SolarEdge Home Battery in Los Banos
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.
Los Banos is a rapidly growing city of about 45,000 residents in western Merced County, located along Interstate 5 and Highway 152. Served by ZIP code 93635, Los Banos is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Central Valley. Summer temperatures regularly hit 95–105°F, and PG&E bills for a typical home run $200–$400 during peak cooling months. The flat valley setting provides excellent solar exposure. Robbins Energy serves all of Los Banos and Merced County.
Newer suburban homes with SolarEdge solar systems are ideal candidates for the Home Battery — the DC-coupled integration is seamless and the SolarEdge monitoring app tracks both solar and battery in one place.
