  • Page 16: Chapter 2: Installing The Power Optimizer Safety

    Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizer     15 Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizer Safety The following notes and warnings apply when installing the power optimizers. Some of the following may not be applicable to smart modules: WARNING! When modifying an existing installation, turn OFF the inverter ON/OFF/P switch, the Safety Switch (if applicable) and the AC circuit breaker on the main AC distribution panel.
  • Page 17: 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 18 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 power optimizer inputs in parallel, use a branch cable.
  • Page 19: Step 1: Mounting The Power Optimizers

    . 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 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! Drilling vibrations may damage the power optimizer and will void the warranty.
  • Page 20 Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizer     19  3. Attach each power optimizer to the rack using M6 (1/4'') stainless steel bolts, nuts and washers or other 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.
  • Page 21: Step 2: Connecting A Pv Module To A Power Optimizer

      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 optimizer.
  • Page 22: 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 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.
  • Page 23: Chapter 3: Installing The Inverter

    Identifying the Inverter Refer to the sticker on the inverter that specifies its Serial Number and its Electrical Ratings. Provide the serial number when contacting SolarEdge support. The serial number is also required when opening a new site in the monitoring platform.
