For mounting on rails with sliding nut fasteners: If the star washer cannot be used, use the
l
SolarEdge grounding plate (purchased separately) between the railing and the flat side of the
mounting bracket. A pply torque of 9.5 N*m / 7 lb*ft.
Figure 3: Power optimizer installation and grounding using a grounding plate
For mounting on un-grounded structures (such as a wooden structure): If the star washer or
l
the plate cannot be used, use the SolarEdge grounding lug (purchased separately) with an
equipment-grounding conductor a ccording to the supplied instructions. The grounding terminal
accepts a wire size of 6-14 AWG, and must be sized for equipment grounding per NEC 250.122
requirements. Tighten the screws connecting the power optimizer to the frame and the
grounding terminal screw. Apply torque of 9.5 N*m / 7 lb*ft.
5. Verify that each power optimizer is securely attached to the supporting structure or the module.
NOTE
Record power optimizer serial numbers and locations, as described in Providing Installation
Information on page 51.
