Installation Workflow

Installation Workflow
When installing the StorEdge system, follow this workflow to ensure all the components are connected
and functioning correctly.
Plan the StorEdge system layout:
The battery and StorEdge Interface will connect to the DC side of the inverter. Since the inverter
l
DC connections are on its left side, it is recommended to position the battery and interface to the
left of the inverter to simplify wiring.
To simplify cable management, a minimum distance of 1.5m between battery and interface is
l
recommended.
Step 1 - PV system installation - modules, power optimizers and inverter(s). Refer to the following
chapters of the SolarEdge Installation Guide supplied with the inverter and available at
http://www.solaredge.com/files/pdfs/products/inverters/guides/se-inverter-installation-guide.pdf:
Installing the Power Optimizers (if applicable)

Connecting the AC and the Strings to the Inverter
l
Activating the inverter- as described in the Commissioning chapter of the SolarEdge Installation Guide,
l
using the activation card supplied with the inverter.
Upgrading the inverter firmware version, using the upgrade card supplied with the StorEdge
l
Interface.
Pairing the system - as described in the Commissioning chapter of the SolarEdge Installation Guide

Step 2 - Electricity Meter installation (required for Smart Energy Management). Refer to Meter
Installation on page 7.
Step 3 - StorEdge Interface installation and connection as described in StorEdge Interface Installation on
page 9.
Step 4 - Connect the battery to the StorEdge Interface and mount the battery
installation information in the manufacturer documentation, and to Connecting the StorEdge Interface to
the Battery Pack on page 14.
Step 5 - Configuring the communication between the inverter and the other devices (meter, battery,
etc.). Refer to Configuring the RS485 Bus for Battery and Meter Connection on page 19.
Step 6 - Configuring the StorEdge application. Refer to Configuring Maximum Self-consumption on page 21.
1 To gain better accessibility to the battery connection panel, it is recommended to connect the battery cables
mounting it on the wall.
