10 Chapter 1: Intrducing the SlarEdge Pwer Harvesting System Chapter 1: Intrducing the SlarEdge Pwer Harvesting System The SlarEdge pwer harvesting slutin is designed t maximize the pwer utput frm any type f slar Phtvltaic (PV) installatin while reducing the average cst per watt. The fllwing sectins describe each f the system s cmpnents. Figure 1: The SlarEdge pwer harvesting system cmpnents SlarEdge Pwer Optimizer The SlarEdge pwer ptimizers are DC-DC cnverters cnnected t PV mdules in rder t maximize pwer harvesting by perfrming independent Maximum Pwer Pint Tracking (MPPT) at the mdule level. The pwer ptimizers regulate the string vltage at a cnstant level, regardless f string length and envirnmental cnditins. The pwer ptimizers include a safety vltage functin that autmatically reduces the utput f each pwer ptimizer t 1 Vdc in the fllwing cases: During fault cnditins The pwer ptimizers are discnnected frm the inverter The inverter ON/OFF switch is turned OFF The safety switch n the Cnnectin Unit is turned OFF The inverter AC breaker is turned OFF Each pwer ptimizer als transmits mdule perfrmance data ver the DC pwer line t the inverter. Tw types f pwer ptimizers are available: Mdule Add-n pwer ptimizer cnnected t ne r mre mdules Smart mdules - the pwer ptimizer is embedded int a mdule 9

11 Extended Pwer Cmmercial Inverter Extended Pwer Cmmercial Inverter The extended pwer cmmercial inverter (referred t as 'inverter' in this manual ) efficiently cnverts DC pwer frm the mdules int AC pwer that can be fed int the main AC service f the site and frm there t the grid. The inverter als receives the mnitring data frm each pwer ptimizer and transmits it t the SlarEdge mnitring platfrm (requires Internet r Cellular cnnectin). The inverter is cmprised f ne Primary Unit with an integrated Cnnectin Unit with a DC Safety Switch (referred t as 'Cnnectin Unit ' in this manual) fr discnnecting the DC pwer f a SlarEdge system, and f ne r tw Secndary Units, depending n the inverter's capacity. The Secndary Unit(s) are cnnected t the primary unit with AC, DC and cmmunicatin cables. Each unit perates independently and cntinues t wrk in case the thers are nt perating. Yu can set up a master- slave cnfiguratin, cnnecting up t 31 additinal inverters t ne master inverter. Figure 2: Primary Unit with tw Secndary Units 10

14 Chapter 2: Installing the Pwer Optimizers Safety The fllwing ntes and warnings apply when installing the SlarEdge pwer ptimizers. Sme f the fllwing may nt be applicable t smart mdules: WARNING! When mdifying an existing installatin, turn OFF the inverter ON/OFF switch, the Cnnectin Unit and the AC circuit breaker n the main AC distributin panel. WARNING! Input and utput cnnectrs are nt watertight until mated. Open cnnectrs shuld be mated t each ther r plugged with apprpriate watertight caps. CAUTION! Pwer ptimizers are IP68/NEMA6P rated. Chse a munting lcatin where ptimizers will nt be submerged in water. CAUTION! Chapter 2: Installing the Pwer Optimizers This unit must be perated accrding t the perating specificatins prvided with the unit. CAUTION! Cutting the pwer ptimizer input r utput cable cnnectr is prhibited and will vid the warranty. CAUTION! All PV mdules must be cnnected t a pwer ptimizer. CAUTION! If yu intend t munt the ptimizers directly t the mdule r mdule frame, first cnsult the mdule manufacturer fr guidance regarding the munting lcatin and the impact, if any, n mdule warranty. Drilling hles in the mdule frame shuld be dne accrding t the mdule manufacturer instructins. CAUTION! Installing a SlarEdge system withut ensuring cmpatibility f the mdule cnnectrs with the ptimizer cnnectrs may be unsafe and culd cause functinality prblems such as grund faults, resulting in inverter shut dwn. T ensure mechanical cmpatibility f the SlarEdge ptimizers cnnectrs with the PV mdules cnnectrs t which they are cnnected, use identical cnnectrs frm the same manufacturer and f the same type n bth the pwer ptimizers and n the PV mdules. IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE Mdules with SlarEdge pwer ptimizers are safe. They carry nly a lw safety vltage befre the inverter is turned ON. As lng as the pwer ptimizers are nt cnnected t the inverter r the inverter is turned OFF, each pwer ptimizer will utput a safe vltage f 1V. Installatin Guidelines Frame-munted pwer ptimizers are munted directly n the mdule frame, regardless f racking system (rail-less r with rails). Fr installatin f frame-munted pwer ptimizers, refer t frame_munted_pwer_ptimizers.pdf. 13

15 Step 1: Munting the Pwer Optimizers The steps in this chapter refer t mdule add-n pwer ptimizers. Fr smart mdules, start frm Step 3: Cnnecting Pwer Optimizers in Strings n page 15. Als refer t the dcumentatin supplied with the smart mdules. The pwer ptimizer can be placed in any rientatin. If cnnecting mre mdules than ptimizer inputs in parallel, use a branch cable (available frm SlarEdge). Sme cmmercial pwer ptimizer mdels have a dual input. Psitin the pwer ptimizer clse enugh t its mdule s that their cables can be cnnected. Make sure t use pwer ptimizers that have the required utput cnductr length: Minimize the use f extensins between pwer ptimizers, and use nly if cnnectin between ptimizers in different rws r arrays is required. D nt use extensin cables between the mdules and the pwer ptimizers. The minimum and maximum string length guidelines are stated in the pwer ptimizer datasheets. Refer t the SlarEdge Site Designer fr string length verificatin. The SlarEdge Site Designer is available n the SlarEdge website at Cmpletely shaded mdules may cause their pwer ptimizers t temprarily shut dwn. This will nt affect the perfrmance f the ther pwer ptimizers in the string, as lng as the minimum number f unshaded pwer ptimizers cnnected in a string f mdules is met. If under typical cnditins fewer than the minimum ptimizers are cnnected t unshaded mdules, add mre ptimizers t the string. T allw fr heat dissipatin, maintain a 2.5 cm / 1" clearance distance between the pwer ptimizer and ther surfaces, n all sides except the munting bracket side. NOTE Figure 3: Pwer ptimizer clearance The images cntained herein are fr illustrative purpses nly and may vary depending n prduct mdels. Step 1: Munting the Pwer Optimizers Fr each f the pwer ptimizers1: 1. Determine the pwer ptimizer munting lcatin and use the pwer ptimizer munting brackets t attach the pwer ptimizer t the supprt structure.

16 Chapter 2: Installing the Pwer Optimizers 2. If required, mark the munting hle lcatins and drill the hle. CAUTION! D nt drill thrugh the pwer ptimizer r thrugh the munting hles. The drilling vibratins can damage the pwer ptimizer and will vid the warranty. 3. Attach each pwer ptimizer t the rack using M6 (1/4'') stainless steel blts, nuts and washers r ther apprpriate munting hardware. Apply trque f 9.5 N*m / 7 lb*ft. 4. Verify that each pwer ptimizer is securely attached t the mdule supprt structure. 5. Recrd pwer ptimizer serial numbers and lcatins, as described in Reprting and Mnitring Installatin Data n page 44 Step 2: Cnnecting a PV Mdule t a Pwer Optimizer NOTE Images are fr illustratin purpses nly. Refer t the label n the prduct t identify the plus and minus input and utput cnnectrs. Fr each f the pwer ptimizers: Cnnect the Plus (+) utput cnnectr f the mdule t the Plus (+) input cnnectr f the pwer ptimizer. Cnnect the Minus (-) utput cnnectr f the mdule t the Minus (-) input cnnectr f the pwer ptimizer. Figure 4: Pwer ptimizer cnnectrs Step 3: Cnnecting Pwer Optimizers in Strings Yu can cnstruct parallel strings f unequal length, that is, the number f pwer ptimizers in each string des nt have t be the same. The minimum and maximum string lengths are specified in the pwer ptimizer datasheets. Refer t the SlarEdge Site Designer fr string length verificatin. NOTE Use at least 11 AWG/ 4 mm² DC cables. The ttal cnductr length f the string (excluding pwer ptimizers cnductrs; including hme runs and necessary extensins between ptimizers) shuld nt exceed: 2300 ft./ 700 m frm DC+ t DC- f the inverter 15

17 Step 3: Cnnecting Pwer Optimizers in Strings NOTE The DC bus f each unit is separate and nt shared fr all units. Therefre in additin t fllwing the inverter design rules, each unit shuld fllw the unit design rules as detailed in Technical Specificatins n page 1 1. Cnnect the Minus (-) utput cnnectr f the string s first pwer ptimizer t the Plus (+) utput cnnectr f the string s secnd pwer ptimizer. 2. Cnnect the rest f the pwer ptimizers in the string in the same manner. Figure 5: Pwer ptimizers cnnected in series 3. If yu intend t mnitr the installatin, using the SlarEdge mnitring platfrm, recrd the physical lcatin f each pwer ptimizer, as described in Prviding Installatin Infrmatin n page 45. WARNING! Input and utput cnnectrs are nt watertight until mated. Open cnnectrs shuld be mated t each ther r plugged with apprpriate watertight caps. 16

18 Step 4: Verifying Prper Pwer Optimizer Cnnectin Chapter 2: Installing the Pwer Optimizers When a mdule is cnnected t a pwer ptimizer, the pwer ptimizer utputs a safe vltage f 1V. Therefre, the ttal string vltage shuld equal 1V times the number f pwer ptimizers cnnected in series in the string. Fr example, if 10 pwer ptimizers are cnnected in a string, then 10V shuld be prduced. Make sure the PV mdules are expsed t sunlight during this prcess. The pwer ptimizer will nly turn ON if the PV mdule prvides at least 2W. In SlarEdge systems, due t the intrductin f pwer ptimizers between the PV mdules and the inverter, the shrt circuit current I SC and the pen circuit vltage V OC hld different meanings frm thse in traditinal systems. Fr mre infrmatin abut the SlarEdge system s string vltage and current, refer t the V OC and I SC in SlarEdge Systems Technical Nte, available n the SlarEdge website at: nte.pdf. T verify prper pwer ptimizers cnnectin: Measure the vltage f each string individually befre cnnecting it t the ther strings r t the inverter. Verify crrect plarity by measuring the string plarity with a vltmeter. Use a vltmeter with at least 0.1V measurement accuracy. NOTE Since the inverter is nt yet perating, yu may measure the string vltage and verify crrect plarity n the DC wires inside the Cnnectin Unit.

34 Selecting a Residual Current Device (RCD) IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE All SlarEdge inverters incrprate a certified internal Residual Current Device (RCD) in rder t prtect against pssible electrcutin and fire hazard in case f a malfunctin in the PV array, cables r inverter. There are 2 trip threshlds fr the RCD as required fr certificatin (DIN VDE ). The default value fr electrcutin prtectin is 30 ma per unit, and fr slw rising current is 300 ma per unit. If an external RCD is required by lcal regulatins, check which type f RCD is required fr the relevant electric cde. Install the residual-current device (RCD) in accrdance with the applicable lcal standards and directives. SlarEdge recmmends using a type A RCD. When required by lcal regulatins, the use f an RCD type B is permitted. Use at least 600mA RCD fr a 2 unit inverter and at least 900mA RCD fr a 3 unit inverter. NOTE Fr multiple inverters, an RCD per inverter is required.

75 Appendix C: SafeDC Appendix C: SafeDC When AC supply t the inverter is shut ff (by shutting ff the AC breaker at the site), r when the inverter ON/OFF/P switch is turned t OFF, the DC vltage drps t a safe vltage f 1V per ptimizer. The SlarEdge inverters are certified fr cmpliance with the fllwing standards as discnnectin devices fr PV generatrs, meaning that they can replace a DC discnnect: IEC : Crrigendum: A1: Crrigendum 1: A2:2005; DIN EN VDE : IEC : DIN VDE : In cmpliance with these standards, the discnnectin mechanism perates as fllws: 1. Turn the inverter ON/OFF/P switch, lcated at the bttm f the inverter, t OFF, r discnnect the AC by shutting ff the AC breaker at the site. The DC vltage displayed n the inverter LCD begins t decrease. If the AC breaker was shut ff, the LCD des nt display. In this case, wait five minutes. 2. When the DC vltage reaches a safe vltage, the PV cnnectrs at the input t the inverter can be discnnected. A galvanic separatin then exists between the PV array and the inverter. WARNING! SafeDC cmplies with IEC when installing the system with a wrst case SafeDC vltage (under fault cnditins) < 120V. The wrst case vltage is defined as: Vc,max+ (String Length-1)*1V,where: Vc,max = Maximum Vc (at lwest temperature) f the PV mdule in the string (fr a string with multiple mdule mdels, use the max value) String Length = number f pwer ptimizers in the string 74
