Step 1: Mounting The Power Optimisers; Step 2: Connecting A Pv Module To A Power Optimiser - SolarEdge SE15K Installation Manual

Step 1: Mounting the Power Optimisers

For each of the Power Optimisers
1. Determine the Power Optimiser mounting location and use the Power
Optimiser mounting brackets to attach the Power Optimiser to the
support structure . 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. 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 Optimiser.
Do not drill through the Power Optimiser or through the mounting holes.
3. Attach each Power Optimiser to the rack using M6 or M8 stainless steel bolts, nuts
and washers or other mounting hardware. Apply torque of 9-10 N*m.
4. Verify that each Power Optimiser is securely attached to the module support
structure.
5. Record Power Optimiser serial numbers and locations, as described in Reporting and
Monitoring Installation Data on page 51.

Step 2: Connecting a PV module to a Power Optimiser

NOTE
Improper wiring may cause electrical faults in a PV system. To avoid electrical
faults, verify proper locking of connectors and avoid cable tension and
friction. Proper planning, materials and installation reduce the risk of electric
arcs, short-circuits and ground faults in the PV system.
