Power Control

Power control options are detailed in the 

Power Control Application 

Note, available on the SolarEdge website at 

https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/application_note_power_

control_configuration.pdf

.

The Grid Control option may be disabled. Enabling it opens additional 

options in the menu.

The Energy Manager  option is used for setting power export limitation, as 

described in the 

Export Limitation Application Note, available on the 

SolarEdge website at 

https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/feed-

in_limitation_application_note.pdf

.

 

Step 3: Verifying Proper Activation and 
Commissioning

 1.  Select 

Information

 and verify that the correct firmware versions are installed on each 

inverter.

 2.  Select 

Status

 and verify that inverter is operating and producing power.

 3.  Verify that additional configurations were properly set by viewing the relevant 

Status screens.

 4.  Verify that the green inverter LED is steadily lit.

Your SolarEdge power harvesting system is now operational.

Reporting and Monitoring Installation Data

Monitoring the site requires connecting the inverter to the  monitoring platform, using 

any of the wired or wireless options available from SolarEdge. Refer to 

Setting Up 

Communication to the Monitoring Platform on page 39.

The  Monitoring Platform

The monitoring platform provides enhanced PV performance monitoring and yield 

assurance through immediate fault detection and alerts at the module, string and 

system level.
