SolarEdge Launches Higher-Capacity Commercial Storage System in Europe and Asia
Event summary
- SolarEdge launched the CSS-OD 197 kWh commercial storage system in Europe and Asia, available for order as of April 21, 2026.
- The new system offers a 197 kWh-rated Battery Cabinet paired with one or two 50 kW battery inverters, scalable up to 1 MW and 4 MWh per site.
- The system supports multiple applications including maximized self-consumption, peak shaving, tariff optimization, and export/import limit management.
- The launch builds on the success of the CSS-OD 102.4 kWh-rated storage system, which was introduced in late 2024 and is now installed at scale worldwide.
The big picture
SolarEdge's expansion of its commercial storage portfolio comes as the C&I sector increasingly prioritizes self-consumption and grid flexibility. The launch of the higher-capacity system positions SolarEdge to capitalize on emerging opportunities in dynamic tariffs, peak shaving, and grid services, further solidifying its role as a leader in smart energy technology. The success of the previous model indicates strong market demand, setting the stage for continued growth in this segment.
