    Chapter 1: Introducing the SolarEdge Power Harvesting System The SolarEdge power harvesting solution maximizes the power output from any type of solar Photovoltaic (PV) installation while reducing the average cost per watt. The following sections describe each of the system’s components.
  • Page 15: Power Optimizer

      Power Optimizer Power Optimizer The power optimizers are DC-DC converters connected to PV modules in order to maximize power harvesting by performing independent Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) at the module level. The power optimizers regulate the string voltage at a constant level, regardless of string length and environmental conditions.

  • Page 23: Package Contents

      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 24 Frame-mounted power optimizers are mounted directly on the module frame, regardless of racking system (rail-less or with rails). For installation of frame-mounted power optimizers, refer to http://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/installing_frame_ mounted_power_optimizers.pdf. The power optimizer can be placed in any orientation. If connecting more modules than optimizer inputs in parallel, use a branch cable.
  • Page 25: Step 1: Mounting And Grounding The Power Optimizers

    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. (1) Not applicable to smart modules.
  • Page 26 (1) These methods have been evaluated by a nationally recognized testing laboratory as part of the optimizer evaluation. The SolarEdge-supplied grounding lug kit has been evaluated only for use with SolarEdge power optimizers. It is not intended or listed to be used as a general purpose grounding lug with other electrical equipment.
  • Page 27 Figure 7: Power optimizer installation and grounding using a grounding plate For mounting on un-grounded structures (such as a wooden structure): If the star washer or the plate cannot be used, use the SolarEdge grounding lug (purchased separately) with an equipment-grounding conductor according to the supplied instructions.

    Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizers     27 Figure 8: Power optimizer grounding terminal  5. Verify that each power optimizer is securely attached to the module support structure.  6. Record power optimizer serial numbers and locations, as described in Reporting and Monitoring Installation Data on page 55.
  • Page 29: Step 4: Verifying Proper Power Optimizer Connection

    Make sure the PV modules are exposed to sunlight during this process. The power optimizer will only turn ON if the PV module provides at least 2W. In SolarEdge systems, due to the introduction of poweroptimizers 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.
