Solar Edge founded in 2006, SolarEdge established the DC power optimizer segment and is leading it with over 70% market share. By Q2 2012, SolarEdge has shipped over 1,000,000 power optimizers to more than 30 countries worldwide. With strategic partnerships across the PV value-chain from module manufacturers to integrators, SolarEdge installations can be found in five continents.
SolarEdge is the 2nd most common solar inverter installed globally, has shipped over 15 million Power-Optimisers, and has the most systems installed in the USA. (considered to be one of the leading solar markets globally). Since 2009, SolarEdge have taken Australia by storm with a revolutionary technology that allows each panel to work at its optimum power point, significantly increasing output in all weather conditions. With home automation and battery storage increasing in popularity, Solaray is excited to partner with SolarEdge as we open a new chapter in renewable energy & making solar panels smarter.
SolarEdge systems can output significantly more solar power in all weather conditions. With a SolarEdge system, there is a small power point tracker integrated into each solar panel, which allows for each individual panel to output power independently from the other panels, significantly increasing system output.
According to Renewable Energy World, shading of as little as 9% of a solar system connected to a central inverter, can lead to a system-wide decline in power output with as much as 54%.
This is what so many homeowners have been waiting for, so it is with great excitement that home automation is now available in Australia from SolarEdge. You can now be sitting in the office, and with the touch of a button on your mobile phone turn on your air conditioner to run on excess solar power to cool down your house before you come home. You can also program appliances such as the pool pumps, hot water system, and even under-floor heating to run on excess solar power when it is available, turning your solar system into a complete energy solution. The future of renewable energy has arrived!
SolarEdge technology allows our solar technicians to design a panel array across multiple roof areas – both across different orientations and angles. Panels can be installed on roofs sections facing west, north and east – all on the same string. What’s more, a SolarEdge system can have up to 45 panels on the one string, reducing the cost of safety hardware that needs to be installed on each string.
If you use most of your power in the afternoon, it can be beneficial to have panels facing both north and west to distribute the output of solar power across the day. This avoids having a big peak of solar power in the middle of the day, making it easier to use a larger percentage of the solar power as it is generated, and hence increasing the value of your system.
SolarEdge offers a 12-year warranty as standard on the inverter and a 25-year warranty on the power optimiser. The warranty inverter can also be extended to either 20 or 25 years, highlighting the quality of a SolarEdge inverter. One of the reasons Solaray is considered to have industry-leading support standards is that we service full replacement warranties. Solaray does not have ‘back to base warranties’ where you need to send faulty parts to the manufacture.
One of the biggest issues with an ageing solar system is that solar panels begin to degrade in output. With automated system status reports and panel-level outputs, the Solaray support team can quickly identify a fault that can then possibly claimed on the panel’s performance warranty. An example of this is a blown bypass diode that would result in a 33% reduction of output. With a string system, there is no real way of knowing if this has happened, or if one of the panels is degrading too quickly compared to the other panels and the claimable warranty.
This information puts the control back in the hands of the system’s owner, allowing you to monitor the performance of your investment over the life of the system.
Combining SolarEdge’s breakthrough PV inverter technology with a leading battery storage system, the StorEdge solution helps homeowners reduce the electricity bills while maximising energy independence from the grid. StorEdge is based on a single SolarEdge DC optimised inverter that manages and monitors PV production, consumption and storage.
SolarEdge’s StorEdge DC-coupled storage solution allows homeowners to maximise self-consumption and enables energy independence through backup functionality to pre-selected loads such as lights, fridge, freezer, and your modem for when the grid goes down. Solar energy can also be stored for evening and morning use when the grid is working normally, offering demand response, peak shaving, and performing time of use shifting to significantly reduce your power bill.

2 years ago, we invested in a solar system for our business premises with Accord Electrical & Solar. The team did an initial business case analysis on a system for us based on our usage and recommended a system.
Our initial investment for the system was $16,000+gst. As a business expense it was tax deductable and we could claim the immediate depreciation deduction (Assets under $30,000).
Our electricity bill annually prior to having solar was on average $7,000 +gst per year. After having solar installed, our annual electricity costs decreased to an average of $1,800 +gst per year a saving of $5200 pa.
It is a pretty simple equation to see that within 3 years we will see a return on initial investment and reap the benefits of this for the years following in line with what Accord had promised us. In my opinion, it is a no brainer. You are not only reducing business costs, but also using a sustainable energy source reducing carbon emissions output and building your environmental business credentials.
I have no hesitation in recommending investing in a solar system with the team at Accord Electrical and Solar.
Jason WardManaging Director Braggs Signs – Kunda Park
Fantastic crew. Very professional install and approach. Faultless Solaredge system – offers amazing flexibility, better efficiency and superior monitoring applications. Form initial interaction with Bruce, to site visits and liaison with Brett and Simon, I have been thoroughly impressed. My neighbour has seen the workmanship and quality of the SolarEdge system and is having one installed also. Overall a very easy and professional experience. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks.
Sarah Humble
Just like to thank you and your crew for the effort you have put in for my solar system. Especially for Rob and his off sider for the big day they put in, installing the system on a 30 degree pitch roof. Once again thank you all at Accord.
Les Canning
We have recently had Solar Panels fitted to our 15yr old home. It was a big decision for us as we are in our 60’s and wondered if it was worth it at our stage in life. We were very pleased with the information given to us from Bruce. He answered all of my worrying questions.
Rob and Janelle
I would like to thank Bruce and the whole team from Accord Electrical on the excellent customer service they displayed in getting my solar system installed in an extremely efficient manner. They were friendly, respectful and definitely exceeded my expectations in making the whole transaction a positive experience.
Kris Barnes
We were happy with how fast we were booked in for installation of our solar system with Accord electrical. We were also happy that when we asked them to throw an extra panel in, They did. Sorry it’s taken so long with the review. We wanted to have our electricity bill before we reviewed, But we can always send in another one after.
Gillian
These guys were local, long experience and have a great reputation. The quote was the best, quality German Inverter and good panels. Installers overruled our initial thinking of splitting the panels to both sides of the roof peak…for good reasons. Nice to have a professional walk you through it. Very efficient and clean install with no dramas, even when I asked them to put the inverter inside the garage. Highly recommend them.
Scott
I decided to accept Accord because of their willingness to answer questions, consider and discuss equipment and installation options, conduct a second visit to discuss installation and they are a well-established local general electrical contractor. Since installation, they’ve been very responsive to queries to explain and clarify matters. It’s only early days to evaluate the effectiveness of the system but the data seems pretty good so far.
Glenn
The salesperson was delightful, not pushy or arrogant . The installation was painless and the working of the system was explained very well. As an established electrical company I felt comfortable dealing with them. The system we put in seems to be going well – time will tell.
Wendy
I had concerns about the placement of the Inverter. Accord arranged for their head electrician to talk this through with me before w committed to their quote. I felt their knowledge about the products and installation was very applied – not just salespeak.
Angela
Easier and cheaper than expected – Accord were prompt, gave a lot of information and offer a good back up service.
