It was a pleasure to interview Jason Kirrage, Technical Marketing Manager for SolarEdge Technologies, at Solar and Storage Live in Birmingham this year!

Solar&StorageXtra is the new publishing part of the Solar and Storage Live event series where we will be interviewing our esteemed speakers, exhibitors, sponsors and attendees to get their live reactions to the event and the important discussions within the industry.

SolarEdge are a technology company that were founded in 2006 with the first of their products being available in the UK in 2010. At Solar and Storage Live, SolarEdge were showcasing their innovative new product, the SolarEdge1!

The SolarEdge1 is a new ‘amazing product’ that combines both innovations in software and hardware. Jason explained in the panel discussion before his presentation on the SolarEdge1, the speakers were complaining that ‘no one integrates Solar PV, heat pumps, and electric vehicle (EV) technology together and the technology is difficult to install.’

The SolarEdge1, Jason explained, joins all of these technologies together; any third party or SolarEdge device will now work together. The technology allows for the control and scheduling of electricity generation, the charging and discharging of EVs, all the while taking into account the use of dynamic tariffs.

The SolarEdge1 can adapt to all their customers needs.

SolarEdge also offer a range of residential, commercial, and utility battery energy storage systems. Whether each system includes a battery, back-up, or EV charging system, all of which use the same technology contributing to SolarEdge’s commitment to safety.

“We have no competitors to be honest. SolarEdge are the standard (for safety) everyone should adhere and raise up to.” – Jason Kirrage, Technical Marketing Manager, SolarEdge

SolarEdge offer safety as standard. Optimisers can be lowered to one volt, allowing maintenance to be carried out as easy as possible.
