SolarEdge Technologies, Inc., a smart energy technology provider, has announced the global rollout of SolarEdge ONE for C&I, a software-based energy optimization platform for commercial and industrial (C&I) solar applications. It is expected to become generally available in the coming months.

SolarEdge ONE for C&I is what the company calls a first-of-a-kind energy optimization platform. SolarEdge developed it for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts; operation and maintenance (O&M) providers, and businesses. It is designed to automatically and constantly manage the site’s energy production, storage, and consumption. The company claims this will enable businesses to maximize energy savings and meet their environmental goals by using real-time data analytics to make better decisions.

SolarEdge ONE for C&I will offer EPCs and O&M teams advanced photovoltaic (PV) monitoring and fleet management tools tailored for C&I applications. The software platform will deliver performance analysis across PV fleets down to the module level. In addition, it is intended to help EPC and O&M teams to minimize downtime and reduce site visits, with features such as remote troubleshooting, device operation and remote configuration. The platform’s live alerts system will enable proactive response to critical issues for extended system performance.

The SolarEdge ONE for C&I platform is designed to serve as a single ecosystem for controlling and managing the site’s energy assets, including PV, storage, EV chargers, and building assets such as HVAC or lighting. It will provide energy insights to stakeholders and is intended to render unnecessary complicated third-party integrations.

“SolarEdge ONE for C&I is a culmination of our recent strategic acquisitions of software companies Wevo for EV charging management and Hark for buildings energy asset optimization, as well as our expertise and know-how in developing a dedicated C&I energy optimization solution,” said Zvi Lando, CEO of SolarEdge, in a press release. “Complementing our hardware portfolio of inverters and our new C&I storage systems, the comprehensive solution will offer customers a complete end-to-end ecosystem with optimization for energy savings, from a single supplier.”
