Design steps

Determine string length:

Calculate Voc at min. temperature and Vmpp at max. temperate

Using calculated Voc, Vmpp and the inverter input voltage range, calculate min/max string length

Group modules into strings of permitted equal length

Design physical layout, considering shading and facets

Many design constraints that may limit installation area

Limited string length (number of modules)

All strings must match

Same string length

Same orientation (tilt + azimuth)

Same module type

Shading avoidance

Unmatched strings require multiple inverters or MPP trackers

Before turning on the inverter, it needs to be activatedActivation ensures correct firmware, country and language settings.

Remove the activation card from the box

Verify that the serial number on the cardmatches the serial number on the inverter

Insert the activation card into the designated slotlocated on the back of the invertercommunication board

The slot is indicated by a label:

Turn on the AC

The LCD will indicate when activation is taking place and when it is completed

Do not press the inverter buttons during activation

Do not disconnect the AC power

If case the activation fails:

manual activation code is printed on the inverter’s specification label

or available from the SolarEdge support team

In order to assure the latest software version, you can update the inverter byrequesting an update file from the SolarEdge Support

Copy this .bsuf file onto an empty micro SD card

Switch OFF the ON/OFF switch and wait for Vdc to drop below 50V

Switch OFF the inverters AC breaker

Remove the activation card

Insert the micro SD card with the update file.Some inverters require a SD card adaptor

Turn the AC breaker back ON to install the update

Turn the ON/OFF switch back ON to start power production

The most simple and stable communication is achieved, by using direct Ethernet wiring between inverter and router.

When running an ethernet cable is not practical, we recommendusing SolarEdge wireless products (ZigBee, WiFi).

3rd party products (WiFi Extenders, PLC adaptors)may be difficult to configure, can cause connectionlosses and are not supported.

From our past experience PLC adaptors haveproven to be not reliable. They easily loose theirconnection in noisy grid conditions.

Whole string of optimizers not working at full power?

Check on-site all series connections of the string:Cable, connectors, combiner boxes, DC-disconnects,...

A loose connection might allow a small current to flow,but cause arcing at higher irradiances.

This can cause erratic optimizer behavior (string shutdown and restart).Also AFCI errors might occur.

Board Replacement

BoardReplacement_SectionHeader

© SolarEdge307307

In case a component of an inverter fails, there are two options to fix the issue:Option 1: Replace the whole inverter

Option 2: Replace only the faulty component

When contacting SolarEdge support regarding a faulty inverter,you will be instructed if the whole inverter or just a circuit boardneeds to be replaced

Many times replacing only the faulty component is faster and more cost effective.

Just as replacing a whole inverter, replacing a single component requires RMA approval from SolarEdge.

Isolation Test Procedure

IsoTest_SectionHeader

© SolarEdge331331

This procedure describes how to locate and fix isolation problems along the DC path

Isolation faults are detected by the inverters test mechanisms, which causes the inverter to stop power production and display Error 25 (1-ph) or Error 121 (3-ph)

This procedure measures the resistance of the strings, optimizers and modules to GND, allowing the technician to locate and fix isolation faults

Option 1: Using the inverter´s built-in isolation test

Option 2: Using an insulation resistance tester (Megger tester)

Isolation Test

IsoTest_Overview1

© SolarEdge332332

Option 1: Inverter built-in isolation testProcedure:

Note:The following measurements must be done for each string individually.If more than one string is connected, switch OFF the inverter and disconnect all but one string

Switch inverter ON

Wait for the DC voltage to increase

To measure the string resistance,

Press and hold the LCD/OK button

When the screen „Keep holding button for pairing,release to enter menu“ appears, release the button

Short-press to scroll down to „Maintenance“ - Long-press to enter menu

Navigate to „Diagnostics“ -> „Isolation Status“

Built-In Isolation Test

LCD button

IsoTest_BuiltIn1

© SolarEdge333333

The asterisk (*) and the percentage indicate the approximate location of the fault within the string

To locate the faulty component, multiply the number of optimizers in the string bythe measured percentage

e.g. 15 optimizers x 0.40 = 6 -> optimizer 6(±1) from DC+

Note: This will only work if no more than one isolation fault is in the system


IsoTest_BuiltIn2

© SolarEdge334334

Turn the inverter OFF

Bypass the suspected optimizer+module combination and test againto check if the problem is solved

Turn the inverter ON

If the inverter produces power now, the fault is in the removed componentsTo check if the fault is in the module or the optimizer,reconnect only the suspected optimizer, leave the module disconnected and run the test again

If the inverter produces power, the fault is in the module

If the inverter fails to start power production, the fault is in the optimizer


IsoTest_BuiltIn3

© SolarEdge335335

Option 2: Insulation resistance tester (Megger tester)

Required tools:

Insulation resistance tester (500V – 1000V)

Adapters/branch cable to connect tester to strings/modules/optimizers

Isolation Resistance Tester

IsoTest_Tester1

© SolarEdge336336

Only qualified electricians should use this procedureThere is high risk of electrocution

Procedure:Turn the inverters ON/OFF switch to OFF


Switch off the inverter AC voltage using the circuit breaker in the electrical cabinet

Disconnect all DC string cables from the Inverter

Adjust the Insulation tester to 500V

When testing any part of the system that contains optimizers,use a branch cable to connect + and - together
