SolarEdge Home Battery in Dunlap
The SolarEdge Home Battery is a 9.7 kWh LFP battery that DC-couples directly to SolarEdge HD-Wave inverters. DC coupling eliminates the AC-to-DC conversion loss of AC-coupled systems, delivering higher round-trip efficiency. It integrates with the SolarEdge monitoring portal and supports backup power via the SolarEdge Home Backup Interface.
Dunlap is a foothill community in eastern Fresno County, located at approximately 2,400 feet elevation near Kings Canyon National Park, served by ZIP code 93621. The community is a mix of single-family homes and rural properties with excellent solar exposure — the elevation provides cooler temperatures than the valley floor, which improves panel efficiency and extends the productive hours of your system. Summer temperatures typically run 90–100°F, and PG&E bills for a typical Dunlap home run $180–$340 during summer months. PSPS outages are frequent during fire weather season due to Dunlap's proximity to Kings Canyon National Park transmission infrastructure. Many Dunlap properties have well pumps — during a PSPS event, a home without battery backup loses both power and water.
SolarEdge Home Battery is the cleanest add-on for existing SolarEdge solar owners in valley cities — DC coupling means higher round-trip efficiency and a single monitoring platform for both solar and battery.

SolarEdge Home Battery Installation Details for Dunlap
System Sizing
One SolarEdge Home Battery (9.7 kWh) covers critical loads for 8–12 hours. Two units are recommended for whole-home backup in larger Central Valley homes.
Solar Integration
DC-coupled — requires a compatible SolarEdge HD-Wave inverter. Not compatible with non-SolarEdge systems without replacing the inverter.
Backup Power
Backup power requires the SolarEdge Home Backup Interface. Robbins Energy installs and configures the full backup system.
Panel & Electrical
Compatible with 200A panels. Panel upgrade may be required for older homes. Valley floor cities typically have flat terrain with excellent south-facing roof exposure. Most homes have unobstructed solar access. Older neighborhoods may have 100-amp panels requiring upgrade.

Is battery storage worth it in Dunlap under PG&E NEM 3.0?
Under PG&E NEM 3.0, battery storage is essential to maximize the value of your solar investment. Export rates are low; storing solar for evening use avoids buying power at peak rates (4–9 PM). In Dunlap, summer electricity rates peak in the evening when solar production has stopped — battery storage lets you use your own solar power instead of buying from PG&E at peak rates.
What is the outage and PSPS risk in Dunlap?
This community is in a high-priority PSPS zone. PG&E regularly shuts off power here during high-wind fire weather events — sometimes for 2–5 days at a time. Battery storage with Storm Watch or equivalent pre-charge capability is strongly recommended for all households. High. Frequent PSPS events. Battery backup strongly recommended.
Does SolarEdge Home Battery work with my existing SolarEdge inverter?
SolarEdge Home Battery requires a SolarEdge Energy Hub inverter. If you have an older SolarEdge HD-Wave inverter, Robbins Energy can assess whether an inverter upgrade is cost-effective for your situation. In some cases, an AC-coupled battery like FranklinWH or Tesla Powerwall may be a better fit.
How much backup power does SolarEdge Home Battery provide?
The SolarEdge Home Battery is available in 9.7 kWh and 19.4 kWh configurations. A 9.7 kWh unit covers critical loads for 8–16 hours for most Central Valley homes. For whole-home backup including AC, 19.4 kWh is recommended. Robbins Energy sizes based on your actual usage data.
