The Designer is available on the SolarEdge website at: https://www.solaredge.com/us/products/installer-tools/designer#/.
Do not use extension cables between a panel and a Power Optimizer, between two panels connected to the same Power Optimizer, or between two Power Optimizers other than in the following cases: Between a Power Optimizer and a panel:
Extension cables of up to 6 ft / 1.8 m are allowed for all Power Optimizers (3 ft / 0.9 m for DC+, and 3 ft / 0.9 m for DC -). S-Series Power Optimizers with the 1-type suffix in their part number (Sxxx1xxxxxx or Sxxxx-1xxxxxx) - extension cables of up to 52 ft / 16 m can be installed per Power Optimizer (26 ft / 8 m for DC+, and 26 ft / 8 m for DC-).
P-Series Power Optimizers with the 4-type suffix in their part number (Pxxx4xxxxxx) and the Mxxxx-Series - extension cables of up to 52 ft / 16 m can be installed per Power Optimizer (26 ft / 8 m for DC+, and 26 ft / 8 m for DC-). Between two Power Optimizers or between a Power Optimizer and the inverter: Extension cables can be installed between Power Optimizers only from row to row, around obstacles or pathways within a row and from the end of the PV string to the inverter. The total length of the extension cables may not exceed the following values:

Single Phase Inverters All - 1000 ft / 300 m

Three Phase Inverters SE17K and below - 300 m SE17.5K and above - 700 m SE9KUS, SE20KUS - 300 m / 1000 ft SE14.4KUS, SE17.3KUS, SE33.3KUS, SE40KUS -700 m / 2300 ft

The same rules apply for Synergy units of equivalent power ratings, that are part of the modular Synergy technology inverter.
For connecting homerun DC cables from Power Optimizers to the inverter, use cables with the following cross-sections:

Single Phase Energy Hub Inverter with Prism Technology MAN-01-00842-1.4

22 Installation Guidelines
For MC4 connectors: 8-14 AWG/2.5-10 mm² For DC terminal blocks inside the inverter or Connection Unit (if applicable): 6-14 AWG/2.5-16 mm² Frame-mounted Power Optimizers are mounted directly on the panel frame, regardless of racking system (rail-less or with rails). For installation of framemounted Power Optimizers, refer to http://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/installing_frame_mounted_power_ optimizers.pdf. The Power Optimizer can be placed in any orientation. Position the Power Optimizer close enough to its panel so that their cables can be connected. Make sure to use Power Optimizers that have the required output and input conductor length. Completely shaded panels may cause their Power Optimizers to temporarily shut down. This will not affect the performance of the other Power Optimizers in the PV string, as long as the minimum number of unshaded Power Optimizers connected in a PV string of panels is met. If under typical conditions fewer than the minimum Power Optimizers are connected to unshaded panels, add more Power Optimizers to the PV string. To allow for heat dissipation, maintain the following clearance:
Equipment grounding tightening torques: 4-6 AWG: 45 lb-in, 8 AWG: 40 lb-in, 10-14 AWG: 35 lb-in. When installing PV panels in a confined space such as Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) panels, ventilation measures may be required to ensure that the Power Optimizers are not exceeding the maximum temperatures stated in their specifications.
Single Phase Energy Hub Inverter with Prism Technology MAN-01-00842-1.4

Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizers 23
Step 1: Mounting and Grounding the Power Optimizers
For each of the Power Optimizers(1): 1. Determine the Power Optimizer mounting location and use the Power
Optimizer mounting brackets to attach the Power Optimizer to the support structure (See Figure 1). It is recommended to mount the Power Optimizer in a location protected from direct sunlight. For frame-mounted Power Optimizers follow the instructions supplied with the optimizers, or refer to https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/installing_frame_mounted_power_ optimizers.pdf. 2. If required, mark the mounting hole locations and drill holes.
CAUTION! Drilling vibrations may damage the Power Optimizer and will void the warranty. Use a torque wrench or an electric drill with adjustable clutch that meets the mounting torque requirements. Do not use impact drivers for mounting the Power Optimizer. Do not drill through the Power Optimizer or through the mounting holes. ATTENTION! Les vibrations résultant du perçage peuvent endommager l'optimiseur de puissance et annulera la garantie. Utilisez une clé dynamométrique ou une perceuse électrique avec embrayage adaptable compatible avec les moments indiqués. Ne pas utiliser des tournevis à percussion pour fixer l'optimiseur. Ne pas percer à travers l'optimiseur de puissance ou ses trous de fixation. 3. Attach each Power Optimizer to the rack using M6 (1/4'')or M8 stainless steel bolts, nuts and washers or other mounting hardware. Apply torque of 6.5-7 lb*ft/9-10 N*m. For 3NA series power optimizes, SolarEdge recommends mounting the Power Optimizer on a rail with the smooth side facing out, so that the Power Optimizer body will prevent its rotation.

26 Step 2: Connecting a PV panel to a Power Optimizer 5. Verify that each Power Optimizer is securely attached to the panel support structure.
6. Record Power Optimizer serial numbers and locations, as described in Reporting and Monitoring Installation Data on page 58.
Step 2: Connecting a PV panel to a Power Optimizer
NOTE Improper wiring may cause electrical faults in a PV system. To avoid electrical faults, verify proper locking of connectors and avoid cable tension and friction. Proper planning, materials and installation reduce the risk of electric arcs, short-circuits and ground faults in the PV system. NOTE Images are for illustration purposes only. Refer to the label on the product to identify the plus and minus input and output connectors. For each of the Power Optimizers: Connect the Plus (+) output connector of the panel to the Plus (+) input connector of the Power Optimizer. Connect the Minus (-) output connector of the panel to the Minus (-) input connector of the Power Optimizer.
Figure 4: S-Series (left) and P-Series (right) Power Optimizer connectors
Single Phase Energy Hub Inverter with Prism Technology MAN-01-00842-1.4

Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizers 27
Step 3: Connecting Power Optimizers in Strings
You can construct parallel strings of unequal length, that is, the number of power optimizers in each string does not have to be the same. The minimum and maximum string lengths are specified in the power optimizer datasheets. Refer to the Designer for string length verification. 1. Connect the Minus (-) output connector of the string's first power optimizer to the
Plus (+) output connector of the string's second power optimizer. When connecting S-Series Power Optimizers, be sure to connect the short Minus (-) output connector of one Power Optimizer to the long Plus (+) output connector of the next Power Optimizer. 2. To minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), make sure to minimize the distance between the positive and negative DC cables.
For detailed instructions, see: https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/se-emiperformance-application-note.pdf.
3. Connect the rest of the power optimizers in the string in the same manner. WARNING! If using a dual-input power optimizer and some inputs are not used, seal the unused input connectors with the supplied pair of seals. AVERTISSEMENT! Si un optimiseur à double entrées est utilisé et que certaines entrées ne sont pas connectées, fermez ces entrées avec la paire de couvercles fournie.
4. If you intend to monitor the installation, using the monitoring platform, record the physical location of each power optimizer, as described in Creating Logical and Physical Layout using Installation Information on page 59
Step 4: Verifying Proper Power Optimizer Connection
When a panel is connected to a Power Optimizer, the Power Optimizer outputs a safe voltage of 1V (±0.1V). Therefore, the total PV string voltage should equal 1V times the number of Power Optimizers connected in series in the PV string. For example, if 10 Power Optimizers are connected in a PV string, then 10V should be produced. Make sure the PV panels are exposed to sunlight during this process. The Power Optimizer will only turn ON if the PV panel provides at least 2W.
Single Phase Energy Hub Inverter with Prism Technology MAN-01-00842-1.4

28 Step 4: Verifying Proper Power Optimizer Connection
In SolarEdge systems, due to the introduction of Power Optimizers between the PV panels and the inverter, the short circuit current ISC and the open circuit voltage VOC hold different meanings from those in traditional systems. For more information about the SolarEdge system's PV string Voltage and current, refer to the VOC and ISC in SolarEdge Systems Technical Note, available on the SolarEdge website at: https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/isc_and_voc_in_solaredge_ sytems_technical_note.pdf
To verify proper Power Optimizer connection: Measure the voltage of each PV string individually before connecting it to the other PV strings or to the inverter. Verify correct polarity by measuring the PV string polarity with a voltmeter. Use a voltmeter with at least 0.1V measurement accuracy.
NOTE Since the inverter is not yet operating, you may measure the PV string Voltage and verify correct polarity on the DC wires inside the Connection Unit. For troubleshooting Power Optimizer operation problems, refer to Power Optimizer Troubleshooting on page 71. Proper Power Optimizer connection can also be verified in the Designer application.

34 Mounting the Inverter
Mounting the Inverter
The inverter is supplied with a mounting bracket kit:
Figure 7: Mounting bracket NOTE Make sure the mounting surface or structure can support the weight of the inverter. CAUTION! SolarEdge inverters and Power Optimizers can be installed at a minimum distance of 50 m / 164 ft from the shoreline of an ocean or other saline environment, as long as there are no direct salt water splashes on the inverter or Power Optimizer. For SolarEdge inverters installed at a distance of 200 m / 655 ft or closer to the shoreline, special brackets purchased separately from SolarEdge and SS304 stainless screws are required. For details, please contact your local sales representative. ATTENTION!
Les onduleurs SolarEdge peuvent être installés à une distance minimum de 50m de la ligne d'eau de l'océan ou autre environnement salin, tant qu'il n'y a pas d'éclaboussements d'eau salée directs sur l'onduleur. Pour les onduleurs SolarEdge installés à une distance de 200 m ou moins du rivage, des supports spéciaux achetés séparément auprès de SolarEdge et des vis inox SS304 sont nécessaires. Pour les détails, veuillez contacter le commercial de votre région. 1. Determine the inverter mounting location, on a wall, stud framing or pole. It is recommended to mount the inverter in a location protected from direct sunlight. 2. To allow proper heat dissipation, maintain the following minimum clearance areas between the inverter and other objects:
Single Phase Energy Hub Inverter with Prism Technology MAN-01-00842-1.4

Chapter 3: Installing the Inverter 35
Figure 8: Clearance areas If installing a single inverter:

Insert the screws at the top of the inverter brackets and fasten the brackets together. 8. Verify that all the brackets are firmly attached to the mounting surface.
Selecting a Residual Current Device (RCD)
IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE All SolarEdge inverters incorporate a certified internal Residual Current Device (RCD) in order to protect against possible electrocution and fire hazard in case of a malfunction in the PV array, cables or inverter. There are two trip thresholds for the RCD as required for certification. The default value for electrocution protection is 30 mA, and for slow rising current is 300 mA.
If an external RCD is required by local regulations, check which type of RCD is required for the relevant electric code. Install the residual-current device (RCD) in accordance with the applicable local standards and directives. SolarEdge recommends using a typeA RCD. The recommended RCD value is 100 mA or 300 mA unless a lower value is required by the specific local electric codes. When required by local regulations, the use of an RCD type B is permitted.
NOTE For multiple inverters, an RCD per inverter is required.
In installations where the local electric code requires an RCD with a lower leakage setting, the discharge current might result in nuisance tripping of the external RCD. The following steps are recommended to avoid nuisance tripping of the external RCD:
Select the appropriate RCD for correct operation of the installation: An RCD with a rating of 30 mA may actually trip at a leakage as low as 15 mA (according to IEC 61008). High quality RCDs will typically trip at a value closer to their rating. Configure the trip voltage of the inverter's internal RCD to a lower value than the trip current of the external RCD. The internal RCD will trip if the current is higher than the allowed current, but because the internal inverter RCD automatically resets when the residual currents are low it saves the manual reset. For detailed information, refer to the RCD Selection for SolarEdge Inverters Application Note, available on the SolarEdge website at http://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/application_note_ground_ fault_rcd.pdf.

Chapter 6: Activating, Commissioning and Configuring the System 57
Backup Power Applications
The produced power is stored in the battery to be used during power outages. When the grid voltage is down, the Backup Interface automatically switches to the Backup mode, disconnecting from the grid, while the Energy Hub inverter supplies power to the backed-up loads. This application requires connection to the Backup Interface and backed-up loads (pre-selected or the entire home). The application can be used in one of two ways:
Backup-only ­ energy stored in the battery is discharged for backup power only, that is, when there is no power from the grid Backup with Smart Energy Management­ use some of the battery energy for backup power, and the rest for maximize self-consumption(MSC) or charge/ discharge profile programming (for time of use arbitrage) applications. The Backup application can be used whether or not PV modules are installed at the site. The backup function is disabled by default and can be enabled for on- grid only application, if backup is not needed. To start using StorEdge applications, you first need to enable the Backup Configuration functionality (disabled by default). If Backup Configuration is disabled, the system will use the battery energy in the following cases: When PV production is not sufficient in MSC When using one of charge/discharge profiles that requires battery discharge However stored energy will not be used to back up the loads in case of power outage.
To enable Backup Configuration: Open SetApp and select Commissioning > Power Control > Energy Manager > Backup Configuration > Backup > Enable. After the Backup Configuration is enabled, the Backup Interface is automatically configured.
To enable a StorEdge application: 1. Select Power Control > Energy Manager > Energy Control. 2. Select one of the following applications:
Backup only - Set the system to supply power to backed-up loads only in case of a power outage. Time of use - Set a charge/discharge profile and the level of charging the battery from AC.

58 Reporting and Monitoring Installation Data
Maximum Self Consumption (MSC) - Set the system to maximize selfconsumption, and then the level of stored energy to be reserved for backup.
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 with the Monitoring Platform on page 61.
The Monitoring Platform
The monitoring platform provides enhanced PV performance monitoring and inverter yield assurance through immediate fault detection and alerts at the panel, PV array and system level. Using the platform, you can:
View the latest performance of specific components. Find under-performing components, such as panels, by comparing their performance to that of other components of the same type. Pinpoint the location of alerted components using the physical layout. The monitoring platform enables accessing site information, including up-to-date information viewed in a physical or logical view: Logical Layout: Shows a schematic tree-layout of the components in the system, such as: inverters, Power Optimizers, PV arrays, panels, meters and sensors, as well as their electrical connectivity. This view enables you to see which panels are connected in each PV array, which PV arrays are connected to each inverter, and so on. Physical Layout: Provides a bird's eye view of the actual placement of panels in the site, and allows pinpoint issues to the exact location of each panel on a virtual site map. If you do not report the mapping of the installed Power Optimizers, the monitoring platform will show the logical layout, indicating which Power Optimizers are connected to which inverter, but will not show PV strings or the physical location of Power Optimizers. The monitoring platform includes a built-in help system that guides you through the monitoring functionality. For more information, refer to https://www.solaredge.com/products/pvmonitoring#/.
