Step 4: Verifying Proper Power Optimizer Connection
In SolarEdge systems, due to the introduction of poweroptimizers between the PV modules and the
inverter, the short circuit current I
those in traditional systems.

To verify proper power optimizer connection:
Measure the voltage of each string individually before connecting it to the other strings or to the inverter.
Verify correct polarity by measuring the string polarity with a voltmeter. Use a voltmeter with at least
0.1V measurement accuracy.
NOTE
Since the inverter is not yet operating, you may measure the string voltage and verify correct polarity
on the DC wires inside the Connection Unit.
For troubleshooting power optimizer operation problems, refer to Power Optimizer Troubleshooting on
page 60.
