Following the launch of its first energy storage solution for the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) sector, SolarEdge Technologies<\/strong> has upgraded its CSS-OD platform with a more powerful and scalable configuration, designed to meet the requirements of PV installers, system designers and renewable energy professionals.<\/p>\n

Originally consisting of a 102.4 kWh battery cabinet<\/strong> paired with a 50 kW PCS (Power Conversion System)<\/strong>, the CSS-OD platform now introduces a new 197.12 kWh battery unit<\/strong>, available with either a 50 kW or 100 kW PCS<\/strong>. This enhanced configuration provides greater design flexibility while maintaining compatibility with the existing architecture, allowing the integration of one or two power conversion modules according to the project’s power requirements.[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Greater capacity and scalability for C&I applications<\/h2>\n

One of the most significant improvements is the increase in storage capacity. The new 197.12 kWh battery cabinet<\/strong> delivers substantially higher energy density than the previous generation, enabling more compact and higher-performance storage installations.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its modular architecture, the CSS-OD system can now be expanded up to 4 MWh of energy storage capacity<\/strong>, with up to 1 MW of charge and discharge power<\/strong>. These capabilities make it an ideal solution for advanced self-consumption, peak shaving and energy optimisation in commercial and industrial facilities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/yJANj8Giwrw?si=EKfuF35ndhpV5hh7″ align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Advanced safety features and integrated protection<\/h2>\n

In line with SolarEdge’s engineering standards, safety remains a key feature of the CSS-OD platform.<\/p>\n

The BESS incorporates smoke, temperature and humidity sensors, supported by an integrated fire suppression system based on aerosol technology and Novec gas<\/strong>, designed to provide rapid and effective protection in the event of abnormal operating conditions.<\/p>\n

The system also includes comprehensive electrical protection on both the AC and DC sides<\/strong>, including surge protection devices and reverse polarity protection, helping to maximise system reliability while reducing operational risks.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Simplified installation and intelligent energy management<\/h2>\n

From an installation perspective, the CSS-OD is delivered as a factory pre-assembled and fully tested unit<\/strong>, significantly reducing on-site installation time while minimising commissioning errors.<\/p>\n

Integration with the SolarEdge ONE<\/strong> energy management platform enables intelligent control of energy flows, improving self-consumption, reducing demand peaks and optimising overall energy costs. This provides commercial and industrial businesses with greater operational efficiency and enhanced return on investment from their photovoltaic and battery storage systems.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/UOheAlcKI-M?si=HAyU-wub5EEZAxwi” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
