Step 1: Mounting The Power Optimizers; Step 2: Connecting A Pv Module To A Power Optimiser - SolarEdge SE5K 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 power optimizer
in a location protected from direct sunlight. For frame-mounted
power optimizers follow the instructions supplied with the optimizers,
or refer to

2. If required, mark the mounting hole locations and drill the hole.
CAUTION!
Drilling vibrations may damage the power optimizer and will void the
warranty. Use a torque wrench or an electric drill with adjustable clutch that
meets the mounting torque requirements. Do not use impact drivers for
mounting the power optimizer.
Do not drill through the power optimizer or through the mounting holes.
3. Attach each power optimizer to the rack using M6 (1/4'') stainless steel bolts, nuts
and washers or other appropriate mounting hardware. Apply torque of 9-10 N*m /
6.5-7 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 Reporting and
Monitoring Installation Data on page 46.

Step 2: Connecting a PV Module to a Power Optimiser

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.
