Chapter 1: Intrducing the SlarEdge Pwer Harvesting System The SlarEdge pwer harvesting slutin maximizes 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. 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 s ON/OFF switch 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 ptimizers are embedded int a mdule SlarEdge Inverter The SlarEdge inverter 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 a central server (the SlarEdge mnitring platfrm; requires Internet cnnectin). Sme inverters are available with an ptinal DC Safety Unit. The DC Safety Unit is a manually perated switch fr discnnecting the DC pwer f a SlarEdge system. The DC Safety Unit is lcated belw the inverter and is cnnected t the inverter with AC and DC wires.

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 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 IP65/NEMA4 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. In rder t ensure mechanical cmpatibility f the SlarEdge ptimizers and the mdules 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 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 in rail-less racking systems. Munting the pwer ptimizers in advance saves installatin time. Fr installatin f frame-munted pwer ptimizers, refer t http://www.slaredge.cm/sites/default/files/installing_frame_munted_pwer_ ptimizers.pdf. SlarEdge-Installatin Guide MAN-01-00057-3.3 11

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 13. Als refer t the dcumentatin supplied with the smart mdules. The pwer ptimizer can be placed in any rientatin. T allw fr heat dissipatin, maintain a 24.5 mm / 1" clearance distance between the pwer ptimizer and ther surfaces. If cnnecting mre mdules than ptimizer inputs in parallel, use a branch cable (available frm SlarEdge). Psitin the pwer ptimizer clse enugh t its mdule s that their cables can be cnnected. Make sure t use ptimizers that have the required utput cable length. Yu cannt use extensin cables between every tw ptimizers in a string; They may be used nly t cnnect between rws/ arrays r between the string and the inverter. 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 http://www.slaredge.cm/prducts/installer-tls/sitedesigner#/. 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. NOTE The images cntained in the fllwing sectins 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. Fr frame-munted pwer ptimizers fllw the instructins supplied with the ptimizers. 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 the M6 (1/4'') stainless steel blts, nuts and washers. Apply trque f 9.5 N*m / 7 lb*ft. 4. Verify that each pwer ptimizer is securely attached t the supprting structure r the mdule. NOTE Recrd pwer ptimizer serial numbers and lcatins, as described in Prviding Installatin Infrmatin n page 30. 1Nt applicable t smart mdules. 12 SlarEdge Installatin Guide MAN-01-00057-3.3

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 1 : Chapter 2: Installing the Pwer Optimizers 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 1: 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 cable length f the string (excluding pwer ptimizers cables) shuld nt exceed: Fr inverter mdels up t SE25K - 1000ft. /300m frm DC+ t DC- f the inverter Fr inverter mdels SE25K and larger - 2300ft./ 700m frm DC+ t DC- f the inverter 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. SlarEdge-Installatin Guide MAN-01-00057-3.3 13

Step 4: Verifying Prper Pwer Optimizer Cnnectin 2. Cnnect the rest f the pwer ptimizers in the string in the same manner. Figure 2: 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 30. WARNING! Input and utput cnnectrs are nt watertight until mated. Open cnnectrs shuld be mated t each ther r plugged with apprpriate watertight caps. Step 4: Verifying Prper Pwer Optimizer Cnnectin When a mdule is cnnected t a pwer ptimizer, the pwer ptimizer utputs a safe vltage f 1V. Therefre, the ttal string vltage shuld be equal t 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 mdules are expsed t sunlight during this prcess; therwise, the pwer ptimizers may nt be pwered. If yu use a tracker, the pwer ptimizer will turn ON nly if the tracker is tracking the sun and the 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: http://www.slaredge.cm/files/pdfs/isc_and_vc_in_slaredge_systems_technical_ 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.

Check that the wires are fully inserted and cannt be pulled ut easily. 9. Tighten the AC cable gland with a trque f 2.8-3.3 N*m / 2.0-2.4 lb*ft. 10. Verify that there are n uncnnected wires t the inverter and that the unused terminal screws are tightened. Cnnecting the Strings t the Inverter Cnnect the string t the DC input pairs. If required, cnnect additinal strings in parallel using an external cmbiner bx/branch cables befre cnnecting t the inverter. NOTE Chapter 4: Cnnecting the AC and the Strings t the Inverter Functinal electrical earthing f DC-side negative r psitive ples is prhibited because the inverter has n transfrmer. Grunding (earth grund) f mdule frames and munting equipment f the PV array mdules is acceptable. NOTE SlarEdge s fixed input vltage architecture enables the parallel strings t be f different lengths. Therefre, they d nt need t have the same number f pwer ptimizers, as lng as the length f each string is within the permitted range. Cnnect the DC cnnectrs f each string t the DC+ and DC- cnnectrs accrding t the labels n the inverter. Figure 14: Inverter DC Cnnectins 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 0126-1-1). The default value fr electrcutin prtectin is 30 ma, and fr slw rising current is 300 ma. 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. The recmmended RCD value is 100mA r 300mA unless a lwer value is required by the specific lcal electric cdes. Fr extended pwer three phase inverters (SE25K, SE27.6K and SE33.3K) an RCD value f 300mA shuld be used. When required by lcal regulatins, the use f an RCD type B is permitted. NOTE Fr multiple inverters, an RCD per inverter is required. SlarEdge-Installatin Guide MAN-01-00057-3.3 23

Demand Respnse Enabling Device (DRED) In installatins where the lcal electric cde requires an RCD with a lwer leakage setting, the discharge current might result in nuisance tripping f the external RCD. The fllwing steps are recmmended t avid nuisance tripping f the external RCD: Select the apprpriate RCD fr crrect peratin f the installatin: An RCD with a rating f 30mA may actually trip at a leakage as lw as 15mA (accrding t IEC 61008). High quality RCDs will typically trip at a value clser t their rating. Cnfigure the trip vltage f the inverter' internal RCD t a lwer value than the trip current f the external RCD. The internal RCD will trip if the current is higher than the allwed current, but because the internal inverter RCD autmatically resets when the residual currents are lw it saves the manual reset. Fr detailed infrmatin, refer t the RCD Selectin fr SlarEdge Inverters Applicatin Nte, available n the SlarEdge website at http://www.slaredge.cm/sites/default/files/applicatin_nte_grund_fault_rcd.pdf.
