What is Weather Guard?

A function within mySolarEdge, designed to maximize backup time by automatically attempting to fully charge the battery when severe weather is forecasted, in case the grid goes down.

How does Weather Guard work?

  • When a severe weather notification is received from the National Weather Service (NWS), the SolarEdge system will begin charging the battery to full capacity using solar and/or grid
  • Activation begins within 48 hours of receiving the notification
  • When the weather event ends, the battery will return to its regular charge settings

Does Weather Guard need to be enabled for the homeowner to receive notifications?

Yes, the toggle button should be in ON position

Which batteries are Weather Guard-compatible?

Weather Guard is compatible with SolarEdge Home Battery and LG Chem batteries

What will happen after Weather Guard activation has ended?

Once the severe weather event ends, the system will automatically return to its previous Backup Reserve settings. For example, if the system owner’s Backup Reserve setting was 30% when Weather Guard was activated it will change to 100%, and after the severe weather event ends, it will return to 30%.
