Step 2: Connecting a PV Module to a Power Optimizer

Step 2: Connecting a PV Module to a Power
Optimizer
NOTE
Images are for illustration purposes only. Refer to the label on the product to identify the plus and
minus input and output connectors.
For each of the power optimizers
Connect the Plus (+) output connector of the module to the Plus (+) input connector of the power
l
optimizer.
Connect the Minus (-) output connector of the module to the Minus (-) input connector of the
l
power optimizer.

Step 3: Connecting Power Optimizers in Strings

You can construct parallel strings of unequal length, that is, the number of power optimizers in each
string does not have to be the same. The minimum and maximum string lengths are specified in the
power optimizer datasheets. Refer to the SolarEdge Site Designer for string length verification.
NOTE
The total cable length of the string (excluding power optimizers' cables) should not exceed
1000ft./300m from DC+ to DC- of the inverter.
Use at least 11 AWG/ 4 mm² DC cables.
IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE
Rapid shutdown is applicable and functions only when there are 30 optimizers or less per string.
1. Connect the Minus (-) output connector of the string's first power optimizer to the Plus (+) output
connector of the string's second power optimizer.
