Step 1: Mounting The Power Optimizers; Step 2: Connecting A Pv Module To A Power Optimizer - SolarEdge StorEdge Installation Manual

Step 1: Mounting the Power Optimizers

For each of the power optimizers
1. Determine the power optimizer mounting location and use the power optimizer
mounting brackets to attach the power optimizer to the support structure . It is
recommended to mount the poweroptimizer in a location protected from direct
sunlight. For frame-mounted power optimizers follow the instructions supplied with
the optimizers, or refer to https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/installing_
frame_mounted_power_optimizers.pdf.
2. If required, mark the mounting hole locations and drill the hole.
CAUTION!
Do not drill through the power optimizer or through the mounting holes. The drilling vibrations can
damage the power optimizer and will void the warranty.
3. Attach each power optimizer to the rack using M6 (1/4'') stainless steel bolts, nuts and washers or
other appropriate mounting hardware. A pply torque of 9.5 N*m / 7 lb*ft.
4. Verify that each power optimizer is securely attached to the module support structure.
5. Record power optimizer serial numbers and locations, as described in Step 4: Reporting and Monitoring
Installation Data on page 48.
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 poweroptimizers:
Connect the Plus (+) output connector of the module to the Plus (+) input connector of the power

optimizer.
Connect the Minus (-) output connector of the module to the Minus (-) input connector of the

power optimizer.
