SolarEdge Installer
Basic Kit
The 4 essential steps for a correct installation
1. Before getting on the roof
Get ready for the installation
Installation planning
  • Select the products that compose your installation
  • Check on Designer the installation configuration through the function basic project and complete project
  • Access the products' installation technical documentation, from the portal SolarEdge dedicated to solar professionists Log In| Register 
2. On the roof
Optimizers installation
  • The optimizers must be fixed to the installation's frame below the modules, in order to protect them from direct irradiation
  • Respect the optimizers' distances by following the technical note
  • Shape the optimizers' strings as indicated by the verified project on Designer configurator
  • Designer provides a specific layout for stringing as this one, together with the material list and the electrical design
  • To apply extensions between the module and the optimizer, follow this technical note
  • Before connecting the strings to the inverter, measure cable's tension at each string ends
  • When the modules are radiated, the tension must be equal to 1V for every optimizer (ex: string with 10 optimizers -> empty voltage = about 10V)

Mapping the installation
  • Connect each optimizer to the relative module in the Monitoring Platform:
    - remove QR codes from the optimizers and mark them on a map - image
    - or scan them directly through Site Mapper as explained in the section "4. In the office"
  • Once in the office insert on the Monitoring Platform the layout you created on the roof. See section "4. In the office"
  • If you are installing a SolarEdge smart module the mapping process is quicker! It is sufficient to scan the QR code on the front side of the module. Watch here how easy it is
