Installing the Power Optimizers

The power optimizer is waterproof
when the input and output cable connectors are
, and has no need for shelter. Do NOT leave the optimizer exposed to water
unless the connectors are mated.
The power optimizer can be placed in any
orientation, meaning there is no up side.
The power optimizer should be mounted in a location that is either ventilated or that
has a free space of air around it for heat dissipation.
:
Mounting brackets are suited to either a flat surface or a pole and can be
attached
MPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE:
As long as the power optimizers are unconnected to the inverter and the inverter is
OFF, the power optimizers will output a safe 1V voltage during installation.
power optimizers are energized by the PV modules to which they are
connected. String length must not be less than eight power optimizers or the entire
string may shut down. (Please refer to the power optimizer datasheets for the exact
minimum and maximum number of power optimizers permitted in a string.)
Completely shaded PV modules may cause the affected power optimizers to
temporarily shut down. This will not affect the performance of the other power
optimizers in the string, as long as the minimum string length requirement is met
when taking into accoun
t the lighted panels only. If under typical conditions fewer
than eight modules will remain unshaded, add more PV modules.
