Chapter 3: Installing the Inverter

Install the inverter either before or after the modules and poweroptimizers have been installed.
CAUTION!
Do not rest the connectors at the bottom of the inverter on the ground, as it may damage them. To rest
the inverter on the ground, lay it on its back.

Identifying the Inverter

Refer to the sticker on the inverter t hat specifies its Serial Number and its Electrical Ratings. P rovide the
serial number when contacting SolarEdge support. The serial number is also required when opening a
new site in the m onitoring platform.

Inverter Interfaces

The following figure shows the inverter connectors and interfaces.
AC output: For connection of the AC grid
l
DC input: For connection of the PV installation
l
ON/OFF switch: Turning this switch ON starts the operation of the power optimizers, enables power
l
production and allows the inverter to begin exporting power to the utility grid. Turning it OFF
reduces the power optimizer voltage to a low safety voltage and inhibits exportation of power. When
this switch is OFF, the inverter control circuitry remains powered up.
LCD buttons: U sed for accessing configuration menu options and displaying status screens, as
l
described in Configuring the Inverter on page 31. Pressing these buttons produces beeping sounds and
lights up the LCD for 30 seconds.
Communication gland: For connection of inverter communication options. Refer to Setting Up
l
Communication on page 44 for more information.
