Planning Connection to non-SolarEdge inverters (with or
without Safety & Monitoring Interface)
Refer to the inverter manual and modules datasheets.
Use the non-SolarEdge inverter design rules, referring to the PV modules as installed without
optimization.
WARNING!
Designing strings that are not according to the inverter design rules may result in permanent
damage to the inverter.
