SolarEdge Launching First PV Inverter-Integrated Electric Vehicle Charger
SolarEdge’s HD-Wave inverter, once integrated with an EV charger, will not only provide the existing management and monitoring of solar production, but will also enable EV charging from a single inverter and dashboard. The combined solution will offer considerable cost savings on both hardware and labor by eliminating the need for an additional conduit, wiring, and breaker installation. The solution will also eliminate the need for an additional dedicated circuit breaker, which saves space and a potential main distribution panel upgrade.
“SolarEdge is dedicated to developing innovative solutions for increasing the use of renewable energy and cost savings for our customers and end users,” stated Guy Sella, CEO and Chairman of SolarEdge. “Adding EV charging to our growing-range of products further enables system owners to easily manage their energy needs."
Based on patent-pending technology, the EV charger is embedded into SolarEdge’s HD-Wave inverter and leverages its solar boost mode. This mode utilizes both grid and PV to charge at 9.6kW (40 Amp) Level 2 charging, which is up to six times faster than standard Level 1 charging. If PV is not available, the inverter-integrated EV charger will use grid power to charge at 7.6kW (32 Amp) Level 2 charging, which is up to five times faster than standard Level 1 charging.
With a 12-year warranty, the inverter-integrated EV charger offers potential future operating modes, such as demand-response and charging at off-peak hours to optimize Time-of-Use (TOU) rates. The inverter-integrated EV charger is expected to be available in the last quarter of 2017.
Intersolar North America attendees are invited to visit the SolarEdge booth, #9421, to meet with local and global management teams, learn more about SolarEdge's new product offerings, and participate in training sessions.

SolarEdge to offer the fastest AC EV charging rates by supplementing
grid power with PV power
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–At Intersolar North America, SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (“SolarEdge”)
(NASDAQ: SEDG), a global leader in PV inverters, power optimizers, and
module-level monitoring services, is unveiling the world’s first
inverter-integrated electric vehicle (EV) charger. By supplementing grid
power with PV power, SolarEdge’s Level 2 EV charger offers charging up
to six times faster than a standard Level 1 charger with its innovative
solar boost mode.
SolarEdge’s HD-Wave inverter, once integrated with an EV charger, will
not only provide the existing management and monitoring of solar
production, but will also enable EV charging from a single inverter and
dashboard. The combined solution will offer considerable cost savings on
both hardware and labor by eliminating the need for an additional
conduit, wiring, and breaker installation. The solution will also
eliminate the need for an additional dedicated circuit breaker, which
saves space and a potential main distribution panel upgrade.
“SolarEdge is dedicated to developing innovative solutions for

customers and end users,” stated Guy Sella, CEO and Chairman of
SolarEdge. “Adding EV charging to our growing-range of products further
enables system owners to easily manage their energy needs.”
