What the documents establish
Published evidence, source-reviewed non-disclosure and unresolved questions remain separate from the product score.
Usable capacity
97% of this battery’s nominal capacity is usable, 9.7 kWh in the scored configuration.9.7 kWh usableScored configuration: SolarEdge Home Battery / Energy Bank (BAT-10K1PS0B).
The remaining 3% stays in the pack as reserve; the home never draws it.
Nominal capacity is not stated here. The usable kWh and the depth-of-discharge percentage are sourced separately, at times from different documents and different module counts, so dividing one by the other would produce a nominal figure no manufacturer published.
Usable capacity sourceDepth-of-discharge sourceCapacity guarantee: minimum retained at year 10
No year-by-year capacity schedule is published for this product - the manufacturer guarantees only this end-of-term minimum, not a specific decline curve. Capacity figure based on the sourced usable capacity of the base configuration; modular systems scale with additional modules.
Blackout protection
62 / 100#50 of 90 batteriesWhole-home (via hybrid inverter)
The blackout score is a standalone benchmark of outage resilience only - it re-weights sourced specs already scored in this product’s pillars (backup tier, switchover, surge strength, backup power, off-grid recharge) and never affects the overall score. Dots show the full battery fleet; the marker is this product.

Strong evidence coverage
30 of 30 scored criteria link directly to a published source.
Values marked estimated, derived, or not found remain visible on the audit sheet and do not carry the same evidential weight as a linked source. Coverage measures direct links, not an independent guarantee that a claim is correct.

US Warranty conditions
- Before
- Not previously recorded
- After
- labour: Labour, travel and boarding for on-site repair, uninstall and reinstall are excluded unless SolarEdge agrees otherwise in writing.; registration: No separate product-registration portal is stated. Cover requires connection to an approved SolarEdge inverter and the Monitoring Platform for the full term, with serial number, purchase evidence and prompt notice of a claimed defect.; remedy: SolarEdge may repair, replace with an equivalent product, or issue a credit up to the remaining capacity value toward SolarEdge products.; removal reinstallation: Uninstalling and reinstalling costs are excluded. Moving the battery from its original site without SolarEdge's written consent ends cover.; transferability: The remaining term may transfer to an assignee provided the battery is not moved from its original installation site or deinstalled and reinstalled.; transport: Where SolarEdge invokes its return procedure, it bears shipping and customs on the repaired or replaced unit to a designated location in countries where it has an office or a significant PV market. Buyer-arranged shipping is excluded.
US Warranty scope
- Current text
- United States; SolarEdge Limited SolarEdge Home Battery 400V Warranty for North America, revised May 2025, runs 10 years from installation or 12 months from shipment, whichever comes first, and retains 70% energy capacity. Cycles are unlimited for standard solar self-consumption, time-of-use, backup and SolarEdge-managed use, or capped at 26 MWh under third-party management. The warrantor is SolarEdge Technologies Ltd. The Australian and German instruments on this record are not transferred.
