The verdict. In our Premium Integrated class, SolarEdge Home Battery leads on capacity & usability. See the financial standing note above. A long warranty is only as good as the business behind it.

Worth knowing. SolarEdge reported a US$57.4 million GAAP net loss in Q1 2026, while generating US$24.4 million of operating cash flow and ending the quarter with US$246.2 million of cash and investments net of debt. It remains Nasdaq-listed and operational. These are figures for one reporting period: a loss can reflect an investment cycle as readily as a decline, and either may take several years to resolve either way. Source. One reporting period is not a trend, and a figure like this can sit alongside investment the same company has disclosed. Read the source, then ask your retailer what warranty backing applies.

Decision evidence

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.

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.
