SolarEdge 3-Phase Battery + Hybrid Inverter Get AU Approval

Solar inverter, optimiser, battery storage and EV charger manufacturer SolarEdge has announced its Home Hub Universal 3-phase inverter was last week approved by the Clean Energy Council for use in Australia, following the CEC’s recent tick for the company’s 3-phase battery system.

What Are The Home Hub Universal 3-Phase Inverter’s Specs?

• Scalable from 7kW to 20 kW (10 kW SE10K-RWB48 AU approved).
• 98.4% efficiency.
• Up to 200% DC oversizing when paired with a SolarEdge Home Modular Battery: BAT-05K48.
• Compatible with SolarEdge EV Charger and Load Controller.
• Backup power for either full or partial home loads when paired with the SolarEdge Home Battery and Backup Interface.
• Automatic Switchover Time: ≤ 6 seconds.
• Multiple safety features.
• Module-level monitoring.
• Dimensions (H x W x D) 907 x 317 x 192 mm.
• Weight: 37 kg.
• Operating Temperature Range: -40 to +60 ˚C.
• Fan cooled.
• Noise level: < 50 dBA.
• IP 65 rated for indoor/outdoor installation.
• Manufactured in Hungary, China, Vietnam.
• 12-year warranty standard, can be extended to 25 years.

The backup switchover time noted may be considered slow by some, but the delay has an advantage. Fast switchover means a household may not be aware when a blackout has occurred; which could result in an accidentally drained battery if energy consumption isn’t appropriately conserved during the event.

SolarEdge 3-Phase Home Battery (BAT-05K48) Highlights

The BAT-05K48 is a scalable, modular system that was approved for use in Australia by the CEC on November 20, 2025.

• 4.6 kWh (noted as “kW” on datasheet – likely typo) usable capacity battery modules; up to 5 per inverter for 23 kWh total usable capacity¹.
• Battery chemistry: LFP (Lithium-iron phosphate).
• Up to 95.4% round-trip efficiency.
• Voltage Range 44.8 – 56.5 Vdc.
• Operating Temperature (charge/discharge): -10 to +50 °C. Battery power will derate when the internal temperature of the battery is higher than 40°C and lower than 15°C.
• Natural convection cooling (no fan).
• IP65 / NEMA 3R rating – indoor and outdoor (water and dust protection).
• Manufactured in China.
• 10-year warranty and at least 70% of nominal capacity at the end of the 10 years.

There’s also a single-phase version of the battery that’s been available in Australia for quite a while — you can learn more about it on our SolarEdge battery reviews page.

SolarEdge TradeUp Program

For customers with an existing SolarEdge 3-phase residential inverter without a battery, the company is currently offering a complimentary upgrade to the new Home Hub Universal Three Phase Inverter when they add a stack of three modular 3-phase batteries along with a backup interface.

A similar deal applies for customers adding a SolarEdge single-phase battery and backup interface package to an existing single-phase SolarEdge system. There’s a choice between a 10 kW or 5 kW single-phase inverter.

Both offers include a new 12-year Home Hub Universal warranty. The single-phase TradeUp Program ends on March 31, 2026 and for three-phase, December 31, 2026. Further TradeUp details can be found here.

Founded in 2006, SolarEdge released its first inverter in 2010 — a single phase model. The company’s inverters are different to most others as they require a (SolarEdge) optimiser for every solar panel. These small devices maximise the amount of energy each solar panel produces, enable module-level monitoring, mitigate module mismatch-loss issues from manufacturing tolerance to partial shading and aging, and provide additional system safety features.

SolarEdge entered the Australian market with its inverters in 2010, although some sources note it was 2015. The firm set up its Australian office in Melbourne in 2013.

SolarEdge released its first home battery in the US market in 2021, which was formally launched in Australia in late March 2022.
