Cashmere Solar Hybrid System with SolarEdge Home Batteries

This family home is running a powerful data centre that would impress the likes of Google and Microsoft. Aiming to offset this impressive setup as well as their regular household consumption, our customer reached out to Springers Solar for a renewable energy solution to power their property.

Joe Springer worked closely with this Cashmere customer to design a system that maximises the property's solar generation and meets the energy required to power their home efficiently.

The resulting system pairs Trina Solar panels, chosen for their industry-leading efficiency and huge power output, with a SolarEdge inverter and battery system. A 26.4kW array, consisting of 60 Trina Solar 440W Vertex S+ N-Type modules, was installed on the home’s rooftop.

Each panel was paired with a SolarEdge DC Optimiser, which enhances the performance of partially shaded panels and optimises the output of the whole array. Additionally, the optimisers also provides the customer and Springers after-sales support team with the ability to monitor each panel’s individual performance as well as the systems’s performance as a whole. 

The array was coupled with two SolarEdge 10kW Genesis Inverters and One SolarEdge 10kW Home Hub Inverter, which offers the property 30kW of combined inverter capacity. The Home Hub, being a hybrid inverter, allowed the integration of two SolarEdge 10kWh Home Battery modules.

The battery modules offer up to 20kWh of solar energy storage, which the customer can use at night or during blackouts, ensuring their data centre runs efficiently even in the event of a grid outage.

As someone who works with data daily, it was important to our customer to have a solar solution that could be easily and effectively monitored. This desire guided the decision to create a SolarEdge ecosystem at the property. This system can be easily tracked and managed through SolarEdge’s monitoring platform and the mySolarEdge app. The Springers Solar after-sales support team also conducts regular system monitoring to ensure optimal performance for our customer.
