Page 15: Chapter 2: Installing The Power Optimisers Safety
Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimisers Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimisers Safety WARNING! When modifying an existing installation, turn OFF the inverter ON/OFF/P switch and the AC circuit breaker on the main AC distribution panel. CAUTION! Power Optimisers are IP68/NEMA6P rated. Choose a mounting location where Power Optimisers will not be submerged in water. - Page 16 IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE Modules with SolarEdge power optimisers are safe. They carry only a low safety voltage before the inverter is turned ON. As long as the power optimisers are not connected to the inverter or the inverter is turned OFF, each Power Optimiser will output a safe Voltage of 1V.

Page 19: Step 1: Mounting The Power Optimisers
. It is recommended to mount the Power Optimiser in a location protected from direct sunlight. For frame-mounted Power Optimisers follow the instructions supplied with the optimisers, 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 holes. CAUTION! Drilling vibrations may damage the Power Optimiser and will void the warranty. -
Page 20: Step 3: Connecting Power Optimizers In Strings
2. To minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), make sure to minimize the distance between the positive and negative DC cables. For detailed instructions, see: https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/se-emi- performance-application-note.pdf. 3. Connect the rest of the power optimisers in the string in the same manner. -
Page 21: Step 4: Verifying Proper Power Optimiser Connection
Make sure the PV modules are exposed to sunlight during this process. The Power Optimiser will only turn ON if the PV module provides at least 2W. In SolarEdge systems, due to the introduction of Power Optimisers 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. -
