Post Installation Verification and Configuration
Follow the checklist below to verify that the system is properly connected and configured. The checklist is suitable for a backup system with a single StorEdge Inverter, a single battery, an
Auto-transformer and a single SolarEdge Electricity Meter installed at the grid connection point. For other system configurations, follow the steps in the StorEdge Installation Guide supplied
with the StorEdge Inverter.

Installation and Wiring
1.1
Verify that the distance between components complies with the distances detailed in the supplied installation guide.
1.2
Take a photograph of the battery connection area and send to SolarEdge support (useful for future debugging if necessary.)
1.3
Take a photograph of the connection area of the StorEdge Inverter and send it to SolarEdge support.
1.4
Take a photograph of the installation and send to SolarEdge support.
1.5
Verify that the battery splash cover is closed.
1.6
Verify that the backed-up loads panel is wired (relevant for backup systems only).
1.7
Verify that the Auto-transformer’s AC and temperature sensor wires are connected as above in Figure 5.
1.8
Verify that the Inverter’s DIP switches are configured to connect to the Auto-transformer, as shown above in Figure 2 (for boards with two DIP switches), and
Figure 3 (for boards with three DIP switches).
1.9
Verify that all DC, communication and AC cabling connections are completed as follows:
1.9.1
Check AC wiring and circuit breaker.
1.9.2
Check string DC input voltage. Expect 1V per optimizer in the string.
1.9.3
Verify that grounding is properly connected in the battery and inverter.
1.9.4
Check DC wiring to the battery (see Table 1). Check the connections and verify that all are securely connected.
1.9.5
Check connections to the battery and the DIP switch setup as described earlier in this document.
1.9.6
Check connections to the meter. If no meter is connected, the inverter’s RS485 bus must be terminated using the DIP switches on the inverter’s
communication board (see page 7).
1.9.7
Check that a 9V battery is installed in the StorEdge Inverter.
1.9.8
Check connection to the Internet with one of the following options: Cellular, Ethernet, ZigBee Module. The connection status displayed should be S_OK.
Note: For inverters with a built-in cellular communication option, Ethernet or ZigBee Module can be used as an alternative if the cellular service does
not meet operational requirements.
