Installation Equipment List
Standard tools can be used during the installation of the SolarEdge system. The following
is a recommendation of the equipment needed for installation:
Allen screwdriver for 5mm screw type for the inverter cover, StorEdge Connection Unit c over (if
applicable), and inverter side screws
Allen screwdriver for M5/M6/M8 screw types
Standard flat-head screwdrivers set
Non-contact voltage detector
Cordless drill or screwdriver and bits suitable for the surface on which the inverter will be installed.
Use of an impact driver is not recommended.
Appropriate mounting hardware ( for example: stainless bolts, nuts, and washers) for attaching:
the mounting bracket to the mounting surface
o
the power optimizer to the racking (not required for smart modules)
o
MC4 crimper
Wire cutters
Wire strippers
Voltmeter
For installing the communication options, you may also need the following:
For Ethernet:
CAT5/6 twisted pair Ethernet cable with RJ45 connector.
o
If using a CAT5/6 cable spool: RJ45 plug and RJ45 crimper
o
For RS485:
Four- or six-wire shielded twisted pair cable.
o
Watchmaker precision screwdriver set
o
Inverter Transport and Storage
Transport the inverter in its original packaging, facing up and without exposing it to unnecessary shocks.
If the original package is no longer available, use a similar box that can withstand the weight of the
inverter (refer to the inverter weight in the specification datasheet provided with the unit), has a handle
system and can be closed fully.
Store the inverter in a dry place where ambient temperatures are -25°C - +65°C / -13°F - 149°F.
