Anyone have a SolarEdge StorEdge battery interface installed?

[J.P.M.]

I know it will be controversial here, but CA's SGIP program is in fact re-opening with a significant incentive ($0.50 / Wh). I haven't tried to run numbers yet on how much difference it makes, but it would be nice to have some open dialog about it and figure out where the breakeven cost of a peak shaving storage system is, given peak electricity prices of ~0.50 / kWh in some TOU plans.

As an advocate of R.E., I've always been on the fence about rebates. On one hand, if I'm a user, I sure like (and liked in the past) the feeling of a helping hand. But, as a former peddler and born again cynic, I'm more convinced that such incentives do little more than increase the end cost to the user. If you buy one of these things, despite protestations to the contrary by them, your price from any vendor just went up $0.50/Watt. Such incentives help sellers more than users with the added drawback that the added price schtup for sellers allows poorly run outfits to survive a bit more easily and longer.

"an acquaintance told me" line of crap. Again a complete load of crap from someone who knows nothing about the technology. All Dan has is an agenda plotted out by Green Mafia.

Solaredge support says they currently offer a $608 buyback credit. Here's the flyer they sent me: SEDG_to_StorEdge_flyer.pdf

Solaredge has not yet released the part numbers and parts to upgrade an SE7600 to a SrorEdge.

Hey folks,
an acquaintance told me he's signed up to get a battery added to his solar house, that it will provide power when the grid is down, and that California's SGIP rebates are currently awesome.

So what the heck, I started thinking about it. It would be nice to
insulate my house from the relatively frequent short power outages in our neighborhood,
and secondarily, to reduce the amount of grid power I pull at night
and thereby eke out a tiny bit more revenue.

I looked up the battery feature for the inverter I used (the SE 7600A).
Its product page is solaredge.com/us/products/storedge, which links to the retrofit and install guides,
solaredge.com/sites/default/files/preparing_for_storedge_upgrade_on_grid.pdf
solaredge.com/sites/default/files/storedge_backup_installation_guide_NA.pdf
and am contemplating whether it's worth it.

SolarEdge used to talk about being compatible with the Powerwall and Powerwall 2;
now they talk about being compatible with LG batteries.

Has anyone here gone from a plain old SE7600A system to a StorEdge with battery?
If so, what battery did you use, how much did it all cost, and do you have any pictures?
