter multi-battery association, upgrade, configurations, testing, and backup settings (Backup enable and Backup Reserve level)

  • SolarEdge Home Backup Interface (BUI) added to the Device Manager screen with following capabilities:

    • Auto discover the BUI

    • Add BUI device page with More info page and Remove device button

    • No Communication troubleshooting page (if communication with the BUI is lost)

    • Disable Backup menus when BUI is removed

  • SolarEdge Home Hub 1ph inverters with SolarEdge Home Battery 400V and SolarEdge Home Backup Interface support AC coupling with SolarEdge Home Wave inverters with PV

    • The battery charges from the PV only inverter solar production both in on-grid and off-grid

    • This system configuration requires enabling Grid Charge

    • When configured to MSC, all battery charging is done from the PV inverter and only intermittent maintenance charge is done from the grid

    • Known limitation: in backup, when load <250W, the battery stops charging from the PV inverter

Safety

  • Improved SolarEdge Sense Connect performance 

Communications

  • SolarEdge Home Network link quality analysis and channel selection

  • Display inverter’s Wi-Fi client IP when connected to Monitoring via Wi-Fi router

Grid & Power Control

  • P(f) mode 7 UI updated:

o	P(f) mode 7 UI updated

Release Notes (4.16.122 for 3ph StorEdge)


1.    New Features & Enhancements
  • Support up to 5 battery modules
  • Add lock state to SolarEdge Home Battery 48V in case of extreme measurements and manually release from lock
  • Support multi-inverter and AC coupled installations
  • Remove "Communication Enhancement" menu item

    • Self-test will pass
    • Alert to installer is not implemented
  • “Export limit = 0” (AKA SL0) won’t work on AC coupled systems 
    • Implication on end user – excess PV won’t charge the battery
  • On monitoring: Energy decrease while battery is charging
    • No effect on end user – just wrong presentation on monitoring
  • On low SoC, there are un-necessary force charge events 
    • Occurs on less than 0.5% of installations
    • Implication on homeowner – No implications
  • DCDC upgrade may fail when a meter (models below) is connected. In case it fails to upgrade, there is a need to disconnect the meter, upgrade the DCDC again and then reconnect the meter
    • On Wattnode meter – always
    • On other meters – very rare, less than 0.1%
  • Battery module on follower inverter will charge/discharge even when communication loss with Master 
    • Inverter works independently and not as a whole site Msc

 

3.    Resolved issues
  • Sub Giga bug was fixed, no need to change param 430 after installation      
  • Part number and manufacturer fix on monitoring
