Step 4: Verifying Proper Power Optimizer 
Connection

When a module is connected to a power optimizer, the power optimizer outputs a safe voltage of 1V. 
Therefore, the total string voltage should equal 1V times the number of power optimizers connected in 
series in the string. For example, if 10 power optimizers are connected in a string, then 10V should be 
produced.
Make sure the PV modules are exposed to sunlight during this process. The power optimizer will only  turn 
ON if  the PV module provides at least 2W. 
In SolarEdge systems, due to the introduction of power optimizers between the PV modules and the 
inverter, the short circuit current I

SC

 and the open circuit voltage V

OC

 hold different meanings from 

those in traditional systems. 
For more information about the SolarEdge  system’s string voltage and current, refer to 
the 

V

OC

 and I

SC

 in SolarEdge Systems Technical Note

, available on the SolarEdge website at:  

http://www.solaredge.us/files/pdfs/isc_and_voc_in_solaredge_systems_technical_
note.pdf

. 

To verify proper power optimizers connection:

Measure the voltage of each string individually before connecting it to the other strings or to the inverter. 
Verify correct polarity by measuring the string polarity with a voltmeter. Use a voltmeter with at least 
0.1V measurement accuracy.
 
For troubleshooting power optimizer operation problems, refer to 

Power Optimizer Troubleshooting 

 on 

page 96.
