SolarEdge aims to do it all with its Nexis residential solar and energy storage platform

SolarEdge has rolled out a new solar and battery system for homes, called Nexis, across the country. The setup includes a solar inverter paired with battery blocks that stack together, similar to building blocks, letting a household add storage up to 80 kWh. The batteries snap into place and automatically wire themselves together, which is meant to make installation faster. You can add the battery system to an existing solar setup or install it fresh alongside new panels.

One practical detail: with at least three battery modules installed, the system is built to handle the power surge needed to start large appliances like central air conditioners. SolarEdge also says the system is efficient at storing and releasing solar power, converting most of the energy that passes through it rather than losing it. Most of the system's parts, aside from the battery cells themselves, are made in the U.S., which matters for solar companies trying to qualify for tax credit bonuses tied to domestic manufacturing. The system also works with virtual power plant programs, where utilities pay homeowners for sharing stored battery power, potentially adding some savings.

This launch comes as more homeowners pair batteries with solar panels. Industry data cited in the news shows the share of new solar installations that include storage hit a record 45% in early 2026, driven partly by changes to net metering (how much credit homeowners get for excess solar power sent back to the grid) and time-of-use electric rates. Nationally, the residential battery storage market is expected to dip slightly this year before growing steadily over the next several years.
