  • Page 13: Installation Guidelines

    IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE Modules with SolarEdge power optimizers are safe. They carry only a low safety voltage before the inverter is turned ON. As long as the power optimizers are not connected to the inverter or the inverter is turned OFF, each power optimizer will output a safe voltage of 1V.

  • Page 14: Step 1: Mounting The Power Optimizers

    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  optimizer. Connect the Minus (-) output connector of the module to the Minus (-) input connector of the  power optimizer. Figure 2: Power optimizer connectors 1 Not applicable to smart modules.

  • Page 16: Step 4: Verifying Proper Power Optimizer Connection

    Step 4: Verifying Proper Power Optimizer Connection After a module is connected to a power optimizer, the power optimizer outputs a safe voltage of 1V.  Therefore, the total string voltage should be equal to 1V times the number of power optimizers  connected in series in the string. For example, if 10 power optimizers are connected in a string, then 10V  should be produced. Make sure the modules are exposed to sunlight during this process; otherwise, the power optimizers may  not be powered. If you use a tracker, the power optimizer will turn ON only if the tracker is tracking the  sun and the module provides at least 2W. In SolarEdge systems, due to the introduction of power optimizers between the PV modules and the  inverter, the short circuit current I  and the open circuit voltage V  hold different meanings from  those in traditional systems.  For more information about the SolarEdge   s ystem’s string voltage and current, refer to  the V  and I  in SolarEdge Systems Technical Note, available on the SolarEdge website at:  http://www.solaredge.com/files/pdfs/isc_and_voc_in_solaredge_systems_technical_ note.pdf .  To verify proper power optimizers connection: Measure the voltage of each string individually before connecting it to the other strings or to the inverter.  Verify correct polarity by measuring the string polarity with a voltmeter. Use a voltmeter with at least  0.1V measurement accuracy. For troubleshooting power optimizer operation problems, refer to Power Optimizer Troubleshooting  on  page 85. SolarEdge-StorEdge -Single Battery/High Capacity Installation MAN-01-00283-1.1...

The SolarEdge Monitoring System The SolarEdge cloud-based monitoring platform (monitoring portal)   e nables accessing  SolarEdge site information, including up-to-date information viewed in a physical or  logical view. The monitoring portal is described in detail in the SolarEdge Monitoring Portal  User Guide, available on the SolarEdge website at  http://www.solaredge.com/files/pdfs/solaredge-monitoring-portal-user-guide.pdf. The  SolarEdge monitoring portal can display logical and physical layouts of the installed  system, as follows: Logical Layout: Shows a schematic logical layout of the components in the system, such as: inverters,  strings and modules, as well as their electrical connectivity. This view enables you to see which  modules are connected in each string, which strings are connected to each inverter, and so on. Physical Layout: Shows a schematic physical layout of the components in the system, such as:  inverters, strings and modules, as well as their electrical connectivity. This view enables a bird’s eye  view of the actual location of a system component.

    The logical and physical mapping can be used for debugging a problem using the SolarEdge monitoring  portal. If you do not report the physical and logical mapping of the installed power optimizers to SolarEdge, the  SolarEdge monitoring portal will show the logical layout indicating which power optimizers are  connected to which inverter, but will not show strings or the physical location of power optimizers. The inverter may be connected to the SolarEdge monitoring portal via LAN or via an external modem  connected to the inverter's RS232 connector. Alternatively, you can connect the inverter to another  inverter that is already connected to the server, in a master-slave configuration. Refer to Setting Up  Communication to the Monitoring Portal on page 59 . Providing Installation Information Use one of the following methods to connect your PV system to the SolarEdge cloud-based monitoring  platform (monitoring portal).

    Appendix B: Troubleshooting StorEdge Connection Unit LEDs There are three LEDs on the lower board of the StorEdge Connection Unit, near the DIP switches:  Figure 45: StorEdge Connection Unit LEDs In normal operation, the middle and bottom LEDs indicate auxiliary voltages (13V from DC/DC, 5V and  3.3V) and should always be   l it.   The top LED should be lit when the inverter DC voltage is at least 200 Vdc (check when both inverter  ON/OFF switch and StorEdge Connection Unit switch are ON). You can check the status screen for  the Vdc value. If all LEDs are OFF:    Check that AC voltage exists in the inverter   Check that the communication cable between the StorEdge Connection Unit and the digital  board is properly connected. If the top LED is ON, and middle and bottom LEDs are off - an internal failure has occurred. Contact  SolarEdge support.
