LGCY Power Expands Residential Solar Business Through National Homebuilder Partnerships

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc., (“SolarEdge” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: SEDG), a global leader in smart energy technology, launched a solar-powered EV charging solution for businesses at Intersolar Europe 2025. Available now, the new solution includes a new EV charger for businesses, powered and controlled by an energy management system introduced following Wevo Energy’s acquisition last year. This solution joins the SolarEdge C&I ecosystem for commercial-scale solar and storage solutions. Businesses with SolarEdge’s solar systems can now charge their EV fleet with ‘power-optimized’ solar energy to further reduce their energy bills – with one of the first beta customers reporting a reduction in EV charging costs of approximately 70%.

Christoph Vogl, CEO of BV-comOffice GmbH, a leading German office retailerand one of the first customers to deploy the new SolarEdge EV charging solution, commented: “Since installing SolarEdge’s PV and EV charging solution, we have managed to cut our EV fleet charging costs by around 70% – a substantial saving on our energy bill. I’ve also been impressed by how adaptable the system is – it allows us to prioritize different vehicles, so we can ensure our sales reps are always road-ready, while other employees can have their cars charged by the end of the day. Our employees are also really pleased to be charging their cars with clean energy – it’s been a hit across the board.”

The SolarEdge ONE EV Charger

Designed to maximize solar self-consumption and use of excess solar, the SolarEdge ONE EV Charger is now available for commercial applications and is expected to be available for residential applications in Q3 2025.

Featuring a new sleek, slim and compact design, the SolarEdge ONE EV Charger will be suitable for both single-phase and three-phase modes with automatic switching built-in. With snap-on wall mounting and multiple cable entry points, installation is faster, simpler and more flexible, taking just a few minutes. The EV charger is also supported by ‘Olivia’, a newly released AI phone support agent purpose-built for EV charging.

Solar, Storage and EV charging for optimized economics

The EV charging solution combines customer-specific EV charging schedules and solar generation patterns with real-time grid electricity prices to autonomously calculate the most economical energy source to charge a fleet of EVs – whether that’s with solar, battery or grid. Leveraging SolarEdge’s C&I Inverters ability to provide up to 175% oversizing, excess solar can be redirected to power EV fleets.

The system also enables ‘tiered charging modes’, allowing priority users – such as sales reps who need their car throughout the day – to access grid power if needed, while other non-priority vehicles are set to charge only when solar is available. By dynamically boosting or throttling EV charging based on real-time energy loads, the new solution is also designed to allow scaling up to 20x more chargers on existing infrastructure, while ensuring the building’s energy load is not exceeded.

Global rollout of brand-new monitoring and management system

SolarEdge’s ONE for C&I energy optimization software and monitoring platform will today begin rollout for all C&I customers. For operation & maintenance teams, this platform presents new remote troubleshooting, device operation and remote configuration features to help minimize downtime and reduce site visits, while new live alerts improve proactive response times.

Plug-and-play home solar systems allow people to save on electric bills while avoiding the high costs, permitting and months-long installation timelines of traditional systems."

How Does STREAM Series Work?

The EcoFlow STREAM series includes two key products: STREAM Ultra and STREAM Microinverter. The STREAM Ultra is a 1.92kWh solar battery with a built-in grid-tied microinverter — the first of its kind in the industry. The Microinverter converts solar energy directly into grid-ready electricity without energy storage capability.

The STREAM Ultra battery maximizes energy savings by storing excess solar power collected during daylight hours and making it available for regular use later or in the event of a power outage. STREAM Ultra can also collect 2000W of solar input, with 1,200W being directly fed into your home via the built-in microinverter, while any excess energy is stored in the battery.

For homes without energy storage needs, the optional standalone STREAM Microinverter converts solar energy directly into the home via a standard AC wall outlet up to 1,200W output. This energy is instantly available for use, helping to lower reliance on the grid and reduce utility bills.

This flexible system allows residents to position solar panels on balconies, patios, backyards and other outdoor spaces and harness their power in three configurations:

• STREAM Ultra: Up to 2,000W of total solar input with up to 1,200W of it going directly to the home and the remainder for battery charging.
• STREAM Microinverter: Up to 1,200W of solar power going directly to the home.
• STREAM Ultra + STREAM Microinverter: Up to 3,200W of total solar input with up to 1,200W going directly to the home and up to 2,000W for battery charging.

Ultimate Electricity Cost Savings & Expandability

With one EcoFlow STREAM Ultra and one Microinverter, this plug-and-play setup can provide more than 6,000kWh of electricity per year, supplying approximately half of the average U.S. household's needs and cutting bills by as much as $1,027 annually [note].

When multiple Ultra batteries are connected, the modular setup can expand from 1.92kWh to 11.52kWh and allows flexible battery placement. Powered by an AI-driven solar network, multiple batteries can work in sync — no matter where they're located — to extend runtime, minimize grid reliance and eliminate solar waste. With its plug-and-play setup and intelligent energy flow management, households move closer to energy independence and zero electricity bills.

Smart Design. Smarter Energy Management 

Built for long-lasting performance and everyday ease, STREAM Series features a clean, compact design that integrates seamlessly into modern homes. STREAM Ultra's durable LFP battery retains 70% capacity even after 6,000 cycles and operates reliably in extreme temperatures down to -14°F. With a NEMA 4 rating for the Ultra battery and NEMA 6 for the Microinverter, the system is built to handle both indoor and outdoor conditions. Built-in safety mechanisms continuously monitor energy loads in real time, automatically adjusting power to stay within the 1200W limit and prevent tripping household circuits.

The STREAM Series is compatible with EcoFlow OASIS, an AI-powered energy management platform available through the EcoFlow app, designed to maximize home energy storage, prepare for weather-related power outages and reduce electric bills.
