  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction This document provides detailed instructions and safety information regarding the installation, electrical connection, and maintenance of SolarEdge smart modules. Integrated with power optimizers, these high-performance modules are based on Smart Half-cut Cell Mono PERC technology. The module is powered by high-efficiency cells providing an effective solution for lowering the cost of the power produced over time in large and small PV systems.
  • Page 6: Limitation Of Liability

    Limitation of liability Since SolarEdge has no control over the use of this manual and the conditions or methods of installation, operation, use and maintenance of photovoltaic (PV) products, SolarEdge does not accept responsibility and expressly disclaims liability for loss, damage, or expense arising out of or in any way connected with such installation, operation, use or maintenance.
  • Page 7: Grounding

    Installation requirements Power Optimizers regulate the string voltage at a constant value regardless of the string length and environmental conditions. Under normal conditions, a module might produce more current and/or voltage than specified at standard test conditions . The requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 690 shall be followed to address these increased outputs.

    Mechanical installation Add the gasket and nut on the other side of the bolt and tighten to secure all parts. Tighten to a torque of 2.1±0.1N·m. Module wiring When planning PV module installation, consider cable lengths on the roof and other facets, extension cables and branch cables if requested.
  • Page 9: Installation Guidelines

    Mechanical installation Modules should be installed no closer than 50m/164ft to the shoreline of the ocean or any other saline environment, as long as there is no direct contact from saltwater, splashes or spray on the module. Do not install the modules near flames or flammable materials or locations with hazardous materials.
  • Page 10 Mechanical installation Each module has eight (8) mounting holes for securing the module to the frame. These must all be used with this fixing method. Use M8 screws with spring washers and flat washers in symmetrical positions on the module. Tighten the screws to a torque between 16N·m and 20N·m. See detailed screw fixing illustrations below.
  • Page 11 Mechanical installation For clamping on the long side of the module frame: NOTES Use at least four (4) clamps.  “S” is the permissible clamping range: 380mm<S<480mm from the short side of the  module. The modules are installed with their long side perpendicular to the mounting rails. ...

    Specific clamping details Specific clamping details Clamping smart modules SPVxxx-60MMJ / SPVxxx-R60JWMG / SPVxxx- R54Jxxx Using clamps on the long side of the module: Using clamps on the short side of the module: Attach the clamps using an M8 bolt, a plain (flat) washer, a spring washer, and an M8 nut. Use at least four (4) clamps (two clamps per side).
  • Page 15 Specific clamping details Use clamps with the following properties: The dimensions for the middle clamps are: a ≥ 40mm, b ≥ 26mm, c = 8mm, d≥ 28mm, and Ø = 9mm. The recommended torque for tightening the bolts and nuts is 28N·m for Class 8.8 bolts and nuts. Fastening the module: 1.

    Specific clamping details Clamping smart modules SPVxxx-R60LWMG and SPVxxx- R60LBMG Modules may be placed with their long side perpendicular to the frame or parallel with the frame, as shown below. Slide M8 bolts through the rail grooves at the four clamp locations. Attach each aluminum mounting clamp with an M8 (5/16") bolt and an M8 (5/16") nut.

    Specific clamping details Fastening the module 1. Place the module on two supporting rails (not provided). NOTES The rails must be made from stainless steel material or treated with an anti-corrosion  process (e.g. anodic oxidation treatment). If the rail does not have grooves compatible with M8 bolts, drill suitable holes. ...

    Reporting and monitoring installation data 3. Secure each clamp by placing a flat washer under the bolt head and a flat and spring washer under the nut. The clamp must overlap the module frame by at least 7mm but not more than 12mm. Middle clamp installation End clamp installation The modules may be clamped only in the permitted clamping range.
  • Page 19: Creating Logical And Physical Layouts

    For detailed information, refer to the Mapper demo movies: Scanning a smart panel using the SolarEdge Mapper App After scanning the smart module or the Power Optimizer, the Mapper activates a dedicated mapping process to ensure that the Power Optimizer inputs are assigned to their module(s). You can approve each input assignment separately.
