14 Chapter 1: Overview Chapter 1: Overview The single phase Energy Hub inverter with prism technology is SolarEdge's all-in-one solution that uses a single phase DC optimized inverter to manage and monitor solar power generation, energy storage, EV charging and smart energy devices. When installed with a battery and the Backup Interface, homeowners are automatically provided with backup power in the event of grid interruption to power home loads.
Chapter 1: Overview 15 Energy Meter - is used by the inverter for export, import, production and consumption readings, and for Smart Energy Management applications, such as: export limitation, time-of-use profile programming and maximizing selfconsumption. Auto-transformer - handles the phase load balancing. 200A microgrid interconnection device - disconnects the house loads from the grid in case of a power outage.
16 Installation Equipment List NOTE Additional SolarEdge inverters can be connected over RS485. The inverters will participate in export limitation, Smart Energy Management and backup operation. PV modules connected to power optimizers are not mandatory for charge/ discharge profile programming. Installation Equipment List Standard tools can be used during the installation of the SolarEdge system.
Chapter 1: Overview 17 Inverter Transport and Storage Transport the inverter in its original packaging, facing up and without exposing it to unnecessary shocks. If the original package is no longer available, use a similar box that can withstand the weight of the inverter (refer to the inverter weight in the specification datasheet provided with the unit), has a handle system and can be closed fully. Store the inverter in a dry place where ambient temperatures are -13°F to 140°F / -25°C to +60°C.
18 Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizers Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizers Safety WARNING! The metallic enclosure of the Power Optimizer must be grounded in accordance with the product's listing and local and national codes. AVERTISSEMENT! L'enceinte métallique de l’optimiseur de puissance doit être mise à la terre en accord avec les régulations locales et nationales.
Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizers 19 ATTENTION! Tous les modules doivent être connectés à un optimiseur de puissance. CAUTION! If you intend to mount the Power Optimizers directly to the panel or panel frame, first consult the panel manufacturer for guidance regarding the mounting location and the impact, if any, on panel warranty. Drilling holes in the panel frame should be done according to the panel manufacturer instructions.
20 Package Contents ATTENTION! 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 arrêt de l’onduleur.
Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizers 21 Installation Guidelines For the minimum and maximum number of Power Optimizers in a PV string (PV string length), see the Power Optimizer datasheets. Refer to the Designer for PV string length verification. The Designer is available on the SolarEdge website at: https://www.solaredge.com/us/products/installer-tools/designer#/.
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.
Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizers 23 Step 1: Mounting and Grounding the Power Optimizers (1) For each of the Power Optimizers : 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.
24 Step 1: Mounting and Grounding the Power Optimizers (1) 4. Use the following methods to ground the Power Optimizer: WARNING! The metallic enclosure of the Power Optimizer must be grounded in accordance with the requirements of the local and national codes. AVERTISSEMENT! L'enceinte métallique de l’optimiseur de puissance doit être mise à la terre en accord avec les régulations locales et nationales.
Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizers 25 For mounting on rails with sliding nut fasteners: If the star washer cannot be used, use the SolarEdge grounding plate (purchased separately) between the railing and the flat side of the mounting bracket. Use mounting specific hardware as needed. Apply a torque of 9.5 N*m / 7 lb*ft. See Figure 2.
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.
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.
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.

Chapter 6: Activating, Commissioning and Configuring the System 51 Chapter 6: Activating, Commissioning and Configuring the System After the solar system is installed, it is important to activate and commission the solar system. Activation and commission of the system is performed using the inverter SetApp mobile application.
52 Step 2: Commissioning and Configuring the Installation If applicable, turn on all devices (battery, Energy Meter, Backup Interface) connected to the inverter, so that the devices may be auto-detected. To activate the inverter: 1. Turn-on the AC circuit breaker on the main distribution panel. 2. Turn-on the DC Disconnect Switch (if applicable). 3. Open SetApp and follow the on-screen instructions (scan the inverter barcode; move the ON/OFF/P switch to P position for 2 seconds and release).
Chapter 6: Activating, Commissioning and Configuring the System 53 Setting Country, Grid and Language The inverter must be configured to the proper settings in order to ensure that it complies with the country grid code and functions. Unless these settings are selected, the inverter will not start production. 1. From the Commissioning screen, select Country & Grid. 2. From the Country & Grid drop-down list, select the required option and tap Set Country & Grid. 3.
54 Step 3: Verifying Proper Activation and Commissioning Communication Communication settings can be configured only after communication connections are complete. Refer to Setting Up Communication with the Monitoring Platform on page 61. Select Monitoring Communication to configure communication with the monitoring platform. Select Site Communication to configure communication between multiple SolarEdge devices or external non-SolarEdge devices, such as batteries or loggers.
Chapter 6: Activating, Commissioning and Configuring the System 55 Configuring Communication with Other Devices If the above devices have not been auto-detected during system activation, configure them as explained below.
