Installation Instructions
•
This chapter refers only to power optimizers added to the module. For integrated module models, refer to the
installation instructions provided with the integrated module.
•
The power optimizer can be placed in any orientation.
•
Position the power optimizer sufficiently close to its modulus so that their cables can be connected.
•
To allow heat to dissipate, to maintain a free space of 2.5 cm / 1 '' distance between the power optimizer and
other surfaces.
•
The guidelines for minimum and maximum length of the chain are set out in the specifications of the power
optimizer.
•
Refer to the SolarEdge site designer for verification of the chain length. The site designer SolarEdge is
available on the website of the SolarEdge

•
The completely shaded modules can result in temporary cessation of power optimizers. This will not affect the
performance of other power optimizers on the chain, as the minimum number of chain power optimizers connected
to non-shaded modules. If under normal conditions, optimizers connected to non-shaded modules are fewer than
the minimum required, add other optimizers in the string.
•
Do not let the connectors discovered power optimizers. Open connectors must be connected to each other.
Step 1, Mounting the Power Optimizers
1
Determining the power optimizer mounting location and use of media

Determining the power optimizer mounting location and use of media
fixing the power optimizer to fix it to the bearing structure (see Figure 1)

WARNING :
Do not drill through the power optimizer or through the mounting holes. drilling vibrations may damage the power optimizer and void the
warranty.
