Chapter 1

Int

roducing the SolarEdge Power

Harvesting System

What is the SolarEdge Power

Harvesting Solution?

The SolarEdge power harvesting solution maximizes the power output from any

type of solar PV installation while reducing the average cost per watt. The

sections below describe each of the system’s components.

SolarEdge Power Optimizer

SolarEdge power optimizers can be connected to existing PV modules in order to

maximize power harvesting by locally performing Maximum Power Point

Tracking (MPPT) at the PV module level.

The power optimizers keep the string voltage fixed, regardless of the length of the

string and of the environmental conditions. Each SolarEdge power optimizer

directly transmits performance data from every PV module over the power line.

Three types of power optimizers are provided by SolarEdge, as follows:

 Module add-on solutions, connected during installation to one or more PV

module. P/N: OP250-LV, OP300-MV, OP400-MV, OP480-IV, PB250-AOB

and PB350-AOB.

 Module Embedded Solution (CSI), is supplied embedded into a PV

module.

Introducing the SolarEdge Power Harvesting System

SolarEdge Installation Guide – MAN-01-00002-1.6

You may refer to the SolarEdge power optimizer datasheets in order to determine

which power optimizer is most suitable for you requirements.

Figure 1: Add-On Box Solution

Single Phase Inverter

The Single Phase Inverter efficiently converts DC power received from the PV

modules into AC power that can be fed into the main circuit board of the site and

from there to the grid. The inverter also receives the monitoring data from each

power optimizer and transmits it to a central server (called the Monitoring Server)

through an Ethernet network to an external modem connection.

Installing the Power Optimizers

Applicable Notes and Warnings

The following notes and warnings apply when installing the SolarEdge power

optimizers:

WARNING:

Before performing these steps, turn OFF the Single Phase Inverter by turning off the

ON/OFF switch at the bottom of the inverter. All inverters in an installation site must

be switched OFF in this manner.

Avant de faire ces étapes, éteignez l'onduleur mon

ophasé en mettant sur OFF

l'interrupteur ON/OFF situé au bas de l'onduleur. Tous les onduleurs sur un site

d'installation doivent être etteints de la même manière.

CAUTION:

If installing directly on the module or module frame, first consult the module

manufacturer for guidance regarding location and the impact on the module

warranty.

Pour installation à m

ême le module ou la monture du module, consultez d'abord le

fabricant du module sur la position et son impact sur la garantie du module.

CAUTION:

Unused connectors must be sealed with appropriate plugs (not provided). Leaving

connectors

exposed may be unsafe or create funcional problems in the installation

and will

void the warranty.

Les connecteurs non

-utilisés doivent être scellés avec des bouchons (non-fournis).

Laisser des connecteurs exposés peut

être dangereux ou peut créer des probl

èmes

fonctionels lors de l’installation et par cons

équent ne seront pas couvert par la

guarantie.

Installing the Power Optimizers

SolarEdge Installation Guide – MAN-01-00002-1.6

16

CAUTION:

SolarEdge power optimizers and inverters use

connectors from the following

manufacturers:



Multi Contact MC4



Amphenol H4



Tyco keyed connector



Huber Suhner Raddox

Installing a SolarEdge system without ensuring compatibility of the module

connectors with the optimizer connectors may be unsafe and coul

d cause

functionality problems such as ground faults, resulting in inverter shut down.

In order to ensure mechanical compatibility of the SolarEdge optimizers and the

modules 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 connector manufacturer should explicitly verify compatibility with the

SolarEdge 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.

Les optimiseurs de puissance et onduleurs SolarEdge utilisent des connecteurs des

fabricants suivants:



Multi Contact MC4



Amphenol H4



Tyco connecteur clé



Huber suhner Raddox

Les connecteurs du module doivent être mécaniquement compatibles avec les

optimiseurs de puissance. Sinon, le système SolarEdge installé peut être

dangereux ou causer des problèmes fonctionnels, tels que les défauts de terre, qui

peuvent provoquer un arręt

de l’onduleur.

Afin d'assurer la compatibilité mécanique entre les optimiseurs de puissance

SolarEdge et les modules auxquels ils sont connectés, il faut

:



Utiliser des connecteurs identiques du même fabricant et du même type aussi

bien pour les optimiseurs de puissance que pour les modules.



Vérifiez que les connecteurs sont compatibles de la manière suivante:

▪ Le fabricant du connecteur doit explicitement vérifier la compatibilité

avec le connecteur SolarEdge.

▪ Un rapport de test de tierce partie doit être effectué par l’un des

laboratoires externes indiqués ci-dessous:(TUV, VDE, Bureau Veritas UL,

CSA, Intertek), qui vérifiera la compatibilité des connecteurs.

Installing the Power Optimizers

SolarEdge Installation Guide – MAN-01-00002-1.6

17

NOTE:

The power optimizer is waterproof

when the input and output cable connectors are

mated

, and has no need for shelter. Do NOT leave the optimizer exposed to water

unless the connectors are mated.

The power optimizer can be placed in any

orientation, meaning there is no up side.

NOTE:

The power optimizer should be mounted in a location that is either ventilated or that

has a free space of air around it for heat dissipation.

NOTE

:

Mounting brackets are suited to either a flat surface or a pole and can be

attached

to any surface texture.

I

MPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE:

As long as the power optimizers are unconnected to the inverter and the inverter is

OFF, the power optimizers will output a safe 1V voltage during installation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

SolarEdge

power optimizers are energized by the PV modules to which they are

connected. String length must not be less than eight power optimizers or the entire

string may shut down. (Please refer to the power optimizer datasheets for the exact

minimum and maximum number of power optimizers permitted in a string.)

NOTE:

Completely shaded PV modules may cause the affected power optimizers to

temporarily shut down. This will not affect the performance of the other power

optimizers in the string, as long as the minimum string length requirement is met

when taking into accoun

t the lighted panels only. If under typical conditions fewer

than eight modules will remain unshaded, add more PV modules.

Installing the Power Optimizers

SolarEdge Installation Guide – MAN-01-00002-1.6

18

Step 1, Mounting the Power

Optimizers

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Be sure to record

power optimizer serial numbers and locations during their

installation, as this information may be required later for troubleshooting

, and is

necessary for proper physical layout on the monitoring website.

 Determine the mounting location of each power optimizer. The power

optimizer should be mounted in a place where it can be mounted securely

using both mounting holes. It must also be located near enough so that the

power optimizer can connect to a single PV module (for the OP250-LV,

OP300-MV, OP400-MV, PB250-AOB and PB350-AOB models). Mark all

mounting hole locations.

 Each power optimizer must be attached to the rack using both mounting holes.

 Drill the holes.

CAUTION:

Do not drill through the power optimizer or through the mounting holes. The

vibrations created by the drill can damage the power optimizer

and will void

the warranty.

Ne pas percer à travers la optimiseur de puissance

ou ses trous de fixation.

Les vibrations qui en résulteraient peuvent endommager la optimiseur de

puissance.

 Mount one power optimizer at each location using 5/16” screws and washers.

 Verify that the power optimizer is securely attached.

Installing the Power Optimizers

SolarEdge Installation Guide – MAN-01-00002-1.6

19

WARNING!

The metallic enclosure of the

power optimizer must have equipment

grounding. Perform the following in order to properly ground the

power

optimizer

enclosure. Grounding of the power optimizer can be performed in

either of two ways:

L'enceinte metallique de la optimiseur de puissance doit

ê

tre mise à la terre.

Suivre la procédure suivante afin de mettre l'enceinte de la optimiseur de

puissance à la terre convenablement. La mise à la te

rre de la optimiseur de

puissance peut s'accomplir par l'une des deux méthodes suivantes:



For mounting the power optimizer on a grounded rail, use the provided

5/16'' stainless steel star washer between the railing and the flat side of

the mounting

bracket. The star washer should break through the anodize

coating of the railing to ensure low-resistive connection.

Pour le montage de l'optimiseur de puissance sur rail mis à la terre,

utilisez la rondelle étoile en acier inoxydable 5/16'' fournie,

entre le rail et

le côté de la bretelle de montage non recouverte. La rondelle étoile doit

traverser le revêtement anodisé du rail pour assurer une adhésion à

basse résistivité.



For mounting the power optimizer on an un-grounded structure (such as

a wooden structure), connect an equipment grounding conductor to the

grounding terminal. The grounding terminal will accept a wire size of

6-14 AWG, and must be sized for equipment per NEC 250.122.

Pour le montage de l'optimiseur de puissance sur un

e structure non mise

à la terre (comme une structure en bois), connectez un conducteur de

mise à la terre à la borne de mise à la terre. La borne de mise à la terre

accepte une taille de fil de 6-14 AWG, et doit être dimensionné pour

équipement conforme au NEC 250.122.

SolarEdge Installation Guide – MAN-01-00002-1.6

20

Step 2, Connecting Each PV Module

to a Power Optimizer

WARNING!

Before performing this step, turn OFF the Single Phase Inverter by turning off

the ON/OFF switch at the bottom of the inverter and the DC switch of the main

circuit

board. All inverters in an installation site should be switched OFF in this

manner. This step is required to verify that the power optimizers will output a

safe 1V voltage during installation.

Avant d'effectuer cette étape, éteignez l'onduleur monophasé av

ec le

sectionneur ON/OFF en bas de l'o

nduleur et avec le sectionneur CA/CC. Tous

les onduleurs d'une installation doivent être éteints de cette manière. Cette

étape est requise pour vérifier que les optimiseurs de puissance produisent une

tension de sécurité de 1V pendant l'installation.

OP250-LV, OP300-MV and OP400-MV

These power optimizers connect to a single PV module via its two inputs (a plus

and a minus).
