CAUTION!
Installing a SolarEdge system without ensuring compatibility of the module
connectors with the optimizer connectors may be unsafe and could cause
functionality problems such as ground faults, resulting in inverter shut down.
To ensure mechanical compatibility of the SolarEdge optimizers’ connectors
with the PV modules’ connectors to which they are connected:
Use identical connectors from the same manufacturer and of the same
type on both the power optimizers and on the modules; or
Verify that the connectors are compatible in the following way:
The module connector manufacturer should explicitly verify
compatibility with the SolarEdge optimizer connector; and
A third-party test report by one of the listed external labs (TUV,
VDE, Bureau Veritas UL, CSA, InterTek) should be obtained,
verifying the compatibility of the connectors.
Installation Guidelines
Frame-mounted power optimizers are mounted directly on the
module frame , regardless of racking system (rail-less or with
rails). For installation of frame-mounted power optimizers, refer
http://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/installing_frame_mounted_
.
The steps in this chapter refer to module add-on power optimizers. For smart
modules, start from
Step 3: Connecting Power Optimisers in Strings on page
18 . Also refer to the documentation supplied with the smart modules.
The power optimizer can be placed in any orientation.
If connecting more modules than optimizer inputs in parallel, use a branch
cable. Some commercial power optimizer models have a dual input.
Position the power optimizer close enough to its module so that their cables
can be connected.
